How to Install Purple SSH Manager

Juggling dozens of SSH connections one terminal at a time gets old fast. Purple is an open-source SSH manager built in Rust that puts all your server connections in one place.

It handles servers from multiple cloud providers, controls Docker and Podman over SSH, monitors SSH tunnels, transfers files between servers, and distributes SSH keys in bulk.

Tutorial

1. Open the Purple repository at https://github.com/erickochen/purple.
2. Install Purple.

Wrapping Up

Once it's running, you can manage all your SSH work from one dashboard instead of hopping between terminals. Purple also supports MCP, so you can connect it to AI agents. Give it a try and see if it simplifies your server workflow.
