Khanik is a Go-based tool for managing SSH tunnels (referred to as "surangs"). It provides a daemon that automatically starts, monitors, and restarts SSH tunnels based on a configuration file.
- Daemon-based management of SSH tunnels
- Automatic restart of failed tunnels
- IP verification for each tunnel
- Easy-to-use CLI commands
To download Khanik (a single executable) do:
gh release download 0.0.4 -R Donnie/khanik
chmod +x khanik-macos-arm64
mv khanik-macos-arm64 /usr/local/bin/khanik
which khanik
khanik version
Create a config.yaml file in a directory. Here's an example configuration:
surangs:
home:
command: "[email protected]"
expect_ip: "203.0.113.1"
port: 8080
office:
command: "[email protected]"
expect_ip: "203.0.113.2"
port: 8081Khanik provides the following commands:
khanik start: Start the surang manager daemonkhanik stop: Stop the surang manager daemonkhanik list: List all configured surangs and their statuskhanik version: Display the version of Khanik
Start the daemon:
khanik start
List all surangs:
khanik list
Stop the daemon:
khanik stop
Khanik uses SSH's built-in SOCKS proxy functionality to create tunnels. The daemon periodically checks each configured tunnel to ensure it's running and functioning correctly. If a tunnel fails, Khanik automatically attempts to restart it.
