“Rerun job with SSH” sessions can now be opened right from the CircleCI web app.

You no longer need a local terminal, a copied IP address, or any allowlisting on your workstation.

What’s new

• One address, one trusted host key. Connect with ssh ssh.circleci.com instead of a different IP and port for every job. You’ll no longer get a “do you trust this host?” warning on each SSH re-run.
• Works from restrictive networks. Connect on port 22 or 443, at fixed IP addresses your security team can allowlist.
• Same keys, same tools, or just your browser. Keep using plain ssh and your existing CircleCI SSH keys, with nothing new to install. scp, sftp and port forwarding (ssh -L) still work, including in images that have no SSH tools. You can also open a terminal into the job straight from the job page.
