Background

Tpot is a simple tsh teleport wrapper. Currently, we are not able to get list of available node in tsh. Usually, to get the list of nodes we need to go through teleport web ui then creating an alias to accessible through tsh. This make you're able to get list of nodes from Terminal, pick one then login to the node by tsh.

Feature

Support multiple environment
Browsing the node list and search it
You're able to get the node list from a cache or fresh from the teleport server

How does it work

this tool simply store the proxy environment under your $HOME/.tpot/ directory. whenever you try to get the node list it'll ask the teleport server to give the latest node list. Once, we got it, it'll store in the configuration file for caching purpose.

Usage

Before use this tools you need to add proxy configuration first by run this command

tpot -c --add

It'll prompt your config editor, by default it'll use nano

Environment is an identifier for your proxy config, eg. staging and prod
Proxy address is a valid proxy address in http protocol, eg. https://teleport.myport.com:3080
User name ia a user name used for teleport login. eg. adzimzf
Auth Connector ia a 3rd party auth connector for SSO. eg. gsuite
Need 2Fa does the proxy need 2FA or not. eg true or false

you can change the default editor by running this command

tpot -c --edit

tpot --config --edit

if the configuration installed successfully you can start use tpot by running this command

tpot staging

tpot staging -a

will get the node from the server then append to the cache, or

tpot staging -r

When the list of node shows, you can navigate by RIGHT, LEFT, UP and DOWN. For searching the node, you can type the node name then hit TAB. Hit ENTER to select the node and login.

to get the node server instead of cache. if it gives you an error Permision denied, you can manually add tpot config dir by running this command

mkdir $HOME/.tpot

with 775 permission, then you can re-add the configuration

That's all hope you find your need
