✨ NAME ✨

hpct-ssh — HiPerConTracer SSH via Reverse Tunnel 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the girlies' guide to hpct-ssh(1), the little SSH script that could 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hpct-ssh USER@NODE_ID
         [-c | --copy-id]
         [-q | --quiet] [-w | --verbose]
         [--] SSH_ARGUMENTS ...
hpct-ssh [-h | --help]
hpct-ssh [-v | --version]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So hpct-ssh is the HiPerConTracer SSH script. ✨ It's meant to be run on the Collector, and what it does is set you up with an SSH login via reverse tunnel to whatever node you point at. That's the whole vibe. You run it on the Collector, you say which node you want, and boom — connection. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Here's everything you can hand over to it, no gatekeeping:

  • USER@NODE_ID — the SSH user name, plus the node ID of the node you want to open a SSH connection to. It's one argument, it's giving two facts in a trench coat. 👑
  • -q | --quiet — turns off status output. Shhh. 🤫
  • -w | --verbose — turns on status output. Now she's talking. 🗣️
  • -c | --copy-id — calls ssh-copy-id first, so that public/private key-based authentication gets set up against the remote node. If that works out, SSH is tried. The goal here? A password-less login, the dream. 🔑✨
  • -- — everything after -- gets handed straight to the SSH call. Not a single thing touched, fr fr. 🫡
  • -h | --help — prints command help. 🆘
  • -v | --version — prints program version. 🏷️

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

The hpct-ssh tool exits with 0 when it's a success story 💖, and >0 when something went wrong 😭.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Real ones, literally:

hpct-ssh user@1000
hpct-ssh user@1000 --verbose
hpct-ssh user@1000 --copy-id --verbose
hpct-ssh user@1000 --quiet -- 'hostname; pactl list sources'
hpct-ssh --version
hpct-ssh -h

So casual, so slay. 💅
