#### Key-only SSH tunnel to the local Linux ADB server

ADB SSH Tunnel exposes your Linux SDK ADB server to trusted computers
through a restricted key-only SSH gateway. The adaptive GTK 4 /
Libadwaita window mirrors the Android app: a large round power button,
four tiles and plain-language problem screens that say what happened
and what to do.
.
Only the username `adb`, imported OpenSSH public keys and the exact
target 127.0.0.1:5037 work. SSH shell, PTY, SFTP/SCP, agent, X11 and
reverse forwarding are rejected, and the system SSH stays independent.
The tunnel runs as your user: closing the window keeps an enabled
tunnel running, and Start at sign-in brings it back after login.
.
Snap settings live separately under ~/snap/adb-ssh-tunnel and are
never migrated from the Debian package.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install adb-ssh-tunnel

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
