A tiny Go TUI app written using Bubble Tea for spinning up a quick bare-bones Linux box I can SSH into from macOS to mimic my university OS exam server.
Go is required.
go install github.com/katistix/ephemeral-linux/cmd/ephemeral-linux@latestephemeral-linuxIf your Go bin directory is not in your PATH, run:
~/go/bin/ephemeral-linux- Docker installed and running
- user:
user - password:
pass - SSH port:
2222
First run takes a bit longer because the app builds the image once. After that it starts much faster.
Included in the image:
- OpenSSH server
- GCC, Make, Valgrind
- man pages
- common Unix tools like grep, sed, find, awk, less, and vim
- the container is temporary and is removed when you quit the TUI
- the app creates a temporary local SSH wrapper command so fresh host keys do not pollute
known_hosts - intended for local use only
