Tell HN: iOS has built in Siri voice commands to run any SSH script

32 points by 35mm 4y ago

You can create a voice command using the built in Shortcuts app, which will run an arbitrary SSH script on a remote server. Key based auth is supported. Just discovered this today and thought I’d share.

The ssh shortcut can also be used from the iOS share sheet, e.g. to send a URL, file or selected text to a script on a local/remote server.

Do you have a link to the recipe you used to make the Shortcut?

  No but it’s fairly straightforward, you need to create a new shortcut and then add ‘Run script over SSH’ as the action

    Is this possible without enabling “sound recognition” (always-on Siri)? That’s the only relevant condition I see available under Shortcuts > Automations.

So what script are you running ?

Cool, do you have a demo? I think it would be funny to hear someone speak out shell commands using this.

I just noticed this last week myself, super cool. I have a small script I wanted to run on a local raspberry pi and this worked great

I'm using it to open new file or save a file on photoshop https://umtksa.github.io/ssh-photoshop https://umtksa.github.io/ssh-photoshop

Such a shame. I can’t even get this iPhone to automatically upload videos to iCloud using Apple Script. Use example: set the script to do a record button, upload, and forget.
