Ssh tunneling for nodejs

A ssh tunneling client based on ssh2, which can do command executing and port forwarding.

Installation

npm i ssh-tunneling

Features

  • ✨ connection keep-alive: Keeping the ssh connection alive whenever you use it.
  • ✨ port forwarding: Ssh tunneling port forward even behind a hopping server,such as a socks server.
  • ✨ port checking and finding: The client will automatically find a available local port to forward when the port is using.
  • ✨ command executing: Execute linux commands.

API

new SshTunnel(config)

options

  • host: <required> ssh ip
  • port: <required> ssh port
  • username: <required> ssh user name
  • privateKey: [optional] ssh private key
  • password: [optional] ssh password
  • hoppingServer: [optional] Currently it just supports the socks4 or socks5 server,such as 'socks5:https://180.80.80.80:1080' or 'socks4:https://180.80.80.80:1080'
import { SshTunnel } from 'ssh-tunneling';
import type { SshConfig } from 'ssh-tunneling';

const sshConfig: SshConfig = {
  host: '192.168.1.1',
  port: 22,
  username: 'myUsername',
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/myPrivateKey'),
};
const client = new SshTunnel(sshConfig);

or establish a connection behind a socks5 server

import { SshTunnel } from 'ssh-tunneling';
import type { SshConfig } from 'ssh-tunneling';

const sshConfig: SshConfig = {
  host: '192.168.1.1',
  port: 22,
  username: 'myUsername',
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/myPrivateKey'),
  // or password
  // password: 'myPassword',
  hoppingServer: 'socks:https://180.80.80.80:1080'
};
const client = new SshTunnel(sshConfig);

forwardOut

Forward local port to remote port.

import { SshTunnel } from 'ssh-tunneling';
import type { SshConfig } from 'ssh-tunneling';

const sshConfig: SshConfig = {
  host: '192.168.1.1',
  port: 22,
  username: 'myUsername',
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/myPrivateKey'),
};
const client = new SshTunnel(sshConfig);
const forwardInfo1 = client.forwardOut('3000:192.168.1.1:3000');
console.log(forwardInfo1);
// { localPort: 3000, destPort: 3000, destHost: '192.168.1.1', id: '3000:192.168.1.1:3000', type: 'out' }
// or passing an id, it'll use that id.
const forwardInfo2 = await client.forwardOut({
  id: 'my-id',
  proxy: '3001:192.168.1.1:3000'
});
console.log(forwardInfo2);
// { localPort: 3000, destPort: 3000, destHost: '192.168.1.1', id: 'my-id', type: 'out' }

If the local port is occupied, it will choose a idle local port to listen and return the info in result.

import { SshTunnel } from 'ssh-tunneling';
import type { SshConfig } from 'ssh-tunneling';

const sshConfig: SshConfig = {
  host: '192.168.1.1',
  port: 22,
  username: 'myUsername',
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/myPrivateKey'),
};
const client = new SshTunnel(sshConfig);
const forwardInfo1 = client.forwardOut('3000:192.168.1.1:3000');
const forwardInfo2 = client.forwardOut('3000:192.168.1.1:3000');
console.log(forwardInfo1);
// port 3000 is idle
// { localPort: 3000, destPort: 3000, destHost: '192.168.1.1', id: '3000:192.168.1.1:3000', type: 'out' }
console.log(forwardInfo2);
// port 3000 is using, so it use another idle port 3001
// { localPort: 3001, destPort: 3000, destHost: '192.168.1.1', id: '3000:192.168.1.1:3000', type: 'out' }

Also, you can pass an array to forward multiple ports and it will return the result array too.

import { SshTunnel } from 'ssh-tunneling';
import type { SshConfig } from 'ssh-tunneling';

const sshConfig: SshConfig = {
  host: '192.168.1.1',
  port: 22,
  username: 'myUsername',
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/myPrivateKey'),
};
const client = new SshTunnel(sshConfig);
const forwardInfo1 = client.forwardOut(['3000:192.168.1.1:3000', '3001:192.168.1.1:3001']);
console.log(forwardInfo1);
// [
//   { localPort: 3000, destPort: 3000, destHost: '192.168.1.1', id: '3000:192.168.1.1:3000', type: 'out' },
//   { localPort: 3001, destPort: 3001, destHost: '192.168.1.1', id: '3001:192.168.1.1:3001', type: 'out' },
// ]

// or passing an id and it'll use that id
const forwardInfo2 = client.forwardOut([
  {
    id: 'my-id-1',
    proxy: '3000:192.168.1.1:3000'
  },
  {
    id: 'my-id-2',
    proxy: '3001:192.168.1.1:3000'
  }
]);
console.log(forwardInfo2);
// [
//   { localPort: 3000, destPort: 3000, destHost: '192.168.1.1', id: 'my-id-1', type: 'out' },
//   { localPort: 3001, destPort: 3001, destHost: '192.168.1.1', id: 'my-id-2', type: 'out' },
// ]

exec

import { SshTunnel } from 'ssh-tunneling';
import type { SshConfig } from 'ssh-tunneling';

const sshConfig: SshConfig = {
  host: '192.168.1.1',
  port: 22,
  username: 'myUsername',
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/myPrivateKey'),
};
const client = new SshTunnel(sshConfig);
// execute echo command
const echo = await client.exec('echo 1');
console.log(echo); 
// 1
// Also, if passing a command array, it will execute every commands one time and return by order
const batchEcho = await sshTunnel.exec([
  'echo 1',
  'echo 2',
  'echo 3'
]);
// batchEcho: [{ command: 'echo 1', result: '1' }, { command: 'echo 2', result: '2' }, { command: 'echo 3', result: '3' }]

close

Since the ssh connection is established, it can be closed manualy.

  • close one server close(serverKey)
  • close all server close()
import { SshTunnel } from 'ssh-tunneling';
import type { SshConfig } from 'ssh-tunneling';

const sshConfig: SshConfig = {
  host: '192.168.1.1',
  port: 22,
  username: 'myUsername',
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/myPrivateKey'),
};
const client = new SshTunnel(sshConfig);
// execute echo command
const echo = await client.exec('echo 1');
const forwardInfo = client.forwardOut(['3000:192.168.1.1:3000', '3001:192.168.1.1:3001']);
// close one proxy server
client.close(forwardInfo[0].id);
// close all proxy server
client.close();

Examples

Simple ssh port forwarding out

An example that fowarding port 3000 to 192.168.1.1:3000 through a ssh tunnel.
The original ssh command is ssh -L 3000:192.168.1.1:3000 -i ~/.ssh/myPrivateKey [email protected]

import { SshTunnel } from 'ssh-tunneling';
import type { SshConfig } from 'ssh-tunneling';

const sshConfig: SshConfig = {
  host: '192.168.1.1',
  port: 22,
  username: 'myUsername',
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/myPrivateKey'),
};
const client = new SshTunnel(sshConfig);
const forwardInfo = await client.forwardOut('3000:192.168.1.1:3000');
// { localPort: 3000, destHost: '192.168.1.1', destPort: 3000, id: '3000:192.168.1.1:3000', type: 'out' }

Ssh port forwarding through a socks5 server

An example that fowarding port 3000 to 192.168.1.1:3000 through a ssh tunnel which only can be connect through a sock5 server.
The original ssh command is ssh -o ProxyCommand="nc -X 5 -x 180.80.80.80:1080 %h %p" -L 3000:192.168.1.1:3000 -i ~/.ssh/myPrivateKey [email protected]

import { SshTunnel } from 'ssh-tunneling';
import type { SshConfig } from 'ssh-tunneling';

const sshConfig: SshConfig = {
  host: '192.168.1.1',
  port: 22,
  username: 'myUsername',
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/myPrivateKey'),
  hoppingServer: 'socks5:https://180.80.80.80:1080',
};
const client = new SshTunnel(sshConfig);
const forwardInfo = await client.forwardOut('3000:192.168.1.1:3000');
// { localPort: 3000, destHost: '192.168.1.1', destPort: 3000, id: '3000:192.168.1.1:3000', type: 'out' }

Commands executing

import { SshTunnel } from 'ssh-tunneling';
import type { SshConfig } from 'ssh-tunneling';

const sshConfig: SshConfig = {
