[https://mosh.org/ Mosh] is an alternative SSH terminal. It has support for roaming, local echo and uses UDP for transport. It also aims to improve responsiveness on intermittent, and high latency connections. | |||
See the [https://search.nixos.org/packages?show=mosh&query=mosh mosh Package] and [https://search.nixos.org/options?query=programs.mosh mosh Options] | |||
== Instalation == | |||
=== Client === | |||
Install the <code>[https://search.nixos.org/packages?show=mosh&query=mosh mosh]</code> package. | |||
=== Server === | |||
Enable the <code>[https://search.nixos.org/options?query=programs.mosh programs.mosh]</code> module. You can simply add the following into your <code>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</code>: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang=nix> | |||
# Enable mosh, the ssh alternative when client has bad connection | |||
# Opens UDP ports 60000 ... 61000 | |||
programs.mosh.enable = true; | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
== Usage == | |||
With mosh installed on both the client and server, connect by running: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang=console> | |||
$ mosh user@server | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Note that mosh uses SSH for authentication and initialization, so it will respect aliases and other options in <code>.ssh/config</code>. You can also specify SSH options using the <code>--ssh</code> argument. For example, to use port 1122 instead of 22, you can either use <code>Port 1122</code> in SSH config, or use mosh with the <code>--ssh</code> argument: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang=console> | |||
$ mosh --ssh='ssh -p 1122' user@server | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
More information is available at [https://mosh.org/#usage mosh.org] or using <code>[https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/mosh/mosh.1.en.html man mosh]</code> | |||
