Wish
Make SSH apps, just like that! 💫
SSH is an excellent platform for building remotely accessible applications. It offers:
- secure communication without the hassle of HTTPS certificates
- user identification with SSH keys
- access from any terminal
Powerful protocols like Git work over SSH and you can even render TUIs directly over an SSH connection.
Wish is an SSH server with sensible defaults and a collection of middlewares that makes building SSH apps really easy. Wish is built on gliderlabs/ssh and should be easy to integrate into any existing projects.
What are SSH Apps?
Usually, when we think about SSH, we think about remote shell access into servers,
most commonly through openssh-server.
That's a perfectly valid (and probably the most common) use of SSH, but it can do so much more than that. Just like HTTP, SMTP, FTP and others, SSH is a protocol! It is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. ^1
That means, among other things, that we can write custom SSH servers without touching openssh-server,
so we can securely do more things than just providing a shell.
Wish is a library that helps writing these kind of apps using Go.
Middleware
Wish middlewares are analogous to those in several HTTP frameworks. They are essentially SSH handlers that you can use to do specific tasks, and then call the next middleware.
Notice that middlewares are composed from first to last, which means the last one is executed first.
Bubble Tea
The bubbletea middleware makes it easy to serve any
Bubble Tea application over SSH. Each SSH session will get their own
tea.Program with the SSH pty input and output connected. Client window
dimension and resize messages are also natively handled by the tea.Program.
You can see a demo of the Wish middleware in action at: ssh git.charm.sh
Git
The git middleware adds git server functionality to any ssh server.
It supports repo creation on initial push and custom public key based auth.
This middleware requires that git is installed on the server.
Logging
The logging middleware provides basic connection logging. Connects
are logged with the remote address, invoked command, TERM setting, window
dimensions and if the auth was public key based. Disconnect will log the remote
address and connection duration.
Access Control
Not all applications will support general SSH connections. To restrict access
to supported methods, you can use the activeterm middleware to
only allow connections with active terminals connected and the
accesscontrol middleware that lets you specify allowed
commands.
Default Server
Wish includes the ability to easily create an always authenticating default SSH server with automatic server key generation.
Examples
There are examples for a standalone Bubble Tea application and Git server in the examples folder.
Apps Built With Wish
Pro tip
When building various Wish applications locally you can add the following to
your ~/.ssh/config to avoid having to clear out localhost entries in your
~/.ssh/known_hosts file:
Host localhost
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
How it works?
Wish uses gliderlabs/ssh to implement its SSH server, and OpenSSH is never used nor needed — you can even uninstall it if you want to.
Incidentally, there's no risk of accidentally sharing a shell because there's no default behavior that does that on Wish.
Running with SystemD
If you want to run a Wish app with systemd, you can create an unit like so:
/etc/systemd/system/myapp.service:
[Unit]
Description=My App
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=myapp
Group=myapp
WorkingDirectory=/home/myapp/
ExecStart=/usr/bin/myapp
Restart=on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
You can tune the values below, and once you're happy with them, you can run:
# need to run this every time you change the unit file
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
# start/restart/stop/etc:
sudo systemctl start myapp
If you use a new user for each app (which is good), you'll need to create them first:
useradd --system --user-group --create-home myapp
That should do it.

Functions ¶
func Fatalf ¶
Fatalf formats according to the given format, prints to the session's STDERR followed by an exit 1.
Notice that this might cause formatting issues if you don't add a \r\n in the end of your string.
func Fatalln ¶
Fatalln formats according to the default format, prints to the session's STDERR, followed by a new line and an exit 1.
func NewServer ¶
NewServer is returns a default SSH server with the provided Middleware. A new SSH key pair of type ed25519 will be created if one does not exist. By default this server will accept all incoming connections, password and public key.
func WithAddress ¶
WithAddress returns an ssh.Option that sets the address to listen on.
func WithAuthorizedKeys ¶
WithAuthorizedKeys allows the use of an SSH authorized_keys file to allowlist users.
func WithBanner ¶
WithBanner return an ssh.Option that sets the server banner.
func WithBannerHandler ¶
func WithBannerHandler(h ssh.BannerHandler) ssh.Option
WithBannerHandler return an ssh.Option that sets the server banner handler, overriding WithBanner.
func WithHostKeyPEM ¶
WithHostKeyPEM returns an ssh.Option that sets the host key from a PEM block.
func WithHostKeyPath ¶
WithHostKeyFile returns an ssh.Option that sets the path to the private key.
func WithIdleTimeout ¶
WithIdleTimeout returns an ssh.Option that sets the connection's idle timeout.
func WithKeyboardInteractiveAuth ¶
func WithKeyboardInteractiveAuth(h ssh.KeyboardInteractiveHandler) ssh.Option
WithKeyboardInteractiveAuth returns an ssh.Option that sets the keyboard interactive auth handler.
func WithMaxTimeout ¶
WithMaxTimeout returns an ssh.Option that sets the connection's absolute timeout.
func WithMiddleware ¶
func WithMiddleware(mw ...Middleware) ssh.Option
WithMiddleware composes the provided Middleware and returns an ssh.Option. This is useful if you manually create an ssh.Server and want to set the Server.Handler.
Notice that middlewares are composed from first to last, which means the last one is executed first.
func WithPasswordAuth ¶
func WithPasswordAuth(p ssh.PasswordHandler) ssh.Option
WithPasswordAuth returns an ssh.Option that sets the password auth handler.
func WithPublicKeyAuth ¶
func WithPublicKeyAuth(h ssh.PublicKeyHandler) ssh.Option
WithPublicKeyAuth returns an ssh.Option that sets the public key auth handler.
func WithSubsystem ¶
func WithSubsystem(key string, h ssh.SubsystemHandler) ssh.Option
WithSubsystem returns an ssh.Option that sets the subsystem handler for a given protocol.
func WithTrustedUserCAKeys ¶
WithTrustedUserCAKeys authorize certificates that are signed with the given Certificate Authority public key, and are valid. Analogous to the TrustedUserCAKeys OpenSSH option.
func WithVersion ¶
WithVersion returns an ssh.Option that sets the server version.
Types ¶
type Cmd ¶
type Cmd struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Cmd wraps a *exec.Cmd and a ssh.Pty so a command can be properly run.
func Command ¶
Command sets stdin, stdout, and stderr to the current session's PTY.
If the current session does not have a PTY, it sets them to the session itself.
This will use the session's context as the context for exec.Command.
func CommandContext ¶
CommandContext is like Command but includes a context.
If the current session does not have a PTY, it sets them to the session itself.
