gliderlabs/ssh
The Glider Labs SSH server package is dope. —@bradfitz, Go team member
This Go package wraps thecrypto/sshpackage with a higher-level API forbuilding SSH servers. The goal of the API was to make it as simple as usingnet/http, so the API is very similar:
package main import ( "tailscale.com/tempfork/gliderlabs/ssh" "io" "log" ) func main() { ssh.Handle(func(s ssh.Session) { io.WriteString(s, "Hello world\n") }) log.Fatal(ssh.ListenAndServe(":2222", nil)) }This package was built by@progrium after working on nearly a dozen projects at Glider Labs using SSH and collaborating with@shazow (known forssh-chat).
Examples
A bunch of great examples are in the_examples directory.

Overview¶
Package ssh wraps the crypto/ssh package with a higher-level API for buildingSSH servers. The goal of the API was to make it as simple as using net/http, sothe API is very similar.
You should be able to build any SSH server using only this package, which wrapsrelevant types and some functions from crypto/ssh. However, you still need touse crypto/ssh for building SSH clients.
ListenAndServe starts an SSH server with a given address, handler, and options. Thehandler is usually nil, which means to use DefaultHandler. Handle sets DefaultHandler:
ssh.Handle(func(s ssh.Session) { io.WriteString(s, "Hello world\n")})log.Fatal(ssh.ListenAndServe(":2222", nil))If you don't specify a host key, it will generate one every time. This is convenientexcept you'll have to deal with clients being confused that the host key is different.It's a better idea to generate or point to an existing key on your system:
log.Fatal(ssh.ListenAndServe(":2222", nil, ssh.HostKeyFile("/Users/progrium/.ssh/id_rsa")))Although all options have functional option helpers, another way to control theserver's behavior is by creating a custom Server:
s := &ssh.Server{ Addr: ":2222", Handler: sessionHandler, PublicKeyHandler: authHandler,}s.AddHostKey(hostKeySigner)log.Fatal(s.ListenAndServe())This package automatically handles basic SSH requests like setting environmentvariables, requesting PTY, and changing window size. These requests areprocessed, responded to, and any relevant state is updated. This state is thenexposed to you via the Session interface.
The one big feature missing from the Session abstraction is signals. This wasstarted, but not completed. Pull Requests welcome!

Functions¶
funcAgentRequested¶
AgentRequested returns true if the client requested agent forwarding.
funcDefaultSessionHandler¶
func DefaultSessionHandler(srv *Server, conn *gossh.ServerConn, newChangossh.NewChannel, ctxContext)
funcDirectTCPIPHandler¶
func DirectTCPIPHandler(srv *Server, conn *gossh.ServerConn, newChangossh.NewChannel, ctxContext)
DirectTCPIPHandler can be enabled by adding it to the server'sChannelHandlers under direct-tcpip.
funcForwardAgentConnections¶
ForwardAgentConnections takes connections from a listener to proxy into thesession on the OpenSSH channel for agent connections. It blocks and servicesconnections until the listener stop accepting.
funcListenAndServe¶
ListenAndServe listens on the TCP network address addr and then calls Servewith handler to handle sessions on incoming connections. Handler is typicallynil, in which case the DefaultHandler is used.
Example¶
package mainimport ("io""tailscale.com/tempfork/gliderlabs/ssh")func main() {ssh.ListenAndServe(":2222", func(s ssh.Session) {io.WriteString(s, "Hello world\n")})}funcNewAgentListener¶
NewAgentListener sets up a temporary Unix socket that can be communicatedto the session environment and used for forwarding connections.
funcServe¶
Serve accepts incoming SSH connections on the listener l, creating a newconnection goroutine for each. The connection goroutines read requests andthen calls handler to handle sessions. Handler is typically nil, in whichcase the DefaultHandler is used.
funcSetAgentRequested¶
func SetAgentRequested(ctxContext)
SetAgentRequested sets up the session context so that AgentRequestedreturns true.

The zero value forServer is a valid configuration. When both PasswordHandler andPublicKeyHandler are nil, no client authentication is performed.
func (*Server)AddHostKey¶
AddHostKey adds a private key as a host key. If an existing host key existswith the same algorithm, it is overwritten. Each server config must have atleast one host key.
func (*Server)Close¶
Close immediately closes all active listeners and all activeconnections.
Close returns any error returned from closing the Server'sunderlying Listener(s).
func (*Server)HandleConn¶
func (*Server)ListenAndServe¶
ListenAndServe listens on the TCP network address srv.Addr and then callsServe to handle incoming connections. If srv.Addr is blank, ":22" is used.ListenAndServe always returns a non-nil error.
func (*Server)Serve¶
Serve accepts incoming connections on the Listener l, creating a newconnection goroutine for each. The connection goroutines read requests and thencalls srv.Handler to handle sessions.
Serve always returns a non-nil error.
func (*Server)Shutdown¶
Shutdown gracefully shuts down the server without interrupting anyactive connections. Shutdown works by first closing all openlisteners, and then waiting indefinitely for connections to close.If the provided context expires before the shutdown is complete,then the context's error is returned.
