It is your responsibility to assess the security and stability of "sshyp" before using it and ensure it meets your needs. I am not responsible for any data loss or breaches of your information resulting from the use of "sshyp". "sshyp" is a new project that is constantly being updated, and though safety and security are priorities, they cannot be guaranteed.

Mission Statement

sshyp aims to make it as simple as possible to manage passwords and notes via CLI across multiple devices in a secure, self-hosted fashion.

What sshyp can do:

securely manage a collection of encrypted passwords and notes via CLI
generate new, secure passwords to the user's choice in length and complexity
securely sync said passwords and notes seamlessly between multiple POSIX compliant Unix devices

What sshyp will do:

everything it already does, but also in a GUI for Linux/Android
have a distinct retro theme
receive many usability enhancements

What sshyp definitely won't do:

2FA/MFA (for security purposes, this should not be handled by your password manager)
Windows support (I don't use Windows and I have no interest in developing for it)

Installation

Arch Linux (all ISAs)

sshyp releases are available in the Arch User Repository as 'sshyp'.

Install with your preferred AUR helper or use:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/sshyp.git
cd sshyp
makepkg -si

Pre-built packages exist for Arch, Debian, and Termux. These can be downloaded from the releases page.

Building

Since sshyp is written entirely in Python, it doesn't need to be compiled. It does, however, need to be packaged for installation.

A packaging script is included in the root directory of the repo in order to package sshyp for your distribution. To package sshyp from source, simply run:

git clone https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp.git
cd sshyp
./package.sh

The packaging script has been tested on Arch Linux with dpkg as a dependency for Debian and Termux packaging.

The AUR version and the packages attatched to the release tags were already packaged using this script.

Currently, the script can create packages for Arch (PKGBUILD), Debian, Termux, and generic. Packaging for other distributions coming soon.

Usage

Upon initial installation (on both the server and client devices), be sure to run:

sshyp tweak

This command will allow you to configure the settings necessary for sshyp to function. As of right now, sshyp is rapidly changing, and as such, it is a good idea to run "sshyp tweak" after each update.

Please note that decrypting and reading entries is disabled on server devices for security reasons. Only devices configured as clients can use the gpg key to decrypt entries.

All available options can be found with:

sshyp --help

Or alternatively, in the new manpage:

man sshyp

Roadmap

Short-term Goals:

create new file list w/color and w/o file extensions
overhaul argument system
fix lots of bugs!
make lots of optimizations!

Medium-term Goals:

create minimal GUI apps (Linux x86_64, Linux aarch64)
auto-completion on tab for CLI version

Long-term Goals:

seize the thrones, shear the humans

Known Issues

Currently, the entry list displays each entry with the file extension ".gpg" visible (which you do not type when reading, modifying, or creating an entry). This will be corrected when the new entry list is added.
