Persistent SSH Tunnel with systemd

This guide explains how to create a persistent SSH reverse tunnel using systemd without relying on tools like autossh. This approach automatically restarts the SSH tunnel if it fails or gets stuck due to disconnections.

Why Use systemd for SSH Tunnels?

Using systemd provides several benefits over standalone SSH or autossh:

  • Automatic Restart: If the SSH connection fails, systemd restarts it automatically.
  • Keep Alive: Prevents stale SSH connections by using SSH's ServerAliveInterval and ServerAliveCountMax.
  • Clean and Simple: Avoids external tools and manages the service with native system management.

Steps to Set Up

Automate GitHub Repo Creation and Push with a Bash Function

This bash function automates the process of initializing a Git repository, creating a GitHub repository, and pushing your local files—all from the command line using the GitHub CLI (gh). It also disables wikis and issues for the created repo.

Add the following function to your .bashrc or .zshrc file:

create_and_push_repo() {
    if ! command -v gh &> /dev/null
    then
        echo "Error: GitHub CLI (gh) is not installed. Please install it first."

Enable Input Source Switching in Cosmic Desktop by System76

Description

At present, Cosmic Desktop by System76 lacks a GUI to configure input source switching. However, the system uses the XKB (X Keyboard Extension) system, which allows manual configuration of input switching by modifying the relevant XKB settings.

The grp:win_space_toggle option defines a key combination (Super+Space or Win+Space) for switching between input sources. The provided workaround manually sets this option by editing the xkb_config file.

This approach gives users the flexibility to switch between keyboard layouts without waiting for native support in Cosmic Desktop.
