Terminal

A bookmark that tails a server you host somewhere else

The app still runs on an old EC2 box. It isn't on Hoody. It can still have a URL.

You build the bookmark once: a Hoody terminal URL with ?ssh_host=prod-app-1.aws.com&ssh_user=ubuntu&ssh_key=/keys/aws-prod.pem&command=tail%20-f%20/var/log/app.log. The container makes the SSH connection and runs the tail; your phone just renders the output. At dinner, when someone says "is prod okay?", you open the bookmark and watch the log scroll between courses.

No SSH app on the phone. No key on the phone. No waiting until you're back at a laptop.

The phone never speaks SSH; it just opens a bookmark.
