Cloud Shell

Get a shell running in the cloud in seconds

Installation

$ gem install closh

Alternatively you can build the gem from its repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/vinc/closh.git
$ cd closh
$ gem build closh.gemspec
$ gem install closh-0.0.1.gem

Usage

Run a command in the cloud:

$ closh -x "cut -d . -f 1 /proc/uptime"
23

More verbose:

$ closh -vx "cut -d . -f 1 /proc/uptime"
debug: uploading SSH public key to AWS ...
debug: creating server on AWS ...
debug: connecting to 'ubuntu@158.116.77.89' ...
debug: executing command 'cut -d . -f 1 /proc/uptime' ...
23
debug: destroying server ...

Pipe to stdin:

$ echo "cut -d . -f 1 /proc/uptime" | closh -x "bash -s"

Run a script remotely:

$ closh -x "bash -s" < example.sh

Skip the -x flag to keep a session alive for long running scripts.

Use -l to list sessions and -r to resume one:

$ closh -r 158.116.77.89 "tail -f screenlog.0"

More options:

$ closh -h
Usage: closh <command>

Configure

Cloud Shell is based on Fog under the hood to create compute servers.

The configuration is stored in a YAML file (~/.closh.yml). It is divided in two parts: compute and server. The former being fed to Fog::Compute.new and the latter to Fog::Compute::*::Server.new.

---

compute:
  provider: AWS
  aws_access_key_id: <%= ENV["AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"] %>
  aws_secret_access_key: <%= ENV["AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"] %>
  region: us-east-1

server:
  image_id: ami-b04847cf # Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  flavor_id: t2.micro
  username: ubuntu
  groups:
    - default
    - ssh
