sshauto

Automate repetitive and tideous SSH tasks, send bulk commands to multiple terminals without having to log in to them individually.

Initial setup

Create your configuration file from the demo.json template and adjust settings.

If you don't want to store plaintext passwords, enter "ask" as your password to be asked during the procedure. If you want to use one password for all servers, enter "askonce" instead. The script sorts servers from top to bottom, so you can organize around "askonce" and still have passwords and "ask" trigger ahead of it.

For linux, you need to apt-get install plink. For Windows, you need the bundled plink.exe

This is what a demo config file looks like:

[
  {
    "ip": "192.168.0.1",
    "username": "root",
    "password": "admin",
    "scripts": ["scripts/nyzo_update.txt"]
  },
  {
    "ip": "192.168.0.2",
    "username": "root",
    "password": "ask",
    "scripts": ["scripts/nyzo_update.txt"]
  },
  {
    "ip": "192.168.0.3",
    "username": "root",
    "password": "askonce",
    "scripts": ["scripts/nyzo_update.txt", "bismuth_balance.txt"]
  },
  {
    "ip": "192.168.0.4",
    "username": "root",
    "password": "",
    "scripts": ["scripts/nyzo_update.txt"]
  }
]

Supports unlimited number of servers and unlimited number of script files per server. Of course, you may have as many configurations as you want since execution happens through arguments.

The script file is simply a set of commands you would normally enter in terminal:

cd nyzoVerifier
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull origin master
./gradlew build
sudo supervisorctl reload

To run, you need to supply your configuration file as an argument to the script, here's the demo example:

python3.7 sshauto.py --conf configs/demo.json
