strongdm-gnome-shell-extension

Control existing StrongDM client (sdm).

• see status of resources (scraped from sdm status)
• disconnect all resources (sdm disconnect --all)
• disconnect a single resource (sdm disconnect [resource])
• open an ssh connection to a connected resource (sdm ssh [resource])
• open a website resource with your default browser

Installation

• https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4841/strongdm/

Developing

• clone this repo directly into ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/strongdm@andybrown668.github.com after deleting the contents of that folder
• watch the gnome-shell logs - journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell
• restart gnome shell to see your changes = alt-F2 r

Limitations:

• extension assumes the sdm client is logged in, and provides no login/logout functionality
• command line interactions with sdm are only detected once a minute - until then the menu can be inaccurate

Future:

• use sdm status Tags to layout the menu structure
• convince StrongDM to add an option - sdm status --json --watch - to return a json stream of status
• get a fancy panel icon from StrongDM
