Connpy is a ssh and telnet connection manager and automation module for Linux, Mac and Docker

## Installation

pip install connpy

### Run it in Windows using docker
```
git clone https://github.com/fluzzi/connpy
docker compose -f path/to/folder/docker-compose.yml build
docker compose -f path/to/folder/docker-compose.yml run -it connpy-app
```

## Automation module usage
### Standalone module
```
import connpy
router = connpy.node("uniqueName","ip/host", user="username", password="password")
router.run(["term len 0","show run"])
print(router.output)
hasip = router.test("show ip int brief","1.1.1.1")
if hasip:
    print("Router has ip 1.1.1.1")
else:
    print("router does not have ip 1.1.1.1")
```

### Using manager configuration
```
import connpy
conf = connpy.configfile()
device = conf.getitem("router@office")
router = connpy.node("unique name", **device, config=conf)
result = router.run("show ip int brief")
print(result)
```
### Running parallel tasks on multiple devices 
```
import connpy
conf = connpy.configfile()
#You can get the nodes from the config from a folder and fitlering in it
nodes = conf.getitem("@office", ["router1", "router2", "router3"])
#You can also get each node individually:
nodes = {}
nodes["router1"] = conf.getitem("router1@office")
nodes["router2"] = conf.getitem("router2@office")
nodes["router10"] = conf.getitem("router10@datacenter")
#Also, you can create the nodes manually:
nodes = {}
nodes["router1"] = {"host": "1.1.1.1", "user": "user", "password": "password1"}
nodes["router2"] = {"host": "1.1.1.2", "user": "user", "password": "password2"}
nodes["router3"] = {"host": "1.1.1.2", "user": "user", "password": "password3"}
#Finally you run some tasks on the nodes
mynodes = connpy.nodes(nodes, config = conf)
result = mynodes.test(["show ip int br"], "1.1.1.2")
for i in result:
    print("---" + i + "---")
    print(result[i])
    print()
# Or for one specific node
mynodes.router1.run(["term len 0". "show run"], folder = "/home/user/logs")
```
### Using variables
```
import connpy
config = connpy.configfile()
nodes = config.getitem("@office", ["router1", "router2", "router3"])
commands = []
commands.append("config t")
commands.append("interface lo {id}")
commands.append("ip add {ip} {mask}")
commands.append("end")
variables = {}
variables["router1@office"] = {"ip": "10.57.57.1"}
variables["router2@office"] = {"ip": "10.57.57.2"}
variables["router3@office"] = {"ip": "10.57.57.3"}
variables["__global__"] = {"id": "57"}
variables["__global__"]["mask"] =  "255.255.255.255"
expected = "!"
routers = connpy.nodes(nodes, config = config)
routers.run(commands, variables)
routers.test("ping {ip}", expected, variables)
for key in routers.result:
    print(key, ' ---> ', ("pass" if routers.result[key] else "fail"))
```
### Using AI
```
import connpy
conf = connpy.configfile()
organization = 'openai-org'
api_key = "openai-key"
myia = ai(conf, organization, api_key)
input = "go to router 1 and get me the full configuration"
result = myia.ask(input, dryrun = False)
print(result)
```
## Connection manager 
### Features
    - You can generate profiles and reference them from nodes using @profilename so you dont
      need to edit multiple nodes when changing password or other information.
    - Nodes can be stored on @folder or @subfolder@folder to organize your devices. Then can 
      be referenced using node@subfolder@folder or node@folder
    - If you have too many nodes. Get completion script using: conn config --completion.
      Or use fzf installing pyfzf and running conn config --fzf true
    - Much more!

### Usage:
```
usage: conn [-h] [--add | --del | --mod | --show | --debug] [node|folder] [--sftp]
       conn {profile,move,copy,list,bulk,export,import,run,config,api,ai} ...

positional arguments:
  node|folder    node[@subfolder][@folder]
                 Connect to specific node or show all matching nodes
                 [@subfolder][@folder]
                 Show all available connections globaly or in specified path
```

### Options:
