sshportal is a transparent SSH bastion (jump host) server written in Go that manages users, hosts, and access control without requiring a traditional jump step. It provides an interactive admin shell, user invite system, and supports connecting to servers that don't support SSH keys.

Use cases

  • set up a transparent ssh bastion for my team
  • manage ssh access to servers without distributing keys
  • centralize ssh host credentials and user access levels
  • invite teammates to access servers via ssh
  • connect to legacy servers that don't support ssh keys
  • audit and control who can ssh into which hosts

When to choose

  • you need a simple, self-hosted SSH bastion with minimal setup
  • you want centralized SSH user/host management with role-based access
  • your team needs transparent jump-host access without changing client workflows

When to avoid

  • you need enterprise features like session recording or advanced auditing
  • you require high-availability clustering out of the box
  • you prefer a GUI-managed bastion solution
