You can encode your server configuration to a QR Code.
-
Put your configuration together like this:
method:password@hostname:port
-
Transform it into base64:
bWV0aG9kOnBhc3N3b3JkQGhvc3RuYW1lOnBvcnQ=
-
Prepend with
ss://
ss://bWV0aG9kOnBhc3N3b3JkQGhvc3RuYW1lOnBvcnQ=
-
Generate a QR Code from the url above.
You can also generate QR Codes from some GUI clients:
pip install qrcode
echo -n "ss://"`echo -n aes-256-cfb:password@1.2.3.4:8388 | base64` | qr
If you can't scan the code, try changing your terminal font.
