📝 Interacting with DaSSHboard

Once installed, DaSSHboard offers an intuitive way to manage your SSH connections:

Dashboard View: The main interface displays all your SSH hosts in a grid layout
- Each host appears as a card with custom color and icon
- For each folder, you'll see two action buttons:
  - 🖥️ Open in current window
  - 🗗 Open in new window
Quick Access: From the dashboard footer, you can:
- Open your SSH config file to add or modify hosts
- Access DaSSHboard settings to customize the extension
Automatic Host Setup: The extension intelligently sets up each host:
- Creates default configurations for all hosts in your SSH config
- Sets default folders based on username (e.g., /home/username)
- Resolves hostnames to IP addresses where possible
Custom Appearance: Each host can be personalized with:
- Unique colors that apply to icons and interactive elements
- Specialized icons that represent the host's purpose (server, database, etc.)

⚙️ Configuration

DaSSHboard reads your existing SSH config (~/.ssh/config), so you don't need to duplicate any connection information!

Customize via VS Code settings (File > Preferences > Settings):

"daSSHboard.openAtStartup": true,  // Show dashboard when VS Code starts
"daSSHboard.hosts": {
  "my-server": {  // Must match a Host entry in your SSH config
    "folders": ["/home/user", "/var/www"],  // Multiple folders to connect to
    "color": "#2980b9",  // Custom background color
    "icon": "server"     // Custom icon
  }
}

Available Icons

DaSSHboard includes several built-in icons for your connections. The icons automatically adapt to your system theme.
