Sshwifty is a CLI tool that provides an easier way to manage SSH connections. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Sshwifty on NixOS latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following:
Sshwifty is a tool that is hosted on GitHub, so we need to install Git first to clone the repository.
To install Git on NixOS, open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo nix-env -i git
Once Git is installed, we can now clone the Sshwifty repository from GitHub.
To clone the repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nirui/sshwifty.git
This command will create a new directory named "sshwifty" that contains the source code of the tool.
To build and install Sshwifty, we can use Nix, the package manager used by NixOS.
Inside the "sshwifty" directory, run the following command:
sudo nix-env -if default.nix
This command will build and install Sshwifty.
To verify that Sshwifty is installed correctly, run the following command:
sshwifty
This command should display the Sshwifty help message, which indicates that the tool is installed properly.
That's it! You have successfully installed Sshwifty on NixOS Latest. You can now use the tool to manage your SSH connections easily.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
