Dynamically generate ssh_config files on mobile devices.
ssh-autoconfig aims to help mobile users (i.e. with laptops) adapt their ssh-config files for different locations. You can specify zones with different config parts which will then be assembled into one large ssh-config file whenever the network settings change and these zones become active. See the source code for more info.
- Python 3.5
- Optional: NetworkManager (

First, modify the files zones_user.py and the files in ssh_config_parts to suit your needs. There are examples to help you write your own zones and config file parts. Remember that for ssh_config, directives can override each other. So, if you specify a ProxyCommand in a specialized zone file and use a default ProxyCommand in the common file, the default will only be used if the zone does not match the current network settings.
After adapting the files to your needs, simply execute make install as root and be happy. You can manually trigger ssh-autoconfig from the command line or wait until NetworkManager (or anything else) calls the installed hooks.
Simply execute make uninstall.
Before installing a new version, you might want to uninstall the old version using the old Makefile and source checkout. New Makefiles might include different script names or files and fail to clean up files from old installations. Note that you can always revert your repository to a previous commit, uninstall the old version using its Makefile and then install the new version.
