The Glider Labs SSH server package is dope. —@bradfitz, Go team member
This Go package wraps the crypto/ssh package with a higher-level API for building SSH servers. The goal of the API was to make it as simple as using net/http, so the API is very similar:
package main
import (
"github.com/gliderlabs/ssh"
"io"
"log"
)
func main() {
ssh.Handle(func(s ssh.Session) {
io.WriteString(s, "Hello world\n")
})
log.Fatal(ssh.ListenAndServe(":2222", nil))
}
This package was built by @progrium after working on nearly a dozen projects at Glider Labs using SSH and collaborating with @shazow (known for ssh-chat).
A bunch of great examples are in the _examples
directory.
Pull requests are welcome! However, since this project is very much about API design, please submit API changes as issues to discuss before submitting PRs.
