SSH Tunnels? #12

Closed martinklepsch closed 10 years ago

martinklepsch commented 10 years ago

Just thinking that tunneling ports might be useful:

overcast tunnel 7733:instance.01:4567

to allow users to access port 4567 on the remote machine as if it is port 7733 on their machine.

What do you think?

andrewchilds commented 10 years ago

Yeah, that could be nice to have. The signature could be more consistent with other commands though - look alright to you?

# Signature
overcast tunnel [instance] [local-port:remote-port...]

# Example
overcast tunnel instance.01 7733:4567 12345:67890

There is a difference between:

-L 4242:127.0.0.1:42042

and 

-L 4242:actualhostname:42042 -N

I wonder how that could be handled? Maybe it's fine to assume that the localhost version is wanted? (other than that I like the signature you suggested)

andrewchilds commented 10 years ago

Ah, right. We could allow for that like so:

overcast tunnel instance.01 7733:4567 12345:otherhost:67890

So if otherhost is missing, we could (safely) assume 127.0.0.1. Sound good?

Sounds solid!
