![]() ![]() If you want to support both, then use the ‘–server’ option when starting a mosh session to specify which version of mosh-server will be run on the server (eg. Maybe save your original as mosh-server.origįrom this point forward, be aware that normal, standard mosh clients will not be compatible with patched mosh on the server. Ubuntu server: Same thing but with mosh-server. Maybe copy your originals as mosh.orig, mosh-client.orig Mac: Just put mosh and mosh-client in your path. … and then see iTerm2 window with Tmux Integration enabled. server=/home/donn/workspace//rledisez/mosh/src/frontend/mosh-server 10.1.1.1Īfter logging in to 10.1.1.1, start tmux on remote host: client=/Users/donn/workspace/git//rledisez/mosh/src/frontend/mosh-client \ The ‘mosh’ command is found in the ‘scripts’ subdirectory of the source code directory. With this info, I can try my first iTerm + tmux + mosh session: home/donn/workspace//rledisez/mosh/src/frontend/mosh-server ![]() Locate the path to patched mosh-server on my ubuntu server: Users/donn/workspace/git//rledisez/mosh/src/frontend/mosh-client Locate the path to patched mosh-client on my Macbook: Git checkout -b localScrollback-1.3.2 origin/localScrollback-1.3.2Īgain, you don’t have to ‘make install’ if you just want to try things out. Sudo apt-get install automake libtool g++ protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev libutempter-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev libio-pty-perl libssl-dev pkg-config Note: Boost (libboost-dev) not needed for mosh 1.2+ so I didn’t install it. You can try the binary without installing it (see below).īut, we also need a patched mosh on the server, so next… You don’t have to do ‘make install’ at this point. Parallel-tests: installing ‘./test-driver’ Src/crypto/Makefile.am: installing ‘./depcomp’ In my setup I have a macbook (mosh client) connecting to an ubuntu 16.04 server (mosh server).įirst, we’ll build mosh on the Macbook (mosh-client).ĭlee-mbp:~ donn$ mkdir -pv ~/workspace/git//rledisez/ĭlee-mbp:~ donn$ cd ~/workspace/git//rledisez/Ĭheckout the patched mosh branch called “localScrollback-1.3.2”:ĭlee-mbp:mosh donn$ git checkout -b localScrollback-1.3.2 origin/localScrollback-1.3.2ĭlee-mbp:mosh donn$ brew install protobuf automake pkg-configĬonfigure.ac:6: installing ‘./install-sh’ ![]() It so happens, this switching of network interfaces seems to break Eternal Terminal and close my session (in my testing). I use hard-wired ethernet at my desk and wifi when I leave my desk (eg. Note, if you are on wifi all the time, you can use Eternal Terminal instead of this howto. Once you are happy with how the patched mosh is working, you can move the patched mosh to a location in your path (need to do this on both client and server). This is done by specifying the ‘–client’ and ‘–server’ options when running mosh. Moreover, this howto allows you to try the patched mosh binaries without touching your existing mosh installation. Mosh is a small program, so the build is very quick. With this howto, you can build a patched version of mosh (client and server) that is compatible with iTerm’s Tmux Integration. The problem is iTerm’s Tmux integration works fine when using ssh, but not when using mosh. Basically everything you can do in iTerm2 regular tabs, you can probably do with your tmux session rendered by iTerm2’s Tmux Integration. Switching between tabs with keyboard shortcuts. Supports intuitive text selection and advanced text selection (discontiguous select & copy) built into iTerm. Supports iTerm2’s very quick & capable Cmd-F (Find) instead of tmux’s Find. Allows you to scroll back through your tmux window with Macbook touchpad gestures and iTerm hotkeys. Very cool iTerm2 feature that renders your tmux windows as native iTerm2 tabs. It allows you to keep active windows (and panes) in a session that remains alive even after you disconnect from the remote server.ģ) iTerm2’s Tmux Integration: Runs on Mac. Replacement for the old ‘screen’ utility. It’s not just for unreliable connections, I use mosh everywhere because it saves me time.Ģ) tmux: Runs on the server. train) or you are on VPN a lot, you really should use mosh instead of ssh. If your IP address changes while you commute (eg. Whenever I open my macbook, my shell sessions are exactly where they were before and ready for the next command. I can login to a server and never need to re-login for *months*. physical locations), VPNs, or network interfaces. Virtually indestructible ssh-like sessions that remain “live” even after you change IP addresses (ie. An ssh replacement that is secured with AES-128 and ssh. My dream setup was these 3 running together:ġ) mosh: Runs on client and on server. I have found terminal/shell nirvana on my Mac with mosh + tmux + iTerm2 Tmux Integration, but it wasn’t easy. It works flawlessly with iTerm2 and tmux. NOTE! Don’t follow this article, just use Eternal Terminal (et) instead of mosh (and instead of ssh). ![]()
