Install

This project was built using python 3.5.2 and using pybuilder: http://pybuilder.github.io/

1. clone the repo
2. pip install pybuilder
3. pyb install_dependencies install

Quick start

Make sure you have aws credentials set in the usual way, for example

in ~/.aws/credentials put:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET

and in ~/.aws/config put:

[default]
region=us-east-1

For multiple ssh sessions ash uses cssh, tmux-cssh or i2cssh and it defaults to cssh

If you're using iTerm

this will integrate with iTerm's split panel ability to open several ssh sessions

gem install i2cssh

If you're on a mac and not using iTerm you can install tmux-cssh with brew install tmux-cssh

Now just run ash

Usage

usage: ash [-h] [--completions COMPLETIONS] [--refresh_inventory]
           [--install_cron minutes]
           [name]

positional arguments:
  name

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --refresh_inventory
  --install_cron minutes

To create a local ec2 inventory

ash --refresh_inventory

To install a cron job that refreshes the local ec2 inventory every 10 minutes

ash --install_cron 10

It has some settings saved as an ini file in ~/.ashconfig and it looks like this:

[SSH]
ssh_username = ubuntu
ssh_mux = tmux-cssh

it supports:

ssh_username - default username to use
ssh_mux - one of cssh/tmux-cssh/i2cssh
ssh_identity_file - default identity file to use (I suggest using ssh-agent though)
