Overview

SSHPiper is a reverse proxy for SSH. It presents a single SSH entry point and routes each incoming connection to an upstream host based on the login username, using a pluggable router. Acting as a bastion, it centralises access to a fleet of backend servers behind one gateway, with per user mapping and no changes required on the upstream hosts.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships SSHPiper hardened and fully patched, secure by default: the gateway runs as an unprivileged service and the image carries no keys or credentials at all. First boot generates every key uniquely per VM and stands up a working demo pipe so the reverse proxy is provably routing the moment it boots, with a step by step deploy guide and 24/7 support included.

Common uses

  • Single SSH entry point in front of many backend hosts
  • Bastion, gateway for routing SSH access by username
  • Central control point for auditing and managing SSH connectivity
