bashhub-server

bashhub-server is a private cloud alternative for bashhub-client with some added features like regex search.

Features

• Very simple drop in replacement for bashhub.com server and easy to install and get running with existing bashhub-client and bh command.
• All the benefits of bashhub without having to send your shell history to a third-party
• Regex search
• Import old history from bashhub.com
• Quickly connect any client with access to your server bashhub-sever address/port.
• Written in Go so it's fast and is actively maintained
• Salt hashed password encryption and jwt authentication protected endpoints

Why?

I love the idea behind bashhub. Having my shell history centralized and queryable from various systems whether it be my home computer or from an ssh session on a server is great. However, even with encryption, I was a little leary of sending my shell commands to a third-party server, so bashhub-server was created.

2020/02/10 03:04:11 Listening and serving HTTP on http://0.0.0.0:8080

or on docker

$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name bashhub-server  nicksherron/bashhub-server 

Then add export BH_URL=http://localhost:8080 (or whatever you set your bashhub-server address to) to your .zshrc or .bashrc

$ echo "export BH_URL=http://localhost:8080" >> ~/.bashrc

or

$ echo "export BH_URL=http://localhost:8080" >> ~/.zshr

Thats it! Restart your shell and re-run bashhub setup.

$ $SHELL && bashhub setup

Changing default db

By default the backend db uses sqlite, with the location for each os shown below.

os	default
Unix	$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bashhub-server/data.db OR $HOME/.config/bashhub-server/data.db
Darwin	$HOME/Library/Application Support/bashhub-server/data.db
Windows	%AppData%\bashhub-server\data.db
Plan 9	$home/lib/bashhub-server/data.db

To set a different sqlite db file to use, run

$ bashhub-server --db path/to/file.db

Postgresql is also supported by bashhub-server. To use postgres specify the postgres uri in the --db flag with the following format

$ bashhub-server --db "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432?sslmode=disable"

Using Regex

bashhub-server supports regex queries sent by the bh command (bashhub-client)

Without regex

$ bh bash

bashhub setup
docker pull nicksherron/bashhub-server
bin/bashhub-server version
untar bashhub-server_v0.1.0_darwin_amd64.tar.gz
cd bashhub-server_v0.1.0_darwin_amd64
./bashhub-server version
make build && bin/bashhub-server
cd bashhub-server
brew install bashhub-server/latest/bashhub-server
bashhub-server version
bashhub-server --help

With regex

$ bh "^bash"

bashhub setup
bashhub-server version
bashhub-server --help

all commands with only 6 letters

$ bh "^[a-zA-Z]{6}$"

ggpush
goland
