Use the Secure Shell protocol to execute commands on a remote server using a private key
Executes a command on a remote device. See SSH lib docs here
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
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.
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()
},
})
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:
// 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
},
})
