Config...penSsh(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Config::Model::OpenSsh — it's an OpenSSH config editor, bestie 💅 (this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, iykyk)

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 2.10.2.1 — yes she's got a whole four-part version number, iconic

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

🦋 invoke editor

Okay so this one launches a whole graphical editor for you (but only if Config::Model::TkUI is installed, so check that first babes):

sudo cme edit sshd

💖 command line

This command is literally gonna add a "Host Foo" section inside "~/.ssh/config":

cme modify ssh Host:Foo ForwardX11=yes

✨ programmatic

And this little code snippet right here? It removes the "Host Foo" section we just added above. Like, undo energy:

use Config::Model ;
my $model = Config::Model->new() ;
my $inst = $model->instance (root_class_name => 'Ssh');
$inst -> config_root->load("Host~Foo") ;
$inst->write_back() ;

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So this module gives you a configuration editor (plus the models, because she contains multitudes) for the config files of OpenSSH. Specifically: "/etc/ssh/sshd_config", "/etc/ssh/ssh_config" and "~/.ssh/config". The holy trinity 🫶

She can also be used to modify the content of these config files safely from inside a Perl program. Safe! No cap.

Once this module is installed, you can edit "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" with this (as root, bestie):

# cme edit sshd

To edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config, run this (again, as root):

# cme edit ssh

To edit ~/.ssh/config, run it as a normal user:

$ cme edit ssh

💜 user interfaces

As mentioned over in cme, there are several user interfaces available with the "edit" subcommand:

• A graphical interface is proposed by default if Config::Model::TkUI is installed. Default behavior, main character energy fr 💅
• A Curses interface with option cme edit ssh -ui curses if Config::Model::CursesUI is installed.
• A Shell like interface with option cme edit ssh -ui shell.
