💅 tmate-ssh-server — the manual page, bestie edition

okay so you're reading the tmate-ssh-server(1) manual, which means you want the server half of tmate. slay. let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

tmate-ssh-server — the server side part of tmate 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tmate-ssh-server [-b ip] [-h hostname] [-k keys_dir] [-a authorized_keys_path] [-p port] [-x proxy_hostname] [-q proxy_port] [-s] [-v]

look at that little flag parade. iconic behaviour, honestly. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

tmate-ssh-server is the server side part of tmate, no cap. it literally acts as a ssh-server and it takes connections from tmate clients. that's it, that's the whole vibe: clients come in, server holds the door open. 👑

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -b ip — the ip you want it to bind to. pick your address, bestie 🏠
  • -h hostname — the hostname. yes, it's a lowercase -h, we are NOT getting help from that one, so don't get it twisted 💀
  • -k keysdir — the directory containing the ssh-keys 🔑 like, the folder where your keys live
  • -a authorized_keys_path — the path to the authorized keys file 🎀
  • -p port — the port to listen on. choose wisely 👀
  • -x proxy_hostname — the proxy hostname 🌈
  • -q proxy_port — the proxy port 🦋 (it's giving proxy energy, both of them)
  • -s — use syslog 📜
  • -v — verbose output. she talks more when you ask her to 🗣️✨
lowkey note: -h here is the hostname flag, not a help flag. it's giving confusing but it's literally what the page says, so. 🙈
