From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You have a list of systems you've connected to in known_hosts, though. And the config file is easy enough to parse - throwing away the stuff you don't care about - to expand on that list.

I could add a import from known_hosts option or something like that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I assume you mean "lookup", as import doesn't really make much sense.

I'm currently using this with wofi, though I'll eventually rewrite it as anyrun plugin, which provides a bit more control:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from argparse import ArgumentParser
import subprocess
import json
import os
 
ssh_config_file = "~/.ssh/config"
ssh_known_hosts_file = "~/.ssh/known_hosts"
 
# Returns a list of all hosts
def get_hosts():
 
    hosts = []
 
    with open(os.path.expanduser(ssh_config_file)) as f:
        content = f.readlines()
 
    for line in content:
        line = line.lstrip()
        # Ignore wildcards
        if line.startswith('Host ') and not '*' in line:
            for host in line.split()[1:]:
                hosts.append(host)
 
    # Removes duplicate entries
    hosts = sorted(set(hosts))
 
    return hosts
 
def get_known_hosts():
 
    hosts = []
 
    with open(os.path.expanduser(ssh_known_hosts_file)) as f:
        content = f.readlines()
 
    for line in content:
        line = line.lstrip()
        host_entry = line.partition(" ")[0]
        hosts.append(host_entry.partition(",")[0])
 
    # Removes duplicate entries
    hosts = sorted(set(hosts))
 
    return hosts

    return "\n".join(hosts).encode("UTF-8")

    process = subprocess.Popen(command,shell=True,stdin=subprocess.PIPE,stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    ret = process.communicate(input=hosts)
    host, rest = ret
    return host

def ssh_to_host(host, terminal, ssh_command):
 
    if "]:" in host:

    process = subprocess.Popen(command,shell=True)

    args = parser.parse_args()
