susshi 🍣

susshi is a terminal-based SSH connection manager written in Rust — hierarchical YAML inventory, Catppuccin-themed TUI, jump hosts, Wallix bastions, tunnels, and SCP in one place.

Why susshi?

Managing dozens or hundreds of hosts with a single ~/.ssh/config quickly becomes fragile: no centralized visibility, no interactive interface, limited grouping, and poor ergonomics for day-to-day tasks.

susshi addresses these gaps:

  • Ergonomics & speed — fuzzy search, keyboard-driven navigation, one-key connect. No editing files and re-running commands.
  • Infrastructure visibility — hierarchical groups, favorites, tag filters, interactive inventory at a glance.
  • Bastion & multi-hop workflows — automatic orchestration of jump hops and Wallix integration without repetitive ssh_config entries.
  • Inventory management — variable inheritance, environment profiles, YAML includes, and exports to Ansible/Terraform/Nmap/CSV.
  • Built-in operations — tunnels, SCP, pre/post-connect hooks, --validate checks.
  • Security & privacy — local-first, no cloud dependency, no telemetry.
