This is a tool to help you and your team to manage multiple SSH tunnels from/to an exist node.

I have been working a lot with microservices, containers and clusters lately and one thing that I did a lot is to open ssh tunnels to/from a test env to my lap or to help a co-worker to share his services to an exist node and them to my laptop, this was difficult once we started sharing multiple services to multiple developers that are working on multiple projects and multiple envs, this tool is to help us to manage all those interactions. I hope that this could be something useful for you and your team as well.

Some features/differences with other alternatives are:

- The tool is self hosted and free, you don't need to register or get a token.

- Share services from/to only the target devices without expose the service to the exit node.

- You can have the same port multiple times on you local machine. (super useful if you want to have the same hostname:port across the team devices or test environments).

- A GraphQL API to query and control (everything that you see/control on the UI) for easy automation and scripting.

- Aware of multiple devices, this makes the collaboration easier. A device can be your laptop, a RaspberryPI, a Kubernetes deployment, a node, etc...

- Save and control (Start/Stop) multiple endpoints per device.

- Split connection loads between multiple sshd instances/exit nodes to avoid slowness and instability. (For example to copy big files between devices/Shared docker registry/media streams)

- Independent SSH/SSHD services and configuration for the server and target devices.

Thank you and give it a try!, if you have any feedback or if you have any issue please let me know, I am happy to help.
