Yeah feel free to open a feature request on GitHub, that way I can keep track easier. You can also make my life much easier if you provide more details on how exactly such an integration could work. Because in practice, many requested integ

You will own a lifetime license for the software if you choose the lifetime plan. Everyone has seen it in practice that some companies try to pull a bait and switch by then changing the terms of licenses or simply shutting down the servers

Yeah things like Okta are planned to be supported in the long term. Just need to prioritize the different integrations as there are so much tools I can still add support for. And every single integration presents its unique challenges, so t

The idea behind that is that people usually don't run RHEL for fun, there is mostly a business need for that. Especially since there are distros like Alma Linux out there, which you can use with XPipe for free.

Alright that is good feedback. I haven't actually thought about this, but it would also make sense when a user updates their config hosts in general. There is a refresh button for the config, but that one also does not reload everythin

You can go to Settings -> Synchronization and enable the remote git repository sync. If your team members synchronize with the same remote repository, this should effectively allow for a team collaboration.

I think it's good to be aware that there is a lot of bad tutorials/libraries for JavaFX out there. Also many StackOverflow answers are quite outdated as the popularity hit a peak like a decade ago. Also don't use FXML (the we

If you want to keep using emacs, there is the possibility to launch any custom editor in xpipe via a command. You could use emacs as your primary editor with it.

Thanks for your feedback. To answer your questions: 3. Making the source available would technically be possible, but I would have to consult with a lawyer for that first on how such a thing would be implemented. But I can definitely see th

I'm not deeply familiar with the vscode internals but figured that they were doing something similar as many issues and error messages that were thrown by shells and various programs led me to some vscode issue with the same problem ma

Well it is open-core on GitHub right now. I think full open source is going to be difficult if you're trying to sell it. At least in the desktop application space with no account setup or other service dependency it's complicated

On a fundamental level, the difference is that winscp is based on certain protocols like SFTP and ships their own SSH implementation for that. XPipe uses your existing ssh CLI client to accomplish the same thing instead. This makes it more

Interesting, have not heard of that before. But yes, it is definitely similar in some aspects to that.

I pushed an update that fixes this issue on macOS. It seems like someone at apple thought that having mdfind always return 0 even if I didn't find anything was a good idea.

by crschnick 2y ago
So I released an update that should hopefully fix / tweak this behavior. I think to apply you would need to remove the config entry in xpipe and search for it again.

It supports creating and enabling SSH tunnels to forwards ports, i.e. local, remote, and dynamic port forwarding.

Oh that seems like a bug on my end, on macOS it seems to default to kitty as your terminal application even if it is not installed. You should be able to fix this by going to Settings -> Terminal -> Set the terminal emulator you want

I guess that depends on what you mean by synchronizing here. Right now it can access and manage the raw docker containers on remote systems. There isn't special support for docker compose, but that is one possible thing I can add in th

The indentation shouldn't really matter, I will try to figure out what went wrong there.

If you are looking for key points from the perspective of a heavy ssh CLI user, you can think of it as a fancy wrapper around your existing SSH client and configuration.It will automatically detect your SSH config and supports exactly the s

Thanks for trying it out and describing your issue. I assume that you mean that you have the IdentityFile option configured for every connection in your config file? That should work though, it might not list the file as an explicit detecte

The original idea was that since the systems you listed usually cost quite a bit of money to run, these would primarily be run in an enterprise context. I don't think I could afford hosting a managed kubernetes cluster and multiple dec

by crschnick 2y ago
Yeah the Proxmox limitation originally came about because I didn't find a reliable way to detect enterprise use from the CLI (But I had not used Proxmox before implementing that, so I might have missed it). But if I see this correctly,

As someone unfamiliar with that emacs term (more of a vim user), you had me confused for a moment there. But after reading up on that, it is actually quite similar to what xpipe does. Good to know about, I will dig deeper into it and see wh

Alright thanks for the feedback on the yubikey. I assumed that yubikeys would be found pretty much only in enterprise environments but perhaps I was wrong there. Maybe I can find a solution to that. The free plan restrictions are not perfec

I think as the developer I can comment on this since I initially built it for my own usage. The main goal of project is to enable easy file system and terminal access to all your servers, including things like docker/podman containers,
