# tunneltop
-a tunnel manager in the familiar top style
+A tunnel manager in the familiar top style with ncurses and asyncio.
+
+![Image](tunneltop.png)
+
+## 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:</br>
+```toml
+[socks5ir]
+address = "127.0.0.1"
+port = 9997
+command = "autossh -M 0 -N -D 9997 -o ServerAliveInterval=180 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -l debian -p 22 100.100.100.101"
+test_command = 'curl "%{http_code}" -k -I -4 --socks5 socks5h://127.0.0.1:9997 https://icanhazip.com'
+test_command_result = "200"
+test_interval = 300
+test_timeout = 10
+
+[socks5_3]
+address = "127.0.0.1"
+port = 9995
+command = "autossh -M 0 -N -D 0.0.0.0:9995 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o VerifyHostKeyDNS=no -o ServerAliveInterval=180 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -l debian -p 2022 100.100.100.100"
+test_command = 'curl "%{http_code}" -k -I -4 --socks5 socks5h://127.0.0.1:9995 https://icanhazip.com'
+test_command_result = "200"
+test_interval = 300
+test_timeout = 10
+```
+
+The tunnel names must be unique.</br>
+
+### address
+Displays the address at which the tunnel is available at. It is a display-only option.</br>
+
+### port
+Displays the port at which the tunnel is available at. It is a display-only option.</br>
+
+### command
+The command used to start the tunnel.</br>
+
+### test_command
+The command used to test the state of the tunnel.</br>
+
+### test_command_result
+The expected result of the test command.</br>
+
+### test_interval
+How often should the `test_command` be run.</br>
+
+### test_timeout
+How long before the test is considered to have timed out.</br>
+
+## keybindings
+`j` and `k` move you up and down.</br>
+
+`g` and `G`move you to the first or last tunnel.</br>
+
+`s` toggles a tunnel from enabled to disabled or vice versa.</br>
+
+`r` restarts a tunnel.</br>
+
+tunneltop will reload its config file upon receiving a `SIGHUP` and apply the changes immediately if there are any.</br>
