Tabby and custom ssh config files #7323

Open RanceH opened 2 years ago

RanceH commented 2 years ago

Brand new Tabby user here, downloaded latest version and installed on my Mac OS 12.6 Monterey laptop for testing.

I seem to be having an issue with profiles imported from my ~/.ssh/config file.

Background

I have in my .ssh/config file each host that I normally connect with listed multiple times with different alias names to compensate for being remote or local to the box that I am ssh-ing into.

Example config:

Host homeproxy Hostname fqdn

Host *.home ProxyJump homeproxy

Host desk Hostname desk.private

Host desk.home HostName desk.private

The theory here is that if I'm at home I can directly connect to the box desk, as I'm on its network already, but if I'm at the office, I have to use the proxy jump, so all I have to do is ssh to desk.home and the proxy instruction is used.

Tabby discovers all these entries in my config, and lists them each as a profile option, but if you click on desk.home it doesn't connect properly cause it doesn't understand the proxy jump.

opening a conventional shell session and ssh-ing to desk.home works correctly even inside tabby.

Issues:

  1. Since the ssh stanza for *.home isn't an intended direct ssh target tabby should ignore it, but how would tabby know to do that?

  2. Tabby's built in ssh client doesn't appear to read and follow a .ssh/config file correctly.

I realize that I may be missing something, but nothing I read came close to this scenario.

Possibly a duplicate of https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby/issues/5559? The config parsing might not be supporting all of the features just yet.

RanceH commented 2 years ago

After reading the issue posted in 5559 I agree that these can be considered duplicates. Both are related to ssh config file parsing.

I don't see how to close this ticket and link it to 5559 as a duplicate so that the use cases don't get lost when the ssh config parser work is done.
