Description:
geofrontcli 0.4.4
It provides a CLI client for Geofront, a simple SSH key management server.
Installation
It is available on PyPI, so you can install it using pip installer.
We, however, recommend to use pipsi instead so that geofront-cli and its
dependencies don’t make your global site-packages messy.
$ pipsi install geofront-cli
Getting started
What you have to do first of all is to configure the Geofront server URL.
Type geofront-cli start and then it will show a prompt:
$ geofront-cli start
Geofront server URL:
We suppose http://example.com/ here. It will open an authentication
page in your default web browser:
$ geofront-cli start
Geofront server URL: http://example.com/
Continue to authenticate in your web browser...
Press return to continue
List available remotes
You can list the available remotes using geofront-cli remotes command:
$ geofront-cli remotes
web-1
web-2
web-3
worker-1
worker-2
db-1
db-2
If you give -v/--verbose option it will show their actual addresses
as well:
$ geofront-cli remotes -v
web-1 ubuntu@192.168.0.5
web-2 ubuntu@192.168.0.6
web-3 ubuntu@192.168.0.7
worker-1 ubuntu@192.168.0.25
worker-2 ubuntu@192.168.0.26
db-1 ubuntu@192.168.0.50
db-2 ubuntu@192.168.0.51
SSH to remote
You can easily connect to a remote through SSH. Use geofront-cli ssh
command instead of vanilla ssh:
$ geofront-cli ssh web-1
Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-042stab078.27 i686)
* Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/
ubuntu@web-1:~$
In most cases, you probably need to list remotes to find an alias to SSH
before run geofront-cli ssh command. geofront-cli go command is
a single command for these two actions at once:
$ geofront-cli go
(...interactive fuzzy finder for remotes is shown...)

ubuntu@web-1:~$
Note that there’s a shortcut command gfg which is an alias of
geofront-cli go.
There is geofront-cli scp command as well, which is corresponding
to scp:
$ geofront-cli scp file.txt web-1:file.txt
file.txt 100% 3157 3.1KB/s 00:00
$ geofront-cli scp -r web-1:path/etc/apt ./
sources.list 100% 3157 3.1KB/s 00:00
trusted.gpg 100% 14KB 13.9KB/s 00:00
Missing features
Shortcut for geofront-cli ssh command
Make geofront-cli ssh similar to ssh
