It aims to remain compatible with OpenSSH while adding roaming, reconnection, UDP forwarding, QUIC/KCP transports, and low-latency behavior. The project explicitly compares itself with mosh: `tsshd` plays a role similar to `mosh-server`, and `tssh --udp` is presented as the client-side analogue. The difference emphasized by the README is that tssh/tsshd works like standard SSH and preserves features such as X11 forwarding, agent forwarding, port forwarding, scrollback, OSC52, ProxyJump, and tmux control-mode integration. Release history shows a fast 2025-2026 maturation cycle. The initial v0.1.0 release arrived on June 23; v0.1.1 added QUIC and fixed KCP hangs; v0.1.2 added X11 and agent forwarding; v0.1.5 added connection migration; v0.1.6 was described as a milestone release with ProxyJump, UDP-over-TCP, IPv4/IPv6 networking, recovery, and terminal improvements; v0.1.8 fixed protocol corruption and several stability issues. ### Adoption history The README documents many official installation channels: apt on Ubuntu and Debian, dnf/yum on Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL, yay on Arch Linux, Homebrew on macOS, Scoop on Windows, conda-forge, Go install, source builds, and GitHub release archives. The input metadata records Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop package-manager coverage. The project is adopted alongside the trzsz `tssh` client. The README lists supported clients and terminals, including trzsz-ssh (`tssh`) and Rootshell, which makes tsshd part of a broader terminal/SSH mobility stack rather than a standalone daemon only. ### How it is used A typical deployment installs `tssh` on the client and `tsshd` on the remote host, then logs in with `tssh --udp host`. Users can also configure `UdpMode` in `~/.ssh/config` to select UDP, QUIC, or KCP behavior without repeating flags. Operationally, `tssh` first opens a normal SSH session, starts a per-session `tsshd` process on the server, receives a UDP port and session secrets through the SSH channel, closes the original SSH connection, and then communicates with the server-side process over UDP. The README also documents tsshd as a Go framework for building custom SSH services. Examples show middleware-based services and integration with Wish/gliderlabs-style SSH servers for hybrid TCP SSH plus UDP roaming. ### Why package nerds care For package users, tsshd is interesting because it packages an ambitious answer to a long-standing terminal problem: mosh-like roaming and reconnection while keeping OpenSSH compatibility features that mosh historically lacks. Its release assets and packaging matrix are unusually broad for a young network tool, which matters to CLI users who want the same roaming SSH behavior on Linux servers, macOS clients, Windows environments, and mobile-adjacent terminals. ### Timeline - 2025-06-23: v0.1.0 initial release. - 2025-06-30: v0.1.1 added QUIC protocol support and fixed KCP hanging. - 2025-07-07: v0.1.2 added X11 forwarding and SSH agent forwarding. - 2025-10-26: v0.1.5 added connection migration and Windows terminal fixes. - v0.1.6: Milestone release added ProxyJump, UDP-over-TCP, IPv4/IPv6 networking, reconnection UX, and terminal improvements. - 2026-05-10: v0.1.8 fixed protocol corruption and improved SSH config, QUIC, and reliability behavior. ### Related projects - The README names trzsz-ssh (`tssh`) as the client designed as a drop-in OpenSSH replacement, mosh as the inspiration, KCP and QUIC as transports, and Wish/gliderlabs-style SSH servers as an integration path for custom services. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for tsshd.
