gotty VS wetty

(FYI: A fun manual remote terminal. Totally insecure, but fun.)

Thank you for all the suggestions. I tried some of these and decided to go with GoTTY: https://github.com/yudai/gotty

GoTTY: Share your terminal as a web application Caddy

I love the command line and I am not fan of HTML. I recently learned about web terminals ( gotty ), got excited and I thought to myself: couldn't it be a new (old!) paradigm for web apps? This would be especially useful for back office, administration tasks.

It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea - https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote - https://github.com/insanum/sncli - https://github.com/visit1985/mdp - https://github.com/astefanutti/decktape - https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli - https://github.com/pimutils/khal - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ - https://github.com/zquestz/s - https://github.com/yudai/gotty - https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer - https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in - https://github.com/schachmat/wego - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

There are programs like gotty that can show terminal output in a webpage. Some alternatives, https://alternativeto.net/software/gotty/ Like ttyd looks promising as well.

Dockerfile root@picard:~/Projects/gotty# more Dockerfile FROM library/busybox as downloader ADD https://github.com/yudai/gotty/releases/latest/download/gotty_linux_amd64.tar.gz /download/gotty.tar.gz RUN cd /download \ && tar -xf /download/gotty.tar.gz \ && chmod a+x /download/gotty FROM library/alpine:latest RUN apk add libc6-compat COPY --from=downloader /download/gotty /usr/local/bin/gotty CMD /usr/local/bin/gotty

I'm not actually using a library I wrote or am working on, I'm hoping to use gotty on this server, which has been setup for go get and does work when I run the same commands in the bash script manually after ssh'ing in, it just doesn't work when I run it from the command as a startup cloud-init script when the server is defined from terraform. Am I missing something?

WeTTY

I use wetty for a terminal in a browser. https://github.com/butlerx/wetty

You’re already running docker. Install Wetty. Works great. Make sure you have strong strong Auth though.

Can RGNets look into integrating Wetty, terminal over https (https://github.com/butlerx/wetty) where we can ssh to devices it manages from the fleet or the rXg itself without giving direct shell access to users.

ttyd is a nice little web terminal: https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd Just small, fast, low fuss C-based executable.

wetty is another good option if you want to run a nodejs app: https://github.com/butlerx/wetty

Both use xterm.js for the client terminal, which is these days the only game in town for a web terminal (it's what VS code and many other electron apps use too). It's quite good.

Do be aware though that running a web-accessible terminal is a huge security headache. You're opening up a websocket to effectively allow commands and code to run on your server. Pay attention to security and authentication options any web terminal gives you, and use them. Most are not very secure out of the box or just following their readme examples.

Do you mean something like Wetty?

Hello, does anyone know of an open source project/web app/library, written in Haskell, that makes terminal interface accessible via browser? An example of what I'd like to achieve: Start R repl process withing a docker container on the backend (e.g. `docker run -it --rm rocker/r-base`) and allow user to interact with it using terminal-like interface from their browser (with stuff like TAB completion working etc.) It seems that xterm.js is a popular choice to implement the client side of such a thing, but I'm looking for some inspiration of how a backend of such an application could be implemented in Haskell. Examples in other languages that do similar thing to what I'd like: Go: https://github.com/yudai/gotty Typescript: https://github.com/butlerx/wetty
