NAME

App::Goto2 - Easily SSH to many servers

SYNOPSIS

  use App::Goto2;

DESCRIPTION

App::Goto2 is intended to take the strain out of having a large number of servers you frequently have to access via SSH. It allows you to set up nicknames, use partial hostnames, and auto-detect available AWS EC2 instances and work out which one(s) you actually want. It also allows for iterating over a number of machines one after the other, and the specification of an optional command to be run on the remote machine(s).

Written by somebody who frequently had to SSH to a vast number of machines in multiple domains, with SSH running on numerous ports, with a variety of usernames, using a variety of SSH keys; and got sick of trying to remember all the details when writing for loops to remotely execute commands on them all.

You can get a lot of the same functionality (port/user/aliases/etc) just by updating your ssh config file, but (a) it's harder to share a config file, (b) it wouldn't have the EC2 integration and (c) it doesn't lend itself to wildcards so well.

CONFIG

By default, the config file will be looked for in ~/.go2/config.yml

An example layout:

 ---
 hosts:
   foo:
     hostname: fubar.example.com
     user: myname
     port: 2222
   bar:
     hostname: bar.example.com
     user: myothername
 aws:
   AWSAccessKeyId: ASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMQWER
   SecretAccessKey: kmj5jgGg7gGKJkqkohknKJHkzhk7hKJHLJKt6tw
   region: eu-west-1
   domain: .example.com
