XPipe is a new type of shell connection hub and remote file manager that allows you to access your entire server infrastructure from your local machine. It works on top of your installed command-line programs and does not require any setup on your remote systems.
|
|
|
|
XPipe fully integrates with your tools such as your favourite text/code editors, terminals, shells, command-line tools and more. The platform is designed to be extensible, allowing anyone to add easily support for more tools or to implement custom functionality through a modular extension system.
|
|
|
|
It currently supports:
|
|
- [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) clusters, pods, and containers
|
|
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Podman](https://podman.io/), and [LXD](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/introduction/) container instances located on any host
|
|
- [SSH](https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/protocol) connections, config files, and tunnels
|
|
- [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://ubuntu.com/wsl), [Cygwin](https://www.cygwin.com/), and [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) instances
|
|
- [Powershell Remote Sessions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/running-remote-commands?view=powershell-7.3)
|
|
- Any other custom remote connection methods that work through the command-line
|
|
|
|
## Connection Hub
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Organize all your connections into hierarchical categories to keep a good overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Remote File Manager
|
|
|
|
- Interact with the file system of any remote system using a workflow optimized for professionals
|
|
- Quickly open a terminal session into any directory in your favourite terminal emulator
|
|
- Utilize your favourite local programs to open and edit remote files
|
|
- Dynamically elevate sessions with sudo when required without having to restart the session
|
|
- Integrates with your local desktop environment for a seamless transfer of local files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Terminal Launcher
|
|
|
|
- Automatically login into a shell in your favourite terminal with one click (no need to fill password prompts, etc.)
|
|
- Works for all kinds of shells and connections, locally and remote.
|
|
- Supports command shells (e.g. bash, PowerShell, cmd, etc.) and some database shells (e.g. PostgreSQL Shell)
|
|
- Comes with support for all commonly used terminal emulators across all operating systems
|
|

|
|
- Automatically make your scripts available in the PATH on any remote system without any setup
|
|

|
|
- Securely stores all information exclusively on your system,
|
|
optionally with a custom master passphrase to further encrypt secrets
|
|
- Supports syncing your vault data via your own remote git repository
|
|
- Can integrate with your password manager to fetch secrets and not store them itself

# Downloads
|
|
|
|
Note that this is a desktop application that should be run on your local desktop workstation, not on any server or containers. It will be able to connect to your server infrastructure from there.
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
Installers are the easiest way to get started and come with an optional automatic update functionality:
|
|
|
|
- [Windows .msi Installer (x86-64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-installer-windows-x86_64.msi)
|
|
|
|
You can also install XPipe by pasting the installation command into your terminal. This will perform the setup automatically:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command iwr "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/master/get-xpipe.ps1" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\get-xpipe.ps1" ";" "&" "$env:TEMP\get-xpipe.ps1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you don't like installers, you can also use a portable version that is packaged as an archive:
|
|
|
|
- [Windows .zip Portable (x86-64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-portable-windows-x86_64.zip)
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can also use [choco](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/xpipe) to install it with `choco install xpipe`.
|
|
|
|
## Linux
|
|
|
|
You can install XPipe by pasting the installation command into your terminal. This will perform the setup automatically.
|
|
The script supports installation via `apt`, `dnf`, `yum`, `zypper`, `rpm`, and `pacman` on Linux:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/master/get-xpipe.sh)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Debian-based distros
|
|
|
|
The following debian installers are available:
|
|
|
|
- [Linux .deb Installer (x86-64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-installer-linux-x86_64.deb)
|
|
- [Linux .deb Installer (ARM 64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-installer-linux-arm64.deb)
|
|
|
|
Note that you should use apt to install the package with `sudo apt install <file>` as other package managers, for example dpkg,
|
|
are not able to resolve and install any dependency packages.
|
|
|
|
### RHEL-based distros
|
|
|
|
The following rpm installers are available:
|
|
|
|
- [Linux .rpm Installer (x86-64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-installer-linux-x86_64.rpm)
|
|
- [Linux .rpm Installer (ARM 64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-installer-linux-arm64.rpm)
|
|
|
|
The same applies here, you should use a package manager that supports resolving and installing required dependencies if needed.
|
|
|
|
### Arch
|
|
|
|
There is an official [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xpipe) available that you can either install manually or via an AUR helper such as with `yay -S xpipe`.
|
|
|
|
### NixOS
|
|
|
|
There's an official [xpipe nixpkg](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=xpipe&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=xpipe) available that you can install with `nix-env -iA nixos.xpipe`. This one is however not always up to date.
|
|
|
|
There is also a custom repository that contains the latest up-to-date releases: https://github.com/xpipe-io/nixpkg.
|
|
You can install XPipe by following the instructions in the linked repository.
|
|
|
|
### Portable
|
|
|
|
In case you prefer to use an archive version that you can extract anywhere, you can use these:
|
|
|
|
- [Linux .tar.gz Portable (x86-64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-portable-linux-x86_64.tar.gz)
|
|
- [Linux .tar.gz Portable (ARM 64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-portable-linux-arm64.tar.gz)
|
|
|
|
Note that this assumes that you have some basic packages for graphical systems already installed
|
|
as it is not a perfect standalone version. It should however run on most systems.
|
|
|
|
## macOS
|
|
|
|
Installers are the easiest way to get started and come with an optional automatic update functionality:
|
|
|
|
- [MacOS .pkg Installer (x86-64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-installer-macos-x86_64.pkg)
|
|
- [MacOS .pkg Installer (ARM 64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-installer-macos-arm64.pkg)
|
|
|
|
You also can install XPipe by pasting the installation command into your terminal. This will perform the `.pkg` install automatically:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/master/get-xpipe.sh)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you don't like installers, you can also use a portable version that is packaged as an archive:
|
|
|
|
- [MacOS .dmg Portable (x86-64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-portable-macos-x86_64.dmg)
|
|
- [MacOS .dmg Portable (ARM 64)](https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe/releases/latest/download/xpipe-portable-macos-arm64.dmg)
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can also use [Homebrew](https://github.com/xpipe-io/homebrew-tap) to install XPipe with `brew install --cask xpipe-io/tap/xpipe`.
|
|
|

# Further information
|
|
|
|
## Open source model
|
|
|
|
XPipe utilizes an open core model, which essentially means that the main application is open source while certain other components are not. Select parts are not open source yet, but may be added to this repository in the future.
|
|
|
|
This mainly concerns the features only available in the professional tier and the shell handling library implementation. Furthermore, some CI pipelines and tests that run on private servers are also not included in this repository.
