Integrate the SSH (key-based auth) API with the Node API

Setup the SSH (key-based auth) API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Node API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate SSH (key-based auth) and Node remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of SSH (key-based auth)#

The SSH (Secure Shell) key-based authentication API allows you to execute commands on a remote server securely. With Pipedream, leverage this capability to automate server management tasks, execute deployment scripts, or gather data from your server infrastructure. By integrating with other apps on Pipedream, you can create seamless workflows that trigger actions on your servers in response to various events.

Connect SSH (key-based auth)#

module.exports = defineComponent({
  props: {
    ssh: {
      type: "app",
      app: "ssh",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const SSH2Promise = require('ssh2-promise')
    
    const { 
      host, 
      port,
      username, 
      privateKey,
    } = this.ssh.$auth
    
    const ssh = new SSH2Promise({
      host,
      port,
      username,
      privateKey,
    })
    
    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()
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
