tmate & tmate-slave #19
Description
Activity
Something like this might be around the corner when trying to compile:
tmate-io/tmate-ssh-server#20Does this add anything compared to a shared tmux session? My only concern is that they're behind upstream by a few releases now and haven't committed anything in over a year. It's not clear exactly what it provides compared to just using tmux.
tmate provides an easy way to share terminal session as Read-Only or Read-Write, ie. for providing remote debugging access to 3rd party during troubleshooting etc.
As an example: http://tmate.ip.fi/
$ tmate show-messages Tue Aug 22 22:34:35 2017 [tmate] Connecting to tmate.ip.fi... Tue Aug 22 22:34:35 2017 [tmate] Note: clear your terminal before sharing readonly access Tue Aug 22 22:34:35 2017 [tmate] ssh session read only: ssh [email protected] Tue Aug 22 22:34:35 2017 [tmate] ssh session: ssh [email protected]The remote party connecting to the session through tmate server doesn't need anything else than SSH client and username+host provided from tmate session - no client or whatsoever to install.
tmate added in NetBSD@4942ff0

on Nov 30, 2017 @jperkin Able to add tmate-slave eventually so it would be possible to host your own tmate server?
Yeh, I'm not going to get to this before 2017Q4 though unfortunately.
No hurry, if it's available during 2018 that's alright 👍

pkgsrc should provide tmate and tmate-slave.
tmate is basically like Teamviewer but for SSH connections.
