aperçu
Simple command-line SSH tunnel manager that just works
historique
boring is a small Go CLI for managing SSH tunnels from a TOML file, positioned as a simpler way to keep local, remote, SOCKS, and reverse SOCKS forwards organized.
The public GitHub repository was created in September 2024, and its earliest GitHub release in the public release feed is 0.4.0 from October 2024. The official site describes it as a simple command-line SSH tunnel manager with TOML configuration, ssh_config compatibility, and automatic reconnections.
The project keeps its scope narrow: it manages tunnel definitions and process lifecycle around SSH rather than trying to replace OpenSSH or become a general VPN system.
Adoption is early and package-manager-focused. The batch input records Homebrew and Nix packaging, which is typical for a modern single-binary CLI aimed at developers who frequently need repeatable port forwards.
Because boring delegates authentication and host identity to SSH configuration, it fits into existing developer workflows without asking users to maintain a separate credential store.
Users define named tunnels in a TOML file, then use the CLI to list, open, close, and group them. The README documents local, remote, SOCKS, and socks-remote modes plus fields for host, user, identity, port, keep-alive, and grouping.
The tool reads standard SSH configuration where possible and falls back to familiar defaults such as the current user, port 22, ssh-agent, and standard identity files.
boring is package-nerd interesting because it is a deliberately small wrapper around a ubiquitous system tool: it packages as one CLI, but its real value is making OpenSSH port-forwarding state reproducible and inspectable.
Its platform-specific default config paths are a useful curation detail, since Linux follows XDG while macOS and Windows use a home-directory TOML file.
posture de sécurité
