Lazyssh is a terminal-based, interactive SSH manager inspired by tools like lazydocker and k9s — but built for managing your fleet of servers directly from your terminal.
With lazyssh, you can quickly navigate, connect, manage, and transfer files between your local machine and any server defined in your ~/.ssh/config. No more remembering IP addresses or running long scp commands — just a clean, keyboard-driven UI.
- 📜 Read & display servers from your
~/.ssh/configin a scrollable list. - ➕ Add a new server from the UI by specifying alias, host/IP, username, port, identity file.
- ✏ Edit existing server entries directly from the UI.
- 🗑 Delete server entries safely.
- 📌 Pin / unpin servers to keep favorites at the top.
- 🏓 Ping server to check status.
- 🔍 Fuzzy search by alias, IP, or tags.
- 🖥 One‑keypress SSH into the selected server (Enter).
- 🏷 Tag servers (e.g., prod, dev, test) for quick filtering.
↕️ Sort by alias or last SSH (toggle + reverse).
- 📁 Copy files between local and servers with an easy picker UI.
- 📡 Port forwarding (local↔remote) from the UI.
- 🔑 Enhanced Key Management:
- Use default local public key (~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub or ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)
- Paste custom public keys manually
- Generate new keypairs and deploy them
- Automatically append keys to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with correct permissions
-
From source (requires Go 1.22+):
- git clone https://github.com/Adembc/lazyssh.git
- cd lazyssh
- go build -o lazyssh ./cmd
- ./lazyssh --version
-
Using make (if available):
- make build
- ./bin/lazyssh
Binary releases: if/when releases are published, download from the Releases page and place in your PATH.
lazyssh reads your SSH hosts from ~/.ssh/config. Example entry:
HostName 203.0.113.10
User ubuntu
Port 22
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
You can add/edit/delete entries from within the UI as well; lazyssh will keep things consistent.
