🪄 Portkey - Magical SSH Portal Manager

"I solemnly swear I am up to no good... with server management"

Like the Marauder's Map from Harry Potter, Portkey is your magical gateway to instantly teleport between servers without memorizing passwords. One master spell (password) unlocks a hidden world of secure SSH connections, transforming the mundane task of server management into an enchanting experience.

✨ What Makes Portkey Magical?

Imagine having a magical map that reveals all your servers at once, and with a simple incantation, whoosh — you're instantly connected. Portkey is that map, but for SSH connections. Instead of fumbling with cryptic incantations (passwords), you speak one master spell and gain access to your entire server kingdom.

🧙‍♂️ The Magic Behind the Spell:

• Alohomora for SSH: One master password unlocks all your server credentials
• Marauder's Map for DevOps: Visualize all your servers in a TUI
• Apparition for SSH: Instantly teleport to any server with a single command
• Fidelius Charm: Strong encryption keeps your secrets safe

🪄 How the Magic Works

1. Create Your Magical Vault ✨

./portkey init  # Cast the creation spell
# Enter your master password - this becomes your magical key

2. Populate Your Magical Map 🗺️

./portkey add    # Reveal new servers to your map
# Name: production-web
# Host: 192.168.1.100
# Password: ••••••••
# Description: The castle's main gate

3. Navigate Your Wizarding World 🧭

./portkey quick  # TUI (ratatui) with fuzzy search
# Type to filter, ↑/↓ to select, ↵ to connect, q to quit
# 🪄 *Poof* - You're connected!

4. Search Like a True Wizard 🔍

./portkey search web  # Fuzzy search across names/hosts/users/descriptions
./portkey search prod

5. Export SSH Config 🧷

# Preview entries to add to ~/.ssh/config
./portkey ssh-config

# Append entries directly to ~/.ssh/config
./portkey ssh-config --write

🪄 Behind the Magic

When you type a password, Portkey performs an ancient ritual:

2. Unseals the vault using SecretBox (XSalsa20-Poly1305)
3. Reveals your servers in a fast TUI with fuzzy search
4. Teleports you instantly via SSH with stored credentials
