TerminatorRemote

A Terminator plugin which adds features for ssh and docker/podman to the context menu

Clone Horizontally/Vertically

This will clone your current SSH/container session into a newly spawned terminal

Heavily inspired by https://github.com/ilgarm/terminator_plugins which is no longer mainained

Profile Host Matching

When you clone a remote session, you can apply a terminator profile based on host or container name

Inspired by https://github.com/GratefulTony/TerminatorHostWatch which does this via regex matching your PS1

Installing

mkdir -p ~/.config/terminator/plugins
cp remote.py ~/.config/terminator/plugins/

Start Terminator. In Right Click -> Preferences -> Plugins, enable Remote

Configuration

Plugin section in ~/.config/terminator/config :

[plugins]
  [[Remote]]
    # Automatically clone when you split a terminal with a remote session
    auto_clone = False

    # When a terminal with a remote session is cloned, attempt to parse the
    # current working directory via the PS1 and 'cd' into it
    infer_cwd = True

    # Optional default profile for all SSH sessions
    ssh_default_profile = common_ssh_profile

    # Optional default profile for all container sessions
    container_default_profile = common_docker_profile

    # You can override above defaults by specifing a host with a profile key
    # ex:
    [[[foo]]]
      profile = foo_profile

Debugging

To debug, start Terminator from another terminal emulator like so:

terminator -d --debug-classes Remote,SSHSession,ContainerSession,RemoteProcWatch -u

Development

Adding support for future types of "Remote Sessions" can be easily added by subclassing RemoteSession and appending an instance to Remote.remote_session_types
