pico.sh

The ultimate ssh powered services for developers

Important

Read our docs at pico.sh.

Publish and prototype with the tools already in your $PATH: scp, rsync, sftp, and ssh. Stay in your shell.

Read our design principles: https://blog.pico.sh/rfc-001-radical-experimentation

• pages: A static site hosting platform using ssh for site deployments. ssh.
• tuns: https/wss/tcp tunnels to localhost using only
• pipe: Authenticated *nix pipes over ssh
• prose: A blog platform using ssh for content management.
• feeds: An RSS email notification service using ssh.
• pastes: Upload code snippets using rsync, scp, and sftp.

Deploy a site with a single command

Upload your static site to us:

rsync -rv ./public/ pgs.sh:/mysite/

Now your site is available with TLS handled for you: https://{user}-mysite.pgs.sh We also automatically handle TLS for your custom domains!

Access localhost using https

If you have a local webserver on localhost:8000, activate an ssh tunnel to us:

ssh -R dev:80:localhost:8000 tuns.sh

Now your local dev server is availble on the web: https://dev.tuns.sh

Authenticated *nix pipes over ssh

Have one terminal listen for an event and another terminal send the event:

# term 1
ssh pipe.pico.sh sub mytopic
# term 2
echo "Hello world!" | ssh pipe.pico.sh pub mytopic

The sub will receive "Hello world!"

Publish blog articles with a single command

Create your first post, (e.g. hello-world.md):

# hello world!

This is my first blog post.

Cya!

Upload the post to us:

scp hello-world.md prose.sh:/

Congrats! You just published a blog article, accessible here: https://{user}.prose.sh/hello-world

Easily share code snippets

Pipe some stdout to us:

git diff | ssh pastes.sh changes.patch

And instantly share your code snippets: https://{user}.pastes.sh/changes.patch

Receive email notifications for your favorite rss feeds

Create a blogs.txt file:

=: email rss@myemail.com
=: cron 0 13 * * *
https://blog.pico.sh/rss
https://bower.sh/rss

Then upload it to us:

scp blogs.txt feeds.pico.sh:/

After the daily interval has been reached, you will receive an email with your feeds!
