Parallel SSH: A Distributed Remote Execution Library

parallel_ssh is a Rust-based library designed by San Francisco Compute Company for seamless cluster management and remote command execution. This tool enables system administrators and DevOps professionals to effortlessly run commands across multiple nodes in a cluster, streamlining operations and enhancing productivity in distributed computing environments.

Features

• Effortless Cluster Management: Execute commands simultaneously across multiple nodes in your cluster.
• Secure Connections: Utilizes SSH with public key authentication for secure and passwordless operations.
• Configurable Node List: Easily manage your cluster nodes through a simple TOML configuration file.
• Flexible Command Execution: Run any command or script across your entire cluster with a single command.
• Efficient Output Handling: Clearly displays command output or errors for each node, facilitating quick issue identification and resolution.

Installation

1. Ensure you have Rust and Cargo installed on your system. If not, install them from https://www.rust-lang.org/.

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sfcompute/parallel_ssh.git
   cd parallel_ssh
   

3. Build the project:

   cargo build --release
   

Configuration

1. Create a config.toml file in the same directory as the binary with the following structure:

   [cluster]
   nodes = [
       "node1.example.com",
       "node2.example.com",
       "10.0.0.1",
       "10.0.0.2"
   ]

2. Ensure you have SSH keys set up for passwordless authentication to all nodes in your cluster.

Usage

Run commands across your cluster using the following syntax:

cargo run -- <your_command_here>

For example:

cargo run -- ls -l /var/log

This will execute ls -l /var/log on all nodes specified in your config.toml file.

Examples

1. Check disk usage across all nodes:

   cargo run -- df -h
   

2. Update all nodes:

   cargo run -- sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
   

3. Check system uptime:

   cargo run -- uptime
