I've been trying to come up with a hypothetical use case for this. I can't use this as a server without keeping an active session right? I wonder if you could get around this by sshing into itself from inside the primary session. Is that an edge case you've considered?




This is a feature I want to implement: an option to keep boxes running while disconnected. Maybe with something like

ssh shellbox.dev keepalive box1


Maybe this and other future extended features could be configured via some host-accessible mounted conf.d? Otherwise if I forget to use that command on every login, I might just forget, logout, and go on thinking my server is still running.


For this use case, why wouldn't you just instead run a VPS on AWS or some cheaper platform?

You definitely should
