# Simple SSH

**Simple SSH** enables running commands against a remote host via SSH. It is **not** an implementation of the protocol, but relies on any existing SSH client program installed on the client machine (eg: *OpenSSH*).

*Simple SSH* is stateless, in that a connection is initiated and terminated for every request, after a response is received. Commands can be pipelined, allowing to send multiple commands in a single request.

*Simple SSH* assumes public key authentication, where a client's public key is expected to be listed in the server's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file. No other authentication methods are supported at this time.

## Installation

1. Add the dependency to your `shard.yml`:

```yaml
dependencies:
simple_ssh:
github: GrottoPress/simple_ssh
```

2. Run `shards install`

## Usage

- Run single command:

```crystal
require "simple_ssh"

ssh = SimpleSsh.new("root", ip: "127.0.0.1")
# <= `port:` defaults to '22'

ssh.run("ls /root") do |response|
puts response.status.success? # <= true

response.output.try do |output|
ouput.each_line { |line| puts line }
end

response.error.try do |error|
error.each_line { |line| puts line }
end
end
```

- Run multiple (pipelined) commands:

```crystal
require "simple_ssh"

ssh = SimpleSsh.new("username", "my.host.name", 2222)

ssh << "ls /root"
ssh << "cat /non-existent"
# <= Alias: `ssh.command(...)`

ssh.run do |responses|
puts responses.size # <= 2
# <= Responses follow the order of the commands:
# <= `responses[0]` is for "ls /root"
# <= `responses[1]` is for "cat /non-existent"

responses.each do |response|
puts response.status.exit_code

response.output.try do |output|
ouput.each_line { |line| puts line }
end

response.error.try do |error|
error.each_line { |line| puts line }
end
end
end
```

## Development

Run tests with `docker-compose run --rm spec`. If you need to update shards before that, run `docker-compose run --rm shards`.
