tunneltop
A tunnel manager in the familiar top style written with ncurses and asyncio.
Install
pipx install tunneltop
what it is
- a simple tunnel manager written in python that uses the standard library only(standard library only in python 3.11)
- it starts and manages the tunnels for you
- lets the user interactively manage the tunnels as well
- will reload the config file if it receives a
SIGHUP
- it is intentionally written as simple and tunnel-agnostic
- may or may not work on windows(let me know if you test it on windows)
toml file
tunneltop expects its config file to be at at $HOME/.tunneltoprc
.
You can see an example config file below:
[color]
header_fg = 4
header_bg = 0
active_fg = 23
active_bg = 0
disabled_fg = 8
disabled_bg = 0
timeout_fg = 63
timeout_bg = 0
unknown_fg = 38
unknown_bg = 0
down_fg = 208
down_bg = 0
box_fg = 22
box_bg = 0

The tunnel names must be unique.
address
Displays the address at which the tunnel is available at. It is a display-only option.
port
Displays the port at which the tunnel is available at. It is a display-only option.
command
The command used to start the tunnel.
test_command
The command used to test the state of the tunnel.
test_command_result
The expected result of the test command.
test_interval
How often should the test_command
be run.
test_timeout
How long before the test is considered to have timed out.
auto_start
Whether to automatically start this tunnel on startup.
keybindings
j
and k
move you up and down.
g
and G
move you to the first or last tunnel.
s
toggles a tunnel from enabled to disabled or vice versa.
r
restarts a tunnel.
t
runs the test right now.
pgup
and ctrl-b
move you up a page.
pgdown
and ctrl-f
move you down a page.
ctrl-u
and ctrl-d
move you up and down half a page respectively.
To quit send a SIGINT
or a SIGTERM
. I'm working on improving this of course.
tunneltop will reload its config file upon receiving a SIGHUP
and apply the changes immediately if there are any.
