Use the Secure Shell protocol to execute commands on a remote server using a username and password
The SSH (password-based auth) app on Pipedream facilitates the orchestration of commands and automations on remote servers securely. With it, you can execute shell commands, manage files, and run scripts on your server as part of Pipedream workflows. This unlocks the potential for a host of automations like deploying applications, monitoring system performance, or automating backups — all triggered by events from numerous apps supported on Pipedream.
module.exports = defineComponent({
props: {
ssh_password_based_auth: {
type: "app",
app: "ssh_password_based_auth",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const SSH2Promise = require('ssh2-promise')
const {
host,
port,
username,
password,
} = this.ssh_password_based_auth.$auth
const ssh = new SSH2Promise({
host,
port,
username,
password,
})
await ssh.connect()
console.log("Connection established")
// Replace this with the command you'd like to run
const resp = await ssh.exec("whoami")
console.log(resp)
await ssh.close()
},
})
The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.
