Hi Everyone, I built a tool for interactive navigation in the terminal that is intended to replace the all-too-familiar cycle of `ls` to view a directory, followed by `cd`, then `ls`, and repeat. nav is a terminal filesystem explorer built for interactive `ls` workflows. The key features I wanted to enable are interactivity and search without feeling like I'm using anything other than `ls`. nav supports common `ls` options/flags, as well as tab completion, and might expand its support for less common options in the future. These options exist as both CLI flags and interactive toggles.…

Hi HN, I've built an app for macOS that allows performing common SSH operations on Linux servers using a native GUI. The problem: Managing multiple Linux servers usually means juggling terminal windows and copy-pasting snippets/scripts. After dealing with tens of production/staging VPSes at previous jobs, I realized there had to be a better way for common operations I did on a daily basis than my collection of bash snippets. Features: - Quickly switch between different servers. Tag servers with arbitrary key values for easy search. - Real-time dashboard with CPU/memory graphs,…

Happy new year folks! This tool was born out of a situation where I had 'inherited' a bunch of servers that were not under any form of config management. Oh, the horror... Enroll 'harvests' system information such as what packages are installed, what services are running, what files have 'differed' from their out-of-the-box defaults, and what other custom snowflake data might exist. The harvest state data can be kept as its own sort of SBOM, but also can be converted in a mere second or two into fully-functional Ansible roles/playbooks/inventory. It can be run remotely over SSH or…

I built a CLI tool called `sshsync` to run shell commands and transfer files across multiple servers over SSH concurrently. It was inspired by tools like `pssh`, but I wanted something more modern, intuitive, and Pythonic. What it does: - Run shell commands on multiple servers (in parallel) - Push/pull files or directories with progress bars - Uses `~/.ssh/config` and lets you group hosts with YAML - Supports `--dry-run` mode to preview actions without executing - Outputs results using `rich` (tables, colors) - Built with `Typer`, `asyncssh`, and `rich` There’s no daemon or…

Hey everyone, I've wanted an easy way to control which mcp server tools are available to clients. So for example, I might want a gmail server to only expose the read tool (but not send, delete etc). I figured if I create a cli for spawning mcp servers, I could intercept the stdin, stdout, stderr etc and modify what the clients see when they are making calls to list tools, resources, and prompts. Well it worked! In the initial version you can easily add a server to claude with a safe list of tools: npx -y mcpgod add @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything --client claude --tools=echo,add…

Hey all. I built ShellDash, an interactive server admin dashboard with shell scripting and an appealing globe UI. https://shelldash.com The goal is to provide a global monitoring view of your servers, with shell script access, in a way that feels natural and productive, plus a minimal and appealing UI/UX. The technology is fairly interesting. This being a browser app, I built a Go WASM SSH client running in the browser, proxied through my server WebSocket endpoints. This means I can provide you a Web UI to access your servers via SSH, without ever needing to see your…

So first, what are we? A Clubhouse inside the terminal, where people can take a break, chill, chat with others all around the globe, listen to music, play some games, or paint on a live artboard :). ssh late.sh (or use the companion CLI) That's all. No passwords. No OAuth. No accounts. Your SSH key is your identity. Honestly, I've been a little nervous to post this. I wanted the Clubhouse to be something I'm genuinely proud of before sharing, and I think we are finally there :) There is so much here, so I'll really try to focus on the core: - full-scale chat, mentions, rooms, public and…

I’m building Nautilus, a cross-platform desktop manager for Linux servers. While there are many SSH clients out there, I wanted something that combined a high-level dashboard, a full SFTP explorer with an integrated editor, and specialized tools like a Cron job manager and Process monitor—all in a modern, lightweight desktop package. Key Technical Highlights: Tauri + Node.JS Sidecar: We use Tauri for the native windowing and Rust security, but the heavy SSH/SFTP lifting is done via a Node.js sidecar (using ssh2). This allowed us to leverage a very mature ecosystem while keeping the…
