Support Spatie -------------- [](#support-spatie) As Spatie is the original creator of this package, please consider [supporting them](https://spatie.be/open-source/support-us) or checkout another of their great [open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source). Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install this package via composer: ``` composer require chris-doehring/ssh ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) You can execute an SSH command like this: ``` $process = Ssh::create('user', 'example.com')->execute('your favorite command'); ``` It will return an instance of [Symfony's `Process`](https://symfony.com/doc/3.3/components/process.html). ### Getting the result of a command [](#getting-the-result-of-a-command) To check if your command ran ok ``` $process->isSuccessful(); ``` This is how you can get the output ``` $process->getOutput(); ``` ### Running multiple commands [](#running-multiple-commands) To run multiple commands pass an array to the execute method. ``` $process = Ssh::create('user', 'example.com')->execute([ 'first command', 'second command', ]); ``` ### Choosing a port [](#choosing-a-port) You can choose a port by passing it to the constructor. ``` $port = 123; Ssh::create('user', 'host', $port); ``` Alternatively you can use the `usePort` function: ``` Ssh::create('user', 'host')->usePort($port); ``` ### Specifying the private key to use [](#specifying-the-private-key-to-use) You can use `usePrivateKey` to specify a path to a private SSH key to use. ``` Ssh::create('user', 'host')->usePrivateKey('/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa'); ``` ### Disable Strict host key checking [](#disable-strict-host-key-checking) By default, strict host key checking is enabled. You can disable strict host key checking using `disableStrictHostKeyChecking`. ``` Ssh::create('user', 'host')->disableStrictHostKeyChecking(); ``` ### Uploading & downloading files and directories [](#uploading--downloading-files-and-directories) You can upload files & directories to a host using: ``` Ssh::create('user', 'host')->upload('path/to/local/file', 'path/to/host/file'); ``` Or download them: ``` Ssh::create('user', 'host')->download('path/to/host/file', 'path/to/local/file'); ``` Under the hood the process will use `scp`. ### Modifying the Symfony process [](#modifying-the-symfony-process) Behind the scenes all commands will be performed using [Symfonys `Process`](https://symfony.com/doc/3.3/components/process.html). You can configure to the `Process` by using the `configureProcess` method. Here's and example where we disable the timeout. ``` Ssh::create('user', 'host')->configureProcess(fn (Process $process) => $process->setTimeout(null)); ``` ### Immediately responding to output [](#immediately-responding-to-output) You can get notified whenever you command produces output by setting by passing a closure to `onOuput`. ``` Ssh::create('user', 'host')->onOutput(fn($type, $line) => echo $line)->execute('whoami'); ``` Whenever there is output that close will get called with two parameters: - `type`: this can be `Symfony\Component\Process\Process::OUT` for regular output and `Symfony\Component\Process\Process::ERR` for error output - `line`: the output itself Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
