Anata No Minato（あなたのみなと）

English | 简体中文 | 日本語

This project is an attempt to packaging the Ananta with its runtime into a minimum, hardened docker image, while also providing a convenient way to use it.
It is recommended to bind mount the ${HOME}/.ssh/ into the container, and the container will automatically generate hosts.toml based on ~/.ssh/config for you.

Since it is routine for me to spend lot of my labour hours in an air-gapped environment, a docker image seems to be the best way to package some of my favourite tools.

How to start

Install the ananta helper script:

curl -sSLROJ --fail -- \
    "https://github.com/IceCodeNew/anata-no-minato/releases/latest/download/ananta"

# it is always a good idea to check the content of a script before executing it
cat ./ananta

sudo install -pvD ./ananta /usr/local/bin/
rm ./ananta

This helper script will automatically generate hosts.toml based on ~/.ssh/config, issue the command as below:
(omit the hosts.toml argument)

ananta -CS fastfetch

In case you want to specify an existing hosts.toml,
issue the command with the same arguments sequence as the original ananta command:

ananta -t arch hosts.toml sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm

Hacking SSH Config for Ananta

Specify Tags

You can assign tags to hosts by including a #tags line in your SSH config. Separate multiple tags using either commas (,) or colons (:), as shown below:

Host mynas
    Hostname 1.1.1.1
    User root
    #tags tailscale,debian:nas,home

Excluding a Host from hosts.toml Generation

To exclude a host from the generated hosts.toml file, add the !ananta tag to its tags list. Any host marked with this tag will be skipped during the generation process.

Host do_not_ananta_in_this_host
    #tags home,debian,!ananta

Disabling the tags option

To disable a #tags line, simply add an extra # at the beginning, effectively re-enabling the SSH host.

Host will_ananta_in_this_host
    ##tags home,debian,!ananta

Why named "Anata No Minato"

My local disk already has too many git repositories named docker-XXX. Since I want to save a few keystrokes when jumping into this project directory, I won't name it docker-ananta. Ananta doesn't align with Chinese or Japanese pronunciation conventions. By omitting one 'n' it becomes the Japanese word Anata (あなた), which means "you" and gives me tab completion after typing just four letters.
Meanwhile, Minato (みなと) in Japanese means "harbor" - a natural association with Docker containers. When combined, these form the title of a classic Japanese enka song. Please take a listen to it ;-)
