Jump Hosts

Hoop could act as a bastion server allowing the execution of one-off sessions.

Prerequisites

To get the most out of this guide, you will need to:

• Either create an account in our managed instance or deploy your own hoop.dev instance
• You must be your account administrator to perform the following commands

Connection Configuration

Any agent connected in the gateway could act as bastion host. You could choose which command to expose.

Expose Bash Shell

hoop admin create conn jump-host-bash -a <agent-name> -- /bin/bash

Expose Python Shell

hoop admin create conn jump-host-python -a <agent-name> -- python3

How to Use

Start an interactive session.

# bash interactive session
hoop connect jump-host-bash

In the same connection, one-off processes can be run as well.

hoop exec jump-host-bash <<EOF
echo "one-off execution" && env
EOF

hoop exec jump-host-python -i 'import os; print(os.environ)'
