HTTP over SSH
=============
[](https://github.com/digineo/http-over-ssh/actions/workflows/test.yml)
[](http://codecov.io/github/digineo/http-over-ssh?branch=master)
[](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/digineo/http-over-ssh)
This dynamic HTTP proxy tunnels your HTTP requests through SSH connections
using public key authentication. The intention to develop this program is
the requirement of polling [Prometheus exporters][promexp] through SSH.
[promexp]: https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/
## Syntax
A proxy request looks like this:
GET http://// HTTP/1.1
You can override the SSH username by using HTTP Basic Auth.
## Usage
After installation (see below), start the proxy on `localhost:8000`:
```console
$ http-over-ssh -listen 127.0.0.1:8000
```
For a full list of options run `http-over-ssh -help`.
### Prometheus Scraper
Assuming this proxy runs on the same machine as Prometheus on `localhost:8080`
and you want to scrape to remote hosts running prometheus exporters on `localhost:9100`,
simply add to your scrape configs:
```yaml
- job_name: 'node-exporter'
proxy_url: http://localhost:8080/
metrics_path: /localhost:9100/metrics
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: ['__address__', '__metrics_path__']
regex: '(.+):\d+;/localhost:(\d+)/.*'
replacement: '$1:$2'
target_label: 'instance'
static_configs:
- targets:
- www.example.com:22
- mail.example.com:22
```
### Authorized Keys (OpenSSH)
To restrict an SSH key to only forward connections to `localhost:9100`, append to the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`:
```
restrict,port-forwarding,permitopen="localhost:9100" ssh-ed25519 [email protected]
```
### Metrics
Prometheus metrics can be retrieved via `/metrics`.
## Installation
If you have the Go toolchain installed, a simple
```console
$ go get github.com/digineo/http-over-ssh
```
will place a `http-over-ssh` binary in `$GOPATH/bin/`.
Alternatively, you may download a pre-built binary from the Github
[release page][releases] and extract the binary into your `$PATH`.

## Next steps
- [ ] clean up idle ssh connections
- [ ] support for unix sockets
