Instead of a shell, you get a chat prompt.\n\n## Demo\n\nJoin the party:\n\n```\n$ ssh chat.shazow.net\n```\n\nThe server's RSA key fingerprint is `e5:d5:d1:75:90:38:42:f6:c7:03:d7:d0:56:7d:6a:db`. If you see something different, you might be [MITM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack)'d.\n\n(Apologies if the server is down, try again shortly.)\n\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```\nUsage:\n  ssh-chat [OPTIONS]\n\nApplication Options:\n  -v, --verbose    Show verbose logging.\n  -i, --identity=  Private key to identify server with. (~/.ssh/id_rsa)\n      --bind=      Host and port to listen on. (0.0.0.0:22)\n      --admin=     Fingerprint of pubkey to mark as admin.\n      --whitelist= Optional file of pubkey fingerprints that are allowed to connect\n      --motd=      Message of the Day file (optional)\n      --pprof=     enable http server for pprof\n\nHelp Options:\n  -h, --help       Show this help message\n```\n\nAfter doing `go get github.com/shazow/ssh-chat` on this repo, you should be able\nto run a command like:\n\n```\n$ ssh-chat --verbose --bind \":2022\" --identity ~/.ssh/id_dsa\n```\n\nTo bind on port 22, you'll need to make sure it's free (move any other ssh\ndaemons to another port) and run ssh-chat as root (or with sudo).\n\n## Deploying with Docker\n\nYou can run ssh-chat using a Docker image without manually installing go-lang:\n\n```\n$ docker pull alvin/ssh-chat\n$ docker run -d -p 0.0.0.0:(your host machine port):2022 --name ssh-chat alvin/ssh-chat\n```\n\nSee notes in the header of our Dockerfile for details on building your own image.\n\n\n## Developing\n\nIf you're developing on this repo, there is a handy Makefile that should set\nthings up with `make run`.\n\nAdditionally, `make debug` runs the server with an http `pprof` server. This allows you to open [http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/]() and view profiling data. See [net/http/pprof](http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/pprof/) for more information about `pprof`.\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmvrilo%2Fssh-chat","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmvrilo%2Fssh-chat","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmvrilo%2Fssh-chat/lists"}
