New: Jelastic SSH Access

Posted on by Damien

Ever wanted to combine the awesome power of our Jelastic PaaS with command line utilities of the latest generation PHP frameworks, Composer package management, or just enjoy the simple elegance of vim for some on-the-fly last minute edits?

Guess what – now you can! We’ve added an SSH gateway to our platform so now you can log in to any of your Jelastic nodes and configure key based authentication for your git repos, run artisan, and validate your httpd.conf before restarting apache!

GlassFish users can now use asadmin to start the local Derby (JavaDB) database engine if it’s needed by their project (stopped by default to save resources), whilst MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and MongoDB users can run their respective CLI utilities directly on the server to perform import/exports and other administrative functions.

This new functionality is available to all Layershift Jelastic PaaS customers right now. Check out our Jelastic SSH Access KB article for details. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
