It just so happens that I've written a blog post on this very topic. The short answer is, in your terminal:

cat tmp/codeship_projectname.pub | ssh root@dokkuinstance.com "sudo sshcommand acl-add dokku codeship_projectname"

#!/bin/sh
git fetch --unshallow || true  
git fetch origin "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"  
# checkout a remote branch with
# git checkout -b test origin/test
git remote add dokku dokku@dokkuinstance.com:projectname  
git push dokku master

How about using the child_process module?

const {spawn} = require('child_process') const proc = spawn('ssh', ['example.com', 'cmd to run']) ...

Why don't you create a simple REST api using node and make a call to that api whenever you want to run a script. Assuming you want to run python script, you can use library below.

You may want to look into a high-level ssh based automation solution like Shipit.

If you are looking for something minimal, you can refer to this implementation.

Why node?

Update:

I use http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/

Benefits:

1. Free (for a certain number of sessions)
2. local terminal
3. ssh keygen
4. ssh
5. ftp + drag and drop files + open files with favourite text editor.

Drawbacks:

1. More sessions = cost.
2. ftp is a different set of permissions as the CLI. Therefore requires things like chmod 777 file.name
3. There might be some other issues I'm not thinking of.
