tmate -- Instantly Share Your Terminal Session To Anyone In Seconds
|
||
=================
|
||
|
||
A while ago, we wrote about
|
||
[teleconsole](https://www.2daygeek.com/teleconsole-share-terminal-session-instantly-to-anyone-in-seconds/)
|
||
which is used to share terminal instantly to anyone (whoever you trusting). Today also we are going to discuss about same kind of
|
||
application called tmate.
|
||
|
||
Why you want tmate application? this will help you to get help from your
|
||
friends when you need.
|
||
|
||
### What Is tmate?
|
||
|
||
[tmate](https://tmate.io/) stands for teammates, it's a fork of tmux,
|
||
and uses the same configurations such as keybindings, color schemes etc.
|
||
It's a terminal multiplexer with instant terminal sharing. it enables a
|
||
number of terminals to be created, accessed, and controlled from a
|
||
single screen, that can be shared with another mates.
|
||
|
||
You can detach the session by leaving the job running in background and
|
||
re-attach the session when you want to view the status. tmate provides
|
||
an instant pairing solution, allowing you to share a terminal with one
|
||
or several teammates.
|
||
|
||
A status line at the bottom of the screen shows information on the
|
||
current session, such as ssh command to share with your mate.
|
||
|
||
### How tmate works?
|
||
|
||
- When launching tmate, an ssh connection is established to tmate.io
|
||
(backend servers maintained by tmate developers) in the background
|
||
through libssh.
|
||
- The server (tmate.io) ssh key signatures are verified during the DH
|
||
exchange.
|
||
- The client is authenticated with local ssh keys.
|
||
- Once connection is established, a 150 bits (non guessable random
|
||
characters) session token is generated by local tmux server.
|
||
- teammates can connect to tmate.io using the SSH session ID provided
|
||
by user
|
||
|
||
### Prerequisites for tmate
|
||
|
||
Generate SSH key as a prerequisites since tmate.io server authenticate
|
||
client machine through local ssh keys. Make a note, every system should
|
||
have SSH key.
|
||
```shell
|
||
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
|
||
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
|
||
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/magi/.ssh/id_rsa):
|
||
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
|
||
Enter same passphrase again:
|
||
Your identification has been saved in /home/magi/.ssh/id_rsa.
|
||
Your public key has been saved in /home/magi/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
|
||
The key fingerprint is:
|
||
SHA256:3ima5FuwKbWyyyNrlR/DeBucoyRfdOtlUmb5D214NC8 [email protected]
|
||
The key's randomart image is:
|
||
+---[RSA 2048]----+
|
||
| |
|
||
| |
|
||
| . |
|
||
| . . = o |
|
||
| *ooS= . + o |
|
||
| . [email protected]*o.o.+ E .|
|
||
| =o==B++o = . |
|
||
| o.+*o+.. . |
|
||
| ..o+o=. |
|
||
+----[SHA256]-----+
|
||
```
