KRunner SSH ^1.0

Introduction

KRunner SSH provides a simple backend for KRunner providing SSH hosts from your .ssh/known_hosts file as search results.

Installation

Automatic installation

Simply execute the install.sh script and you are ready to go.

Manual installation

• Copy ssh-runner.desktop to ~/.local/share/kservices5
• Copy ssh-runner.service to ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/com.selfcoders.ssh-runner.service
• Replace "%{BASE_DIR}" with the path to the folder containing the runner.py in ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/com.selfcoders.ssh-runner.service
• Restart KRunner using kquitapp5 krunner

Terminal Command

As every terminal emulator has different options on how to start a new SSH session, you can specify the command to open the SSH session as arguments passed to runner.py.

The {} placeholder will be replaced by the hostname.

Examples:

• Konsole: konsole -e 'ssh {}' (default)
• Tilix: tilix -e 'ssh {}'
• GNOME Terminal: gnome-terminal -- ssh {}

Example call: /path/to/runner.py konsole -e 'ssh {}'

Usage

Open KRunner (usually Alt+F2) and search for a host listed in your known_hosts file.

Note: Make sure to disable hashing of your known_hosts file (HashKnownHOsts no in your ~/.ssh/config), otherwise SSH Runner can't find any hosts from your known_hosts file.
