SSH to named servers

[artpik]

It would be great to be able to connect with SSH not only to the "main" server, but also to the named servers as well:

@artpik found any solutions/ alternatives? Looking for the same thing

[artpik]

@stubclan no, users have to use SSH to the "main" server only or use a terminal in JupyterHub. SSH to the named servers would be a great feature.

@artpik I actually successfully managed to connect to named servers. I can share the code if you want.. Github isn't letting me actually create a MR so not sure if we can put it there but yea

[artpik]

@stubclan Wow, really? The code is in your fork, right? https://github.com/stubclan/jupyterhub-ssh/commits/main/jupyterhub_ssh/__init__.py
It is so nice of you.

[stubclan]

@artpik yes you found it. Its just sth small I threw together.

Next I'm looking to see if we can specify what type of server while spawning directly via ssh but I'm not seeing any jupyterhub api support so idk

[artpik]

@stubclan Thanks a lot! It is definitely very helpful. I will test it.
