bridgy
TL;DR: bridgy = ssh + tmux + sshfs + cloud inventory search
Just get me to my ec2 box with a simple search. Multiple matches? Just ssh into all matching instances via tmux.
Features:
- Custom inventory sources:
- AWS (supports matching by tag, dns, or instance-id)
- GCP
- New Relic
- CSV
- Ansible inventory
- Search against multiple inventory sources simultaneously
- Connect to inventory sources via a bastion/jumpbox
- Fuzzy search against the inventory
- Prompt for single/multi selection for matched hosts in inventory
- Open multiple ssh connections via tmux (splits or tabs)
- Configure custom tmux layouts (via config)
- Seamless connection via bastion (via config)
- Setup sshfs mount to a remote dir
- Run custom command on login (via config)
- Run arbitrary ansible playbooks
- Push / pull files (via ansible fetch/copy task)
- Ssh tunnel to hosts
- ECS support (exec to container, currently only via new relic inventory)
- Python3 support :)
(Want a feature? Just create an issue describing it)
Installing
Linux
pip install --user bridgy
# optionally support sshing into multiple systems at once
sudo apt install tmux
# optionally support remote mounts
sudo apt install sshfs
# put this into your ~/.bashrc (pip install --user does not put bins in the 'right' spot for everyone: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3813)
export PATH=${HOME}/.local/bin:$PATH
Note: you may still need to add bridgy to your path!
OSX
sudo easy_install pip
pip install --user bridgy --ignore-installed six
# optionally support sshing into multiple systems at once
brew install tmux
# optionally support remote mounts
brew cask install osxfuse
brew install sshfs
# put this into your ~/.bash_profile (pip install --user does not put bins in the 'right' spot for everyone: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3813)
export PATH=${HOME}/.local/bin:$PATH
Windows
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Getting started
After installing, create a configuration file by running
$ bridgy init
This will create a default ~/.bridgy/config.yml
file for you. From there you need to configure inventory sources and other options:
config-schema: 2
inventory:
source:
- type: csv
name: on-site servers
# CSV files are placed in ~/.bridgy/inventory/csv
file: somefile.csv
# requires at least name and address
fields: name, address
# Inventory parameters to support querying AWS using boto profiles
- type: aws
name: test
profile: a-boto-profile-name
region: us-west-2
# define ssh behavior and preferences
ssh:
user: awesome-user
options: -C -o ServerAliveInterval=255
command: sudo -i su - another-user -s /bin/bash
tmux: false
Now you can ssh into a system referenced from the given inventory sources:
# without tmux
$ bridgy ssh someserver
# with tmux (or set the ssh.tmux=true config option to always use tmux)
$ bridgy ssh -t someserver
That's just to get you started, there is plenty more you can do though!
Have a special multi-pane tmux layout for every system you login to? Drop it in the config, reference it by name:
tmux:
layout:
logger:
- cmd: split-window -h
- cmd: split-window -h
- cmd: split-window -v
run: tail -f /var/log/messages
- cmd: set-window-option synchronize-panes on
then...
$ bridgy ssh -tl logger awesomebox
Want to remotely mount a dir from your ec2 instance over ssh locally?
$ bridgy mount awesomebox:/appdir
[?] What instances would you like to have mounted? (enter to select):
> o dev-myawesomeboxname (10.10.60.220)
o qa-myawesomeboxname (10.10.63.13)
Mounted dev-myawesomeboxname:/tmp at ~/.bridgy/mounts/dev-myawesomeboxname
Need to connect to your boxes via a jumpbox? Drop in your bastion connection information in the config:
bastion:
user: some-username
address: some-ip-or-host
# optional ssh arguments
options: -C -o ServerAliveInterval=255 -o FingerprintHash=sha256 -o TCPKeepAlive=yes -o ForwardAgent=yes -p 22222
Need a different bastion for a given inventory source, override it:
inventory:
source:
- type: csv
name: on-site servers
file: anawesome.csv
fields: name, address
# if you need to connect to aws hosts via a bastion, then
# provide all connectivity info in each inventory item
# (each inventory source bastion overrides the global bastion configuration)
bastion:
user: a-better-username
address: someotherhost.com
options: -C -o ServerAliveInterval=60
bastion:
user: some-username
address: some-ip-or-host.com
options: -C -o ServerAliveInterval=255 -o FingerprintHash=sha256 -o TCPKeepAlive=yes -o ForwardAgent=yes -p 22222
The same override functionality is available for ssh options and pattern matchers:
inventory:
source:
- type: csv
name: on-site servers
include_pattern: .*meh_.*
file: anawesome.csv
fields: name, address
ssh:
user: a-better-username
options: -C -o ServerAliveInterval=60
ssh:
user: some-username
options: -C -o ServerAliveInterval=255
Want to perform arbitrary tasks? Drop an ansible playbook in config, reference it by name (grab-files
):
run:
grab-files:
- hosts: app-srv-13, dev-srv
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: 'Get secrets.yml'
fetch:
src: /appdir/config/secrets.yml
dest: /tmp/prefix-{{ inventory_hostname }}.secrets.yml
fail_on_missing: yes
flat: yes
- name: 'Get production.rb'
fetch:
src: /appdir/config/environments/production.rb
dest: /tmp/prefix-{{ inventory_hostname }}.production.rb
fail_on_missing: yes
flat: yes
- name: 'Get database.yml'
fetch:
src: /appdir/config/database.yml
dest: /tmp/prefix-{{ inventory_hostname }}.database.yml
fail_on_missing: yes
flat: yes
then...
$ bridgy run grab-files

Want to exec into a running container in ECS? (only via new relic inventory is supported)
