.SH NAME
\fBsshyp\fR - Simple, self-hosted, synchronized password management for UNIX(-like) systems. Alternative to (and compatible with) pass/password-store.
.SH SYNOPSIS
Client Usage: sshyp [/<entry name> [argument] [option]] | [argument]

Server Usage: sshyp <argument>
.SH DESCRIPTION
sshyp is a lightweight password and note management program written in Python. sshyp is used via CLI and is self-hosted with a client-server model. sshyp expects that you have access to a personal server with a properly configured ssh server, ideally accepting remote connections.
.SH EXAMPLES (CLIENT)
Setting up sshyp for the first time:
    sshyp init

Altering the existing sshyp configuration:
    sshyp tweak

Viewing the entry database:
    sshyp

Reading an existing entry saved as '~/.local/share/sshyp/development/github.gpg':
    sshyp /development/github

Removing an existing folder saved as '~/.local/share/sshyp/social':
    sshyp /social shear

Reading the same entry without hiding the password:
    sshyp /development/github --show

Copying the password of an existing entry saved as '~/.local/share/sshyp/financial/bank.gpg':
    sshyp /financial/bank copy -p

Editing the username of an existing entry saved as '~/.local/share/sshyp/game.gpg':
    sshyp /game edit -u

Making a new entry saved as '~/.local/share/sshyp/school/university.gpg' using the built-in password generator:
    sshyp /school/university gen

Creating a note-only entry saved as '~/.local/share/sshyp/notes/test note.gpg':
    sshyp /notes/test\ note add -n

Manually syncing entries with the server:
    sshyp sync

.SH SETUP
sshyp operates on a client-server model, and thus requires you to have access to your own server (whether it be a physical home server or a cloud rental) with remote access via SSH.

The sshyp package (on fully supported platforms) includes modes for operating on both client and server devices, so only one package is necessary.

Server setup:
    Configure an OpenSSH server (if sshyp was installed from the Debian package, openssh-server and openssh-sftp-server must be installed manually - if sshyp was installed from the Fedora package, openssh-server must be installed manually)
    Allow remote access to the SSH server w/public key authentication (disabling password-only authentication recommended)
    Install sshyp
    Run "sshyp init" and set the device type as server
    Optionally, configure a quick-unlock pin from the tweak menu
    Done!

Client setup:
    Install sshyp
    Run "sshyp init" and follow the prompts
    Copy the generated public SSH key (located at ~/.ssh/sshyp.pub) to the server using preferred method (manually adding to authorized_keys, ssh-copy-id, etc.)
    If you already have entries on the server, sync them using "sshyp sync"
    Optionally, shell completions (both Bash and ZSH) can be enabled with your shell's respective method
    Done!

Please note that the server setup intentionally does not allow the reading of entries (it does not allow adding a gpg decryption key). For security purposes, only clients can read entries.
