Getting a shell is pretty easy using abra, but we could make it even easiser for users if we had an SSH jump server, e.g. look what happens when you SSH into your Layershift account:

Please select the required environment available for user@domain.org
                                                                 Status         Alias                                   
  0. Quit
  1. Refresh

  ENV GROUPS
  2. [My Project] [0]:(0)                                                                                         

  UNGROUPED ENV
  3. site1.j.layershift.co.uk                      Running                                                
  4. site2.j.layershift.co.uk                      Running                                                
  5. site3.j.layershift.co.uk                      Stopped                                                
  6. site4.j.layershift.co.uk                      Running                                                
  7. multisite.j.layershift.co.uk                  Stopped                                                

Enter [0-7]:

Oh, interesting. Is that a separate script that runs when you SSH into the box?

Is that a separate script that runs when you SSH into the box?

I think so, I guess it's set as the login shell?

Maybe if we made abra have e.g. an --ssh mode where it launches this interface, and then set that?

Might only be useful when we have some kind of user groups going, tho, at the risk of making SSH more complicated for minimal benefit..

There are loads of rad CLI/TUI libs for golang so maybe this would be a nice stop gap between a fully blown web GUI? I've seen some really nice TUIs that are totally workable before.

We're still waiting on the NLNet grant for the web UI funding tho 😀

Allow `abra edit` or similar to edit files within a container #213

There's an alternative approach coming down the pipe in coop-cloud/wordpress#28. Still interested in this one though.
