I'm curious what are some prototypical use cases for you to embed an ssh sever into an application?


I work for a C++ company but the game we work on has a debug telnet server. It’s super useful to inspect state or even run automation scripts. Also has a bunch of useful debug commands like the ability to live reload shaders or change how various subsystems work.


[redacted for accuracy]


Going through the code, I couldn't find a server but only usage of ssh client. May be I missed it. But I think GP was looking for usecases where its helpful to run an embedded ssh server using a go binary.

Ansible facts can probably be a cross platform way to collect most of the information you need. For the usecases where scp'ng the binary is needed, I think ansible supports jumphost config too. But I agree that for one off tasks, running a single binary is convenient compared to setting up ansible.


Oop - you're right, I missed that they wanted server examples specifically. Thanks for the save.


I would check out if Not Diamond (no personal affiliation) [0] fits your use case. They had a really interesting blog post recently where they open sourced their older model router [1].

Thank you for writing up the details of your impactful work. I hope Meta pick this up gives you all tons of exposure.


I'm curious, how do you routinely test your backup and restore strategy / scripts?


We back up simple dumps to a Hetzner storage box (5€/month for 1 TB), which is fine for the moment. I download and restore the dumps locally regularly.

In the future, we will need a more robust and scalable solution of course.


LibreChat is pretty good.

Additionally, would love to chat about your use case. Seems really interesting. My co-founder and I are building out a solution to a similar problem.

Ping me, email is in the bio.


Let's discuss this publicly, please. Open Knowledge has the advantage that others also benefit from it.

About the use case: Ultimately, I just want to enable my team to use different LLMs without having to create an account for each team member. However, it should be possible to upload attachments. RAG is not required at the moment.


Thanks for the constructive push back.You are definitely right. How important is self-hosting in your private VPC vs a managed solution with good tenant isolation? How sensitive are these documents you plan to upload.


How do you do licensing and entitlements enforcement in the self-hosting B2B SaaS space?


I think floating the "More" link to the top is a great idea for such a valuable recurring thread. In the meantime, I got annoyed and threw together a minimal full-text search to canvas opportunities faster: https://hnjobs.lifeoverip.dev/


Got tired of clicking "More" so I implemented full text search for August's who is hiring thread.

Suggestions for improvements welcome! Still needs some spit and polish.


Very nice! Suggestions: a bit more visual distinction between the entries, perhaps change the 1-pixel line to a 5 pixel? Would also be good to have the searched text (gently) highlighted ...


Thanks for the feedback! I will take a crack at these UI improvements after I get out of work.
