`tobi` keeps commands running in detachable sessions across your devices.

`tobi -- nu` spins up a daemon with the command running. the daemon will
automatically detach if you close your terminal window. detached sessions will
be cleaned up after 24h of them being detached. `tobi host.id -- nu` creates
a session on that target, and since host is optional you can `tobi .id -- nu`
to create a session with that specific id! hosts can carry a user
(`tobi you@host.id`) when your ssh config doesn't already set one, or you want
to use a different user.

you can access it from any of your other devices on your tailscale network by
running `tobi`, which opens up a fuzzy selector with all the sessions across
your network, one row per host: enter on a host row starts a login shell there,
so you can open a session without leaving the picker, and ctrl+x on a session
kills it. hosts that are offline or
unreachable are listed but can't be picked. you can also just do `tobi hx`,
`tobi host.<TAB>` or `tobi hs.id` to attach a session using fuzzy search.

unlike tmux, tobi doesn't nest. running tobi inside a tobi session will just
replace your session with the target session. multiple viewers can attach to
a single tobi session (in that case minimum terminal size will be used).

## requirements

tobi uses `tssh` if it's in PATH, otherwise `ssh`. `tailscale` binary is only
required for discovery to function, nothing else.

## installation

there is a nix flake so you can use that, just do
`nix profile add git+https://tangled.org/ptr.pet/tobi`.
or `nix-env -f . -i tobi` (or `nix profile add -f .`).
otherwise get go and compile it!

if you run target tobi to a host that doesn't have it, then tobi will install
itself onto the user's `~/.local/bin` (or equivalent) automatically, or upgrade
an outdated tobi if the one on the target host is a different version.

if you use the nix package or build with carriers (see ./scripts) then you can
infect other machines with tobi as long as the os/arch is supported, which are
linux amd64, arm64 & macos arm64.

charm ui libs and tailscale. llms were also used while making this (i leave
how much up to the reader if you care ^^).
