Simple Client Side SSH Key Organizer for Developers

At work I am working with more than 60 devices over SSH. And remembering all by IP address and Passwords is not possible. So I wrote this simple shell script in order to create ssh keys and orginize it under ~/.ssh/ folder.

Installation

In order to install type following in terminal:

# sudo make install

Uninstallation

In order to remove script type following in terminal:

# sudo make uninstall

Usage

In order to run script type following any working direcotry:

# ssko

And answer serveral question which it will ask. It will orginize your keys under ~/.ssh/ folder where config file will look something like this:

HOST server01
	HostName 192.168.0.1
	Port 10022
	User someadminuser
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/host_keys/192.168.0.1/id_rsa_192.168.0.1

After configuration you can copy id_rsa_192.168.0.1.pub to your server. For details how to configure server read this StackOverflow answer.

TODO:

• Before write check HOST matcher exist inside config file.
• Copy public key to buffer using xclip, if it is installed before script complite the job.
