SSH dotnet

README

Just an example of running an ssh command on a remote server.

PK file needs to come from somewhere -- I think ideally Secret Vault but also base64 encoded secret would be a good choice. 

Library used is https://www.nuget.org/packages/SSH.NET

test.cs

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Renci.SshNet;

namespace farm_ssh.Controllers;

[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class FarmController : ControllerBase
{
    private readonly ILogger<FarmController> _logger;

    public FarmController(ILogger<FarmController> logger)
    {
        _logger = logger;
    }

    [HttpGet(Name = "GetHome")]
    public IEnumerable<string> Get()
    {
        var pkFile = new PrivateKeyFile("./remote-api-auth.pk");
        // get list of file in home directory
        using (var client = new SshClient("remoteurl.com", "remote-api", pkFile))
        {
            client.Connect();
            var result = client.RunCommand("ls -l");
            client.Disconnect();
            return result.Result.Split('\n');
        }
    }
}
