Server Factory Utils

Various utils for Server Factory framework.

See the current version and version code.

SSH login without password

To enable SSH login without a password use init_ssh_access.sh script. The script will generate an SSH key and incorporate it into the remote machine.

How to use init_ssh_access.sh script

The script is accepting two parameters:

• the remote host that into which we will incorporate SSH key for access
• port for SSH access on the remote server (this parameter is optional).

Example of use:

sh init_ssh_access.sh centos8.dev.local

or

sh init_ssh_access.sh 192.168.0.101

Once the script has been executed with success you can access the remote server as a root without providing the password:

ssh centos8.dev.local

or

ssh root@192.168.0.101

Obtaining the host's IP address

To obtain an IP address based on the hostname you can use a getip.sh script.

How to use getip.sh script

The script accepts one parameter:

• Name of the host.

Example of use:

sh getip.sh google.com

or

sh getip.sh localhost

or mDNS powered host:

sh getip.sh some_machine.local

Tunneling

To create a tunnel between your machine and remote machine service you can use a tunnel.sh script.

How to use the tunnel.sh script

The script accepts two parameters:

• Port to use on localhost side (will be tunneled to the same port on the remote side)
• Remote host

Example of use:

sh tunnel.sh 35432 centos8.dev.local

or

sh tunnel.sh 35432 root@192.168.0.101

Now we can access this service locally on port 35432:

telnet 127.0.0.1 35432
