If you follow https://docs.coopcloud.tech/operators/handbook/#sharing-abra then you suddenly get a lot of symlinked servers which abra can manage. But if you run abra server ls, you have no connection details! You need to abra server add ... for each server to complete the details.

We can try to automate creating these connection details but sometimes there are different usernames/ports being used. We could try find these from the ~/.ssh/config file but a lot of folks don't use that.

It might be worth just erroring out then if we can't create a reliable context so that at least folks are not left thinking they have some obscure ssh problem but instead, just need to run abra server add ....

This is stopping more smooth onboarding of shared ~/.abra/...` set ups.
