# Dosh
|
|
|
|
Dosh is a fast encrypted remote terminal. It keeps the good parts of SSH and
|
|
Mosh for day-to-day shell work: quick attach, roaming over UDP, reconnect after
|
|
network changes, persistent server-side terminals, optional predictive typing,
|
|
and TCP forwarding.
|
|
|
|
Dosh uses SSH-compatible bootstrap for first setup and can use its native
|
|
cached attach path after trust is established. The goal is simple: type
|
|
`dosh my-server` and land in a usable terminal about as fast as the network can
|
|
allow, then keep that terminal alive when Wi-Fi, sleep, or the client process
|
|
gets messy.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
- Clients: macOS, Linux, and Windows.
|
|
- Server: Unix-like hosts with PTY support.
|
|
- Windows: client-only; install with PowerShell and connect to a Unix Dosh
|
|
server.
|
|
- Security: encrypted transport, pinned Dosh host keys, replay-resistant attach
|
|
tickets, and SSH fallback for bootstrap/recovery.
|
|
- Not included: X11 forwarding, SFTP/SCP replacement, or a Windows server.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Unix/macOS server or client:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fsSL https://git.palav.dev/Palav/dosh/raw/branch/main/install.sh | sh -s -- both --repo https://git.palav.dev/Palav/dosh.git --port 50000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Unix/macOS client only:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fsSL https://git.palav.dev/Palav/dosh/raw/branch/main/install.sh | sh -s -- client --repo https://git.palav.dev/Palav/dosh.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Windows client:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
irm https://git.palav.dev/Palav/dosh/raw/branch/main/install.ps1 | iex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The installers prefer release binaries and fall back to a source build when
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
|
|
Set up a host from your SSH config:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dosh setup my-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Connect:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dosh my-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run a command on connect:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dosh my-server tm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check the install and network path:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dosh doctor my-server
|
|
dosh selftest my-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Repair local cached attach state without changing host trust:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dosh recover my-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Update:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dosh update
|
|
dosh update --check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Forwarding
|
|
|
|
Local forward:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dosh forward my-server -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Dynamic SOCKS forward:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dosh forward my-server -D 1080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remote forward:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dosh forward my-server -R 2222:127.0.0.1:22
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Agent forwarding is opt-in with `-A` and must also be allowed by the server.
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
Client config lives at:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
~/.config/dosh/client.toml
|
|
~/.config/dosh/hosts.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Server config lives at:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
~/.config/dosh/server.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Useful client defaults:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
default_session = "new"
|
|
auth_preference = "native,ssh"
|
|
predict = true
|
|
predict_mode = "experimental"
|
|
cache_attach_tickets = true
|
|
disconnect_status = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
Build and test:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cargo test
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the terminal/TUI regression harness:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make tui-harness
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Package release artifacts:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sh scripts/package-release.sh
|
|
```
