Sshsync – CLI tool to run shell commands across multiple remote servers

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…

In plain words

Sshsync is a CLI tool for executing shell commands and transferring files across multiple remote servers concurrently over SSH. It's designed for system administrators and developers who need to manage multiple servers. The tool reads existing SSH configurations, allows grouping hosts via YAML, supports parallel execution, includes file transfer with progress bars, and offers a dry-run mode to preview actions before executing. Results display in formatted tables with color output.

In the maker’s words, at launch

I built a CLI tool called `sshsync` to run shell commands and transfer files across multiple servers over SSH concurrently.

Would love feedback on general use and especially if there are ways to improve the `--dry-run` output.

    Ts-SSH – SSH over Tailscale without running the daemon2025 · github.com · ▲103

    ts-ssh solves a specific problem: accessing machines on your Tailnet from environments where you can't install the full Tailscale daemon (like CI/CD runners or restricted systems). It uses Tailscale's tsnet library to establish userspace connectivity, then provides a standard SSH experience. Works with existing workflows since it supports normal SSH features like ProxyCommand, key auth, and terminal handling. Some features that proved useful: • Parallel command execution across multiple hosts • Built-in tmux session management for multi-host work • SCP-style file transfers • Works on…

    ServerBuddy – GUI SSH client for managing Linux servers from macOS2025 · serverbuddy.app · ▲42

    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,…
