Support for Bastion / Jumphosts?

[prologic]

Can we add support for Bastion / Jumphosts?

The only thing that needs to happen is:

• Add an optional bastion { ... } block
• If bastion is defined, first dial a connection to the bastion host, get an ssh client back, then dial the actual target host.

Thank you for the suggestion! I'm not familiar with bastions. What would the bastion block need to contain? The same configuration as the current conn block?

[prologic]

Yes more or less. The same connection details like user/password + host or host + key are used to make an initial connection to a host, then with the resulting connection you make the actual connection to the host you're targeting.

The SSH library implements the Dialer and Conn interfaces.

Any progress on this feature?

Not that I am aware of. Would you be interested in looking into it and creating a PR?

Hi, does anyone have any update/workaround to handle the jump host?
