Description: ====================
        powermole/gui
        ====================
        
        This program will let you perform port forwarding, redirect internet traffic, and
        transfer files to, and issue commands on, a host without making a direct connection
        (ie. via one or more intermediate hosts), which would undoubtedly compromise your privacy.
        This solution can only work when you or your peers own one or more hosts as this program
        communicates with SSH servers. This program can be viewed as a multi-versatile wrapper
        around SSH with the ProxyJump directive enabled. Powermole creates automatically a ssh/scp
        configuration file to enable key-based authentication with the intermediate hosts.
        
        
        How it works
        ============
        
        Terminology
        -----------
        
        * **Tunnel** is an established connection from localhost to target destination host through intermediate hosts (called Gateways).
        * **Agent** is a python module running on the target destination host. It performs various functions.
        * **Instructor** sends data and instructions to the *Agent* by utilizing a forwarded connection provided by *Tunnel*.
        
        This cli package uses the lib package to create a Tunnel and models the specific Instructor to communicate with the Agent (on the target destination host).
        The Agent communicates directly with the operating system of the host on which it resides.
        The Agent is responsible to redirect internet traffic (TOR mode), put files (TRANSFER option), and issue commands (COMMAND option).
        For port forwarding (FOR mode), the program simply relies on SSH itself. The Agent also responds to heartbeats send by localhost to check if connection is still intact.

        Requirements (functional)
        =========================
        
        * The client program only works on macOS and Linux (tested Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora).
        * The intermediate hosts (Gateways) must be Linux.
        * The client and all Gateways have Python >3.6 as their default interpreter.
        * You need *at least* 1 Gateway.
        * You have the associated SSH identification file (i.e. the private key) for these intermediaries.
        * Due to security reasons, SSH password login is not supported.
        * This program doesn't require root privileges on the client (*to be confirmed*).
        
        
        Requirements (software)
        =======================
        
        For Linux, install the following package on the *client*.
        
        * Tk interface library
        
          * dnf install python3-tkinter
        
        For macOS, install the following package on the *client*
        
        * Tk interface library
        
          * brew install tcl-tk
        
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        If you use the standard packet manager:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ pip install powermolegui
        
        or if you use pipx:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ pipx install powermolegui
        
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        Issue this command to actually execute the program.
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ powermolegui
        
        Powermole allows you to enter one of the modes listed below.
        This is done by opening a `Configuration <https://github.com/yutanicorp/powermolegui#configuration>`__ file.
        
        The JSON file contains directives to enter one of the modes listed below:
        
        * TOR mode
        * FOR(warding) mode
        
        In TOR mode, the target destination host acts as an exit node (in TOR terminology).
        
        .. image:: ../img/illustration_tor.png
        
        In FOR(warding) mode, connections are forwarded to the target destination host, on which, for example, an email server (e.g. Postfix) is running and a local email client want to connect to its listening ports.
        
        .. image:: ../img/illustration_forwarding.png
        
        
        Configuration
        =============
        
        To enable TOR mode
        ------------------
        
        Edit the JSON document in the configuration file to incorporate the keywords **mode**, **proxies**, **destination**, and optionally **application**.
        When **application** is specified, then powermole will start the application of choice once the tunnel is ready.
        Please note, if an instance of that application (eg. Firefox) is already running, powermole will terminate immediately.
        In the example below, powermole drills through 2 intermediate hosts and ends at host #3.
        Hitting ctrl + c in terminal will dismantle the tunnel (and stop application)
        
        .. code-block:: JSON
        
            {
            "mode":         "TOR",
            "gateways":    [{"host_ip": "192.168.10.2",
                             "user": "root",
                             "identity_file": "/Users/vincent/.ssh/id_rsa_pl"},
                            {"host_ip": "192.168.10.3",
                             "user": "root",
                             "identity_file": "/Users/vincent/.ssh/id_rsa_cz"}],
            "destination": {"host_ip": "192.168.10.4",
                            "user": "root",
                            "identity_file": "/Users/vincent/.ssh/id_rsa_nl"},
            "application": {"binary_name": "firefox",
                            "binary_location": "/usr/bin/firefox"}
            }
        
        
        To enable FOR(warding) mode
        ---------------------------
        
        Edit the JSON document to incorporate the keywords **mode**, **proxies**, **destination**, **forwarders**, and optionally **application**.
        When **application** is specified, then powermole will start this application once the tunnel is ready.
        Please note, if an instance of that application (eg. Thunderbird) is already running, powermole will terminate immediately.
        In the example below, powermole drills through 1 intermediate host and ends at host #2.
        Hitting ctrl + c in terminal will dismantle the tunnel (and abort application).
        
        .. code-block:: JSON
        
            {
            "mode":         "FOR",
            "gateways":    [{"host_ip": "192.168.10.2",
                             "user": "root",
                             "identity_file": "/Users/vincent/.ssh/id_rsa_pl"}],
            "destination": {"host_ip": "192.168.10.3",
                            "user": "root",
                            "identity_file": "/Users/vincent/.ssh/id_rsa_cz"},
            "forwarders": [{"local_port": 1587,
                            "remote_interface": "localhost",
                            "remote_port": 587},
                           {"local_port": 1995,
                            "remote_interface": "localhost",
                            "remote_port": 995}]
            }
        
        
        Planning
        ========
        
        The program lacks the ability to choose a correct Python interpreter. The program will
        start the Agent module on destination host with the Python 3.6 interpreter. This is
        hardcoded, but a future release should also include a mechanism to use a higher version
        of Python if available.
        
        Development Workflow
        ====================
        
        The workflow supports the following steps
        
         * lint
         * test
         * build
         * document
         * upload
         * graph
        
        These actions are supported out of the box by the corresponding scripts under _CI/scripts directory with sane defaults based on best practices.
        Sourcing setup_aliases.ps1 for windows powershell or setup_aliases.sh in bash on Mac or Linux will provide with handy aliases for the shell of all those commands prepended with an underscore.
        
        The bootstrap script creates a .venv directory inside the project directory hosting the virtual environment. It uses pipenv for that.
        It is called by all other scripts before they do anything. So one could simple start by calling _lint and that would set up everything before it tried to actually lint the project
        
        Once the code is ready to be delivered the _tag script should be called accepting one of three arguments, patch, minor, major following the semantic versioning scheme.
        So for the initial delivery one would call
        
            $ _tag --minor
        
        which would bump the version of the project to 0.1.0 tag it in git and do a push and also ask for the change and automagically update HISTORY.rst with the version and the change provided.
        
        
        So the full workflow after git is initialized is:
        
         * repeat as necessary (of course it could be test - code - lint :) )
           * code
           * lint
           * test
         * commit and push
         * develop more through the code-lint-test cycle
         * tag (with the appropriate argument)
         * build
         * upload (if you want to host your package in pypi)
         * document (of course this could be run at any point)
        
        
        Important Information
        =====================
        
        This template is based on pipenv. In order to be compatible with requirements.txt so the actual created package can be used by any part of the existing python ecosystem some hacks were needed.
        So when building a package out of this **do not** simple call
        
            $ python setup.py sdist bdist_egg
        
        **as this will produce an unusable artifact with files missing.**
        Instead use the provided build and upload scripts that create all the necessary files in the artifact.
