DaSSHboard is a stylish, intuitive dashboard for VS Code that puts your SSH connections at your fingertips.
Never waste time typing SSH commands or hunting for host details again!

Overview

🔌 Install from Marketplace or ⬇️ Download Latest Release (.vsix)

✨ Features


Smart Auto-discovery	Detects every host in your `~/.ssh/config`.
One-Click Connect	Open any host / folder in the current or a new VS Code window.
Status-Bar Shortcut	A dedicated button sits right after the Remote indicator. Icon is user-configurable.
Remote-Aware UI	When you’re in a Remote-SSH window a red “Close Remote connection” button appears.
Remote Menu Integration	“Show DaSSHboard” is available in the Remote window menu (bottom-left) and the Command Palette.
Beautiful Interface	Per-host colours and icons – local SVGs or any Codicon (`codicon:cloud`, `$(server)`, …).
Multiple Folders	Define as many start-folders as you like for each host.
Startup Integration	Optionally pop the dashboard open when VS Code starts.

🚀 Quick Start

Install the extension.
Hit the DaSSHboard button (second from the left in the status-bar),
use the Remote menu, or run “Show DaSSHboard” from the Command Palette.
Click a host → choose the folder → you’re in!

⚙️ Configuration

DaSSHboard reads your existing SSH config (~/.ssh/config), so you never duplicate connection info.

Open File ▸ Preferences ▸ Settings and tweak:

{
  // open dashboard when VS Code starts
  "daSSHboard.openAtStartup": true,

  // choose any codicon for the status-bar button
  "daSSHboard.statusBarIcon": "dashboard",

  // per-host customisation
  "daSSHboard.hosts": {
    "my-server": {
      "folders": ["/home/user", "/var/www"],
      "color": "#2980b9",

      /* icon options:
         - local SVG in media/hosts/       → "server"
         - codicon name                    → "codicon:cloud"  or  "$(cloud)"
         - leave empty to use default      → ""               */
      "icon": "codicon:cloud"
    }
  }
}

Using Codicons

Want to use VS Code’s native icon set instead of local SVGs?
Just set icon to either of the following syntaxes:

Syntax	Example	Result
`codicon:<name>`	`"codicon:cloud"`	fetches cloud.svg from the official repo
`$(<name>)`	`"$(database)"`	same as above (status-bar shorthand)

DaSSHboard pulls the SVG directly from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-codicons/tree/main/src/icons
and recolours it to match your theme or custom host colour.

Built-In SVG Icon Pack

Prefer bundled assets? A full set of light- & dark-aware SVGs lives in
media/hosts/. Use the filename without the “.svg” extension, e.g. "server".
