Add Mosh #45

Open geoffreyd opened 10 years ago

Mosh makes remote logins much more robust and reliable, with support for changing IP's, reduces lag (by intelligently updating the local screen immediately).

Build instructions: http://mosh.mit.edu/#build-instructions

While it is possible to install mosh server into a users home directory, it is easier to use, if it's installed in a system path.

AFAIK right now mosh works on Nitrous.IO boxes only through SSH tunnels. Were you able to get it working?

gerbal commented 10 years ago

:+1: to this. I do a lot of remoting into my nitrous box on crappy connections. mosh installed at a system level would make my life easier.

jeffjewiss commented 10 years ago

I'm also very interested in having mosh added.

I tried to set it up locally as an autoparts package, but I couldn't configure protoc/protobuf properly so it failed to compile.

Would it be possible to get some help debugging this so it could be added as a package?

gerbal commented 10 years ago

I was able to get Mosh compiled and running, but I wasn't able to connect to the mosh instance on Nitrous box. I ran into problems with Mosh needing to open UDP ports to talk back to my client, something Nitrous is not configured for.

I have complied the mosh on user path.But cannot login from juicessh "mosh" type. How to solve ?

ghost commented 10 years ago

Mosh is a great tool.I have installed mosh and mosh-server on nitrous.io. But when i connect from my pc to nitrous.io .

mosh did not make a successful connection to 54.215.6.163:60001.
Please verify that UDP port 60001 is not firewalled and can reach the server.

(By default, mosh uses a UDP port between 60000 and 61000. The -p option
selects a specific UDP port number.)

[mosh is exiting.]

It looks like Nitrous restricts udp ports being exposed to the outside world. sudoer privileges seem to be required to open up a udp port. We likely need Nitrous.io engineer intervention to progress Mosh support further.

I'd also like to see Mosh support. Mosh over SSH is not nearly as useful.
