Summary
Add support for establishing connections over SSH in addition to the existing connection methods.
Motivation
Many users access remote systems exclusively through SSH. Supporting SSH-based connections would improve security, enable access to remote environments, and make the project more flexible for a wider range of deployment scenarios.
Proposed Solution
- Add support for SSH authentication (e.g., private key and/or password).
- Allow users to configure SSH connection parameters such as:
- Host
- Port
- Username
- Authentication method (private key or password)
- Establish a secure SSH session before communicating with the remote service.
- Handle common SSH errors gracefully (authentication failures, unreachable host, timeouts, etc.).
Expected Behavior
- Users can create and use SSH-based connections.
- Existing connection methods continue to work without changes.
- Connection failures provide clear and actionable error messages.
Additional Considerations
- Support encrypted private keys if applicable.
- Consider host key verification and known_hosts management.
- Ensure sensitive credentials are stored securely.
- Add documentation and examples for configuring SSH connections.
