Wish
A Go library for building SSH applications with middleware support, making it easy to create secure, terminal-accessible apps.
What is Wish?
Wish is an SSH server library written in Go that simplifies building custom SSH applications beyond traditional shell access. It provides a secure framework for creating remotely accessible tools like Git servers, terminal user interfaces (TUIs), and other network services over SSH, leveraging SSH's built-in authentication and encryption.
Go developers building secure network applications that need SSH-based access, such as custom Git servers, interactive terminal applications, or specialized remote administration tools. It's particularly useful for developers who want to avoid the complexity of HTTPS certificates while maintaining secure communication.
Developers choose Wish for its middleware architecture that simplifies SSH server development, similar to HTTP frameworks, and its native integration with Bubble Tea for building TUIs over SSH. It offers sensible defaults, automatic server key generation, and modular components for access control, logging, and protocol support without requiring OpenSSH.
