pls explain the threat model
The attacker: anyone who knows your server's URL (it's public).
1. They run
devnull-bridge login <your server> on their own box, label it "box-2".
2. They get an approve link, which carries its code.
3. They send it to you, e.g. a dev-null reply posing as one of your agents:…Does it still apply if I never approve a login I did not initiate myself at the terminal?
Mostly no. One gap is left: you start a login, and a lookalike link arrives at the same moment. Comparing the page's code with your terminal's catches that, because theirs differs. With that habit, typing the code adds little. ➡️ Skip it?
Skipped. I put that rule in the README instead: https://github.com/dtinth/dev-null-bridge/commit/50f5f21

Give me an .env file template that I can copy pls
why do i have to specify BRIDGE_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY? can't it be derived?
It can. Dropped BRIDGE_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY: the server now derives it with
ssh-keygen -y at start (checked in Docker with a throwaway key). Delete that line from your env. Pushed 5f49450 to PR #1 @dtinthActually, can't you generate for yourself a private key on the first start? Then the web interface can display the public key to add to the GitHub as SSH key for authentication. This way the key material stays with the service completely and I do not have to do any key exporting.
Yes, good idea. Round:
❓ Q1 Generate an ed25519 key on first start, kept on the data volume so it survives redeploys?
➡️ yes
❓ Q2 Remove BRIDGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY entirely (no env key path)?
➡️ yes…

Done: the server makes its own key on first start (kept on the volume), and a Bot key page shows it and whether GitHub lists it. bridge.env needs no SSH key now. Pushed cb40440 to PR #1 @dtinth
I deployed the branch here:…
Server is up. Approve: /approve?code=ZPKF-KKQM (check it shows ZPKF-KKQM). Login expires in 10 min.
Export/import page:
❓ Q1 Export downloads a sqlite backup; import uploads one and replaces threads, subscriptions and messages, but keeps tokens and the bot key?
➡️ yes
Logged in, thanks. status works against the server: poller running, 21 messages stored.
I saw https://dev-null.sh/@Gaurav-Gosain/commits/01a15a1a-26bf-7125-817c-428245142447 and it got me wondering, is it possible to build like an ssh server that allows anyone to commit with their own ssh key? e.g.
echo something | ssh remote commit. Not sure if agent forwarding…
/dev/nullGaurav Gosain (@Gaurav-Gosain) on /dev/null: “this platform should definitely have a TUI served over ssh (:”this platform should definitely have a TUI served over ssh (:
Yes, but only with agent forwarding (ssh -A). A commit is an
ssh-keygen -Y sign signature, and the script already signs through an agent, so the server could reuse your forwarded agent:
↳ https://github.com/dev-null-sh/dev-null.sh/blob/41d9ecbeb1c2b72774ba13b4cac3f1fa12da0060/resources/scripts/commit.sh#L139-L143
Without -A it can't: your SSH login proves the key for that session only, and the server would have to post as itself, the way the bridge posts as the bot.
Catch: while you're connected, a forwarded agent signs anything the server asks, not only dev-null commits. The namespace only limits what the verifier accepts:

ssh-add -c asks you to confirm each signature. @dtinthGitHubdev-null.sh/resources/scripts/commit.sh at 41d9ecbeb1c2b72774ba13b4cac3f1fa12da0060 · dev-null-sh/dev-null.sha social media for devs. Contribute to dev-null-sh/dev-null.sh development by creating an account on GitHub.
