Why

I just need a gadget for my work . In my work, i need to manage many remote server machines that deployed some application, such as java application,mysql and so on. when i decided to connect some machines, I spend a lot of time checking which applications are deployed on each server it's making me miserable. Tabby has wonderful Profiles & connections feature, but there no space to remark more information for every machine or connection. I still need another document to manage information that can not hold with Tabby.

It's so easy. Default , stabby(simple_tabby) loads config file under $USER_HOME/.simple_tabby/default.json, file content like below:

[
  {
    "title": "title for remote server",
    "host": "remote server ip or host",
    "port": 22,
    "user": "remote user ,default is root",
    "password": "remote password",
  }
]

when stabby is running, it loads file as json objects,let user can see all server
