The Glider Labs SSH server package is dope. —@bradfitz, Go team member

This Go package wraps the crypto/ssh package with a higher-level API for building SSH servers. The goal of the API was to make it as simple as using net/http, so the API is very similar:

 package main

 import (
     "github.com/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 for ssh-chat).

Examples

A bunch of great examples are in the _examples directory.

Usage

Overview

Package ssh wraps the crypto/ssh package with a higher-level API for building SSH servers. The goal of the API was to make it as simple as using net/http, so the API is very similar.

You should be able to build any SSH server using only this package, which wraps relevant types and some functions from crypto/ssh. However, you still need to use crypto/ssh for building SSH clients.

ListenAndServe starts an SSH server with a given address, handler, and options. The handler 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 convenient except 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 the server'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 environment variables, requesting PTY, and changing window size. These requests are processed, responded to, and any relevant state is updated. This state is then exposed to you via the Session interface.

The one big feature missing from the Session abstraction is signals. This was started, but not completed. Pull Requests welcome!

Functions

func AgentRequested added in v0.1.1 

func AgentRequested(sess Session) bool

AgentRequested returns true if the client requested agent forwarding.

func DefaultSessionHandler added in v0.2.0 

func DefaultSessionHandler(srv *Server, conn *gossh.ServerConn, newChan gossh.NewChannel, ctx Context)

func DirectTCPIPHandler added in v0.2.0 

func DirectTCPIPHandler(srv *Server, conn *gossh.ServerConn, newChan gossh.NewChannel, ctx Context)

DirectTCPIPHandler can be enabled by adding it to the server's ChannelHandlers under direct-tcpip.

func ForwardAgentConnections added in v0.1.1 

func ForwardAgentConnections(l net.Listener, s Session)

ForwardAgentConnections takes connections from a listener to proxy into the session on the OpenSSH channel for agent connections. It blocks and services connections until the listener stop accepting.

func Handle 

func Handle(handler Handler)

Handle registers the handler as the DefaultHandler.

func KeysEqual 

func KeysEqual(ak, bk PublicKey) bool

KeysEqual is constant time compare of the keys to avoid timing attacks.

func ListenAndServe 

func ListenAndServe(addr string, handler Handler, options ...Option) error

ListenAndServe listens on the TCP network address addr and then calls Serve with handler to handle sessions on incoming connections. Handler is typically nil, in which case the DefaultHandler is used.

Example 
package main

import (
	"io"

	"github.com/gliderlabs/ssh"
)

func main() {
	ssh.ListenAndServe(":2222", func(s ssh.Session) {
		io.WriteString(s, "Hello world\n")
	})
}

Output:

func NewAgentListener added in v0.1.1 

func NewAgentListener() (net.Listener, error)

NewAgentListener sets up a temporary Unix socket that can be communicated to the session environment and used for forwarding connections.

func Serve 

func Serve(l net.Listener, handler Handler, options ...Option) error

Serve accepts incoming SSH connections on the listener l, creating a new connection goroutine for each. The connection goroutines read requests and then calls handler to handle sessions. Handler is typically nil, in which case the DefaultHandler is used.

func SetAgentRequested added in v0.1.1 

func SetAgentRequested(ctx Context)

SetAgentRequested sets up the session context so that AgentRequested returns true.

Types

type ChannelHandler added in v0.2.0 

type ChannelHandler func(srv *Server, conn *gossh.ServerConn, newChan gossh.NewChannel, ctx Context)

type Context added in v0.1.1 

type Context interface {
	context.Context
	sync.Locker

	// User returns the username used when establishing the SSH connection.

	// SetValue allows you to easily write new values into the underlying context.
	SetValue(key, value interface{})
}

Context is a package specific context interface. It exposes connection metadata and allows new values to be easily written to it. It's used in authentication handlers and callbacks, and its underlying context.Context is exposed on Session in the session Handler. A connection-scoped lock is also embedded in the context to make it easier to limit operations per-connection.

type ForwardedTCPHandler added in v0.2.0 

type ForwardedTCPHandler struct {
	sync.Mutex
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ForwardedTCPHandler can be enabled by creating a ForwardedTCPHandler and adding the HandleSSHRequest callback to the server's RequestHandlers under tcpip-forward and cancel-tcpip-forward.

}

Output:

func HostKeyPEM 

func HostKeyPEM(bytes []byte) Option

HostKeyPEM returns a functional option that adds HostSigners to the server from a PEM file as bytes.

Example 
package main

import (
	"github.com/gliderlabs/ssh"
)

func main() {
	ssh.ListenAndServe(":2222", nil, ssh.NoPty())
}

Output:

func PasswordAuth 

func PasswordAuth(fn PasswordHandler) Option

PasswordAuth returns a functional option that sets PasswordHandler on the server.

Example 
package main

import (
	"github.com/gliderlabs/ssh"
)

SetOption runs a functional option against the server.

func (*Server) Shutdown added in v0.1.1 

func (srv *Server) Shutdown(ctx context.Context) error

	// which considers quoting not just whitespace.
	Command() []string

	// RawCommand returns the exact command that was provided by the user.
	RawCommand() string

	// Subsystem returns the subsystem requested by the user.
	Subsystem() string

	// PublicKey returns the PublicKey used to authenticate. If a public key was not
	// used it will return nil.
	PublicKey() PublicKey

	// Context returns the connection's context. The returned context is always
	// non-nil and holds the same data as the Context passed into auth
	// handlers and callbacks.
	//
	// The context is canceled when the client's connection closes or I/O
	// operation fails.
	Context() context.Context

	// Permissions returns a copy of the Permissions object that was available for
	// setup in the auth handlers via the Context.
	Permissions() Permissions

	// Pty returns PTY information, a channel of window size changes, and a boolean
	// of whether or not a PTY was accepted for this session.
	Pty() (Pty, <-chan Window, bool)

	// Signals registers a channel to receive signals sent from the client. The
	// channel must handle signal sends or it will block the SSH request loop.
	// Registering nil will unregister the channel from signal sends. During the
	// time no channel is registered signals are buffered up to a reasonable amount.
	// If there are buffered signals when a channel is registered, they will be
	// sent in order on the channel immediately after registering.
	Signals(c chan<- Signal)

	// Break regisers a channel to receive notifications of break requests sent
	// from the client. The channel must handle break requests, or it will block
	// the request handling loop. Registering nil will unregister the channel.
	// During the time that no channel is registered, breaks are ignored.
	Break(c chan<- bool)
}

Session provides access to information about an SSH session and methods to read and write to the SSH channel with an embedded Channel interface from cypto/ssh.

When Command() returns an empty slice, the user requested a shell. Otherwise the user is performing an exec with those command arguments.
