REQUIREMENTS

•   paramiko

    sshtunnel is on PyPI, so simply run:

    pip install sshtunnel

    or

    easy_install sshtunnel

    or

    conda install -c conda-forge sshtunnel

    to have it installed in your environment.

    For installing from source, clone the repo and run:

    python setup.py install

TESTING THE PACKAGE

In order to run the tests you first need tox and run:

python setup.py test

One of the typical scenarios where sshtunnel is helpful is depicted in the figure below. User may need to connect a port of a remote server (i.e. 8080) where only SSH port (usually port 22) is reachable.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
                            |
-------------+              |    +----------+

                            |
                         FIREWALL (only port 22 is open)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fig1: How to connect to a service blocked by a firewall through SSH tunnel.

If allowed by the SSH server, it is also possible to reach a private server (from the perspective of REMOTE SERVER) not directly visible from the outside (LOCAL CLIENT's perspective).

Fig2: How to connect to PRIVATE SERVER through SSH tunnel.

API allows either initializing the tunnel and starting it or using a with context, which will take care of starting and stopping the tunnel:

EXAMPLE 1

Code corresponding to Fig1 above follows, given remote server's address is pahaz.urfuclub.ru, password authentication and randomly assigned local bind port.

from sshtunnel import SSHTunnelForwarder
server = SSHTunnelForwarder(
    'alfa.8iq.dev',
    ssh_username="pahaz",
    ssh_password="secret",
    remote_bind_address=('127.0.0.1', 8080)
)
server.start()
print(server.local_bind_port)  # show assigned local port
# work with `SECRET SERVICE` through `server.local_bind_port`.
server.stop()

EXAMPLE 2

Example of a port forwarding to a private server not directly reachable, assuming password protected pkey authentication, remote server's SSH service is listening on port 443 and that port is open in the firewall (Fig2):

import paramiko
import sshtunnel
with sshtunnel.open_tunnel(
    (REMOTE_SERVER_IP, 443),
    ssh_username="",
    ssh_pkey="/var/ssh/rsa_key",
    ssh_private_key_password="secret",
    remote_bind_address=(PRIVATE_SERVER_IP, 22),
    local_bind_address=('0.0.0.0', 10022)
) as tunnel:
    client = paramiko.SSHClient()
    client.load_system_host_keys()
    client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
    client.connect('127.0.0.1', 10022)
    # do some operations with client session
    client.close()
print('FINISH!')

EXAMPLE 3

Example of a port forwarding for the Vagrant MySQL local port:

from sshtunnel import open_tunnel
from time import sleep
with open_tunnel(
    ('localhost', 2222),
    ssh_username="vagrant",
    ssh_password="vagrant",
    remote_bind_address=('127.0.0.1', 3306)
) as server:
    print(server.local_bind_port)
    while True:
        # press Ctrl-C for stopping
        sleep(1)
print('FINISH!')

Or simply using the CLI:

(bash)$ python -m sshtunnel -U vagrant -P vagrant -L :3306 -R 127.0.0.1:3306 -p 2222 localhost

EXAMPLE 4

Opening an SSH session jumping over two tunnels. SSH transport and tunnels will be daemonised, which will not wait for the connections to stop at close time.

import sshtunnel
from paramiko import SSHClient
with sshtunnel.open_tunnel(
    ssh_address_or_host=('GW1_ip', 20022),
    remote_bind_address=('GW2_ip', 22),
) as tunnel1:
    print('Connection to tunnel1 (GW1_ip:GW1_port) OK...')
    with sshtunnel.open_tunnel(
        ssh_address_or_host=('localhost', tunnel1.local_bind_port),
        remote_bind_address=('target_ip', 22),
        ssh_username='GW2_user',
        ssh_password='GW2_pwd',
    ) as tunnel2:
        print('Connection to tunnel2 (GW2_ip:GW2_port) OK...')
        with SSHClient() as ssh:
            ssh.connect('localhost',
                port=tunnel2.local_bind_port,
                username='target_user',
                password='target_pwd',
            )
            ssh.exec_command(...)

sshtunnel - Initiate SSH tunnels via a remote gateway.

sshtunnel works by opening a port forwarding SSH connection in the background, using threads.

The connection(s) are closed when explicitly calling the SSHTunnelForwarder.stop() method or using it as a context.

sshtunnel.SSH_TIMEOUT = 0.1
    Timeout (seconds) for transport socket (socket.settimeout)

sshtunnel.TUNNEL_TIMEOUT = 10.0
    Timeout (seconds) for tunnel connection (open_channel timeout)

sshtunnel.DEFAULT_LOGLEVEL = 40
    default level if no logger passed (ERROR)

sshtunnel.DEFAULT_SSH_DIRECTORY = '~/.ssh'
    Path of optional ssh configuration file

sshtunnel.check_address(address)
    Check if the format of the address is correct

Arguments:

address (tuple):
    (str, int) representing an IP address and port, respectively

    NOTE: alternatively a local address can be a str when working with UNIX domain sockets, if supported by the platform

Raises:

ValueError:
    raised when address has an incorrect format

Example:

    >>> check_address(('127.0.0.1', 22))

sshtunnel.check_addresses(address_list, is_remote=False)
    Check if the format of the addresses is correct

Arguments:

address_list (list[tuple]):
    Sequence of (str, int) pairs, each representing an IP address and port respectively

    NOTE: when supported by the platform, one or more of the elements in the list can be of type str, representing a valid UNIX domain socket

is_remote (boolean):
    Whether or not the address list

Raises:

AssertionError:
    raised when address_list contains an invalid element

ValueError:
    raised when any address in the list has an incorrect format

    Example:

    >>> check_addresses([('127.0.0.1', 22), ('127.0.0.1', 2222)])

•   Load keys from a running SSH agent (i.e. Pageant, GNOME Keyring)

    Raises:

BaseSSHTunnelForwarderError:
    raised by SSHTunnelForwarder class methods

HandlerSSHTunnelForwarderError:
    raised by tunnel forwarder threads

    NOTE: Attributes mute_exceptions and raise_exception_if_any_forwarder_have_a_problem (deprecated) may be used to silence most exceptions raised from this class

    Keyword Arguments:

ssh_address_or_host (tuple or str):
    IP or hostname of REMOTE GATEWAY. It may be a two-element tuple (str, int) representing IP and port respectively, or a str representing the IP address only

    New in version 0.0.4.

ssh_host_key (str):
    Representation of a line in an OpenSSH-style "known hosts" file.

    REMOTE GATEWAY's key fingerprint will be compared to this host key in order to prevent against SSH server spoofing. Important when using passwords in order not to accidentally do a login attempt to a wrong (perhaps an attacker's) machine

ssh_username (str):
    Username to authenticate as in REMOTE SERVER

    Default: current local user name

ssh_password (str):
    Text representing the password used to connect to REMOTE SERVER or for unlocking a private key.

    NOTE: Avoid coding secret password directly in the code, since this may be visible and make your service vulnerable to attacks

    Default: 22

ssh_pkey (str or paramiko.PKey):
    Private key file name (str) to obtain the public key from or a public key (paramiko.pkey.PKey)

ssh_private_key_password (str):
    Password for an encrypted ssh_pkey

    NOTE: Avoid coding secret password directly in the code, since this may be visible and make your service vulnerable to attacks

ssh_proxy (socket-like object or tuple):
    Proxy where all SSH traffic will be passed through. It might be for example a paramiko.proxy.ProxyCommand instance. See either the paramiko.transport.Transport's sock parameter documentation or ProxyCommand in ssh_config(5) for more information.

    It is also possible to specify the proxy address as a tuple of type (str, int) representing proxy's IP and port

    NOTE: Ignored if ssh_proxy_enabled is False

    New in version 0.0.5.

ssh_proxy_enabled (boolean):
    Enable/disable SSH proxy. If True and user's ssh_config_file contains a ProxyCommand directive that matches the specified ssh_address_or_host, a paramiko.proxy.ProxyCommand object will be created where all SSH traffic will be passed through

    Default: True

    New in version 0.0.4.

local_bind_address (tuple):
    Local tuple in the format (str, int) representing the IP and port of the local side of the tunnel. Both elements in the tuple are optional so both ('', 8000) and ('10.0.0.1', ) are valid values

    Default: ('0.0.0.0', RANDOM_PORT)

    Changed in version 0.0.8: Added the ability to use a UNIX domain socket as local bind address

local_bind_addresses (list[tuple]):

    Default: [remote_bind_address]

    New in version 0.0.4.

allow_agent (boolean):
    Enable/disable load of keys from an SSH agent

    Default: True

    New in version 0.0.8.

    Look for pkeys in folders on this list, for example ['~/.ssh'].

    Default: None (disabled)

    New in version 0.1.4.

compression (boolean):
    Turn on/off transport compression. By default compression is disabled since it may negatively affect interactive sessions

    Default: 5.0 (no keepalive packets are sent)

    New in version 0.0.7.

threaded (boolean):
    Allow concurrent connections over a single tunnel

    Default: True

    Describe whether or not the other side of the tunnel was reported to be up (and we must close it) or not (skip shutting down that tunnel)

    NOTE: This attribute should not be modified

    NOTE: When skip_tunnel_checkup is disabled or the local bind is a UNIX socket, the value will always be True

    Example:

    {('127.0.0.1', 55550): True,   # this tunnel is up
     ('127.0.0.1', 55551): False}  # this one isn't

    logger (Optional[logging.Logger])

Return:
    paramiko.Pkey

Keyword Arguments:

force (bool):
    Force close current connections

    Default: False

    New in version 0.2.2.

    NOTE: This had to be handled with care before 0.1.0:

•   if a port redirection is opened

•   the destination is not reachable

•   we attempt a connection to that tunnel (SYN is sent and acknowledged, then a FIN packet is sent and never acknowledged... weird)

•   we try to shutdown: it will not succeed until FIN_WAIT_2 and CLOSE_WAIT time out.

    NOTE: Handle these scenarios with tunnel_is_up: if False, server shutdown() will be skipped on that tunnel

close()
    Stop the an active tunnel, alias to stop()

restart()
    Restart connection to the gateway and tunnels
