manage ssh connections to server, create keys, run processes and log results currently in development

Installation

To install the package simply run

$ composer require legobox-co/quick-ssh

Next, proceed to register the service provider in order to have the package visible to your app. In config/app.php, alongside it's facade for easy accessibility

<?php
...
return [
  'providers' => [
    ...
    Legobox\QuickSsh\SshServiceProvider::class,
    ...
  ],
  
  'aliases' => [
    ...
    'QuickSsh' => 'Legobox\QuickSsh\Facades\QuickSsh::class',
    ...
  ]
]

Next you can proceed to publish the configuration so you can change the defaults.

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Legobox\QuickSsh\SshServiceProvider"

Usage

Lets see how to use the library

Creating an SSH key.

In order to create an ssh key pair

use QuickSsh;
$keys = QuickSsh::createKeys($value = null);
$keys->publicKey // return the public key
$keys->privateKey // return the private key

Connect to a server

use QuickSsh;
// server options host, keytext, username
$serverInstance = QuickSsh::connector($serverOptions)->connect();

Run a Process

To run commands on your default remote connection, use the run method on your instance:

$serverInstance->run([
    'cd /var/www',
    'git pull origin master',
]);

Catching Output From Commands

You may catch the "live" output of your remote commands by passing a Closure into the run method:

$serverInstance->run($commands, function($line)
{
    echo $line.PHP_EOL;
});

Tasks

If you need to define a group of commands that should always be run together, you may use the define method to define a task:

$serverInstance->define('deploy', [
    'cd /var/www',
    'git pull origin master',
    'php artisan migrate',
]);

Once the task has been defined, you may use the task method to run it:

$serverInstance->task('deploy', function($line)
{
    echo $line.PHP_EOL;
});

SFTP Downloads

The instance includes a simple way to download files using the get and getString methods:

$serverInstance->get($remotePath, $localPath);

$contents = $serverInstance->getString($remotePath);

SFTP Uploads

The SSH class also includes a simple way to upload files, or even strings, to the server using the put and putString methods:

$serverInstance->put($localFile, $remotePath);
$serverInstance->putString($remotePath, 'Foo');
