[mosh-devel] Mosh-based infrastructure for remote management of remote devices

[Christophe Mietlicki]

Hi to all

Discovered mosh today (better now than never...) and very impressed ! Sure I will love it, as I'm sure also that internet would have been better if built over UDP than TCP ;-)

I have a question for you...

I deploy many devices (raspberry pi family) that are connected to the internet through cellular. I want to be able to manage them from anywhere in the world, even a PC connected to the internet over cellular.

In that kind of situation, we often put in place some kind of vpn infrastructure which I don't like so much...

I wonder what must be added to mosh to make that work...

I imagine that a mosh client session is opened from a PC anywhere (roaming) to a company's UDP tunnel server, that can initiate a client session to the mosh server that runs on the device. But it is not so easy because I want to use standard cellular sim cards with non public IP and no opened port).

Did you already built such network infrastuctures ? Do you have some advices to add mosh what's missing to do the job ?

Best regards

Hello -- thanks for your kind words! It is probably possible to adapt
mosh-server to do what you propose here (basically allowing the server to
roam instead of the client), but we have not done this or shipped it. I
think most people probably do just use an auto-roaming VPN (e.g. OpenVPN or
probably Wireguard) and then run Mosh on top of that.

If you want to dig in, look at mosh-server.cc and
mosh-client.cc/stmclient.cc and flip around which one runs the "server"
side of the network connection...

Best regards,
Keith
