Isolated Install with `--target`

Install into a local directory without affecting your global Python environment. When using pip install --target, CLI entry points are not registered — use one of the two options below:

Option A — Wrapper scripts (recommended)

# Install into ./lib

$ pip install --target ./lib sshdcommander

# Run via wrapper scripts — path handled automatically

$ python ./lib/run_sshcmd.py --client-id my-agent "uptime" --server prod --connect

$ python ./lib/run_sshcp.py --client-id my-agent upload ./file.txt /opt/app/ --server prod

$ python ./lib/run_sshctl.py start-daemon

Option B — PYTHONPATH + `-m` flag

$ export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/lib:$PYTHONPATH

$ python -m sshcmd --client-id my-agent "uptime" --server prod --connect

$ python -m sshcp --client-id my-agent upload ./file.txt /opt/app/ --server prod

$ python -m sshctl status

Getting Started

Three commands to go from install to your first remote command.

quick start

# 1. Start the daemon

$ sshdctl start-daemon

# 2. Add your server profile (credentials stored in OS keyring)

$ sshdctl server add --name prod --host <your-server-ip> --user deploy

# 3. Run your first command (--connect on first call)

$ sshdcmd --client-id my-agent "uptime" --server prod --connect
