How to Install Sish on Clear Linux Latest

Introduction

Sish is a secure SSH server that provides a reverse tunnel to connect to a remote device securely. It can be used to bypass restrictive firewalls and NATs, or to access devices behind them. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install sish on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

  • A Clear Linux Latest installation.
  • Access to a terminal with sudo privileges.

Installation

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Install Git on your system by typing the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add git
  1. Clone the sish repository using Git:
git clone https://github.com/antoniomika/sish.git
  1. Navigate to the sish directory:
cd sish/
  1. Install the dependencies:
sudo swupd bundle-add libev libstdc++ pkg-config cmake
  1. Build the sish binary:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)
  1. Install sish using the following command:
sudo make install

Usage

After installing sish, you can use it to connect to a remote device. To do so, use the following command:

sish -r [remote-host]:[remote-port] -l [local-port]
  • Replace [remote-host] with the hostname or IP address of the remote device you want to connect to.
  • Replace [remote-port] with the port number of the remote device's SSH server.
  • Replace [local-port] with the local port number that sish should listen on.

For instance, if you want to connect to a remote device with hostname example.com on port 22 and listen on local port 2222, use the following command:

sish -r example.com:22 -l 2222

Once you run this command, sish will create a tunnel between your local port 2222 and the remote device's port 22. You can then use your local SSH client to connect to the remote device through this tunnel.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install and use sish on Clear Linux Latest. With sish, you can connect to a remote device securely and bypass restrictive firewalls and NATs.
