  • Concept of a webbased Open-Source SSH client

    I’ve worked with WebSSH2 in the past. Worked well for me. It’s a little tricky to set it up behind a reverse proxy.
  • We need better support for SSH host certificates

    You may need to do some more research. SSHD can run on an HTTP port, but why bundle a web server and additional protocols into something? There are web based ssh clients - https://github.com/billchurch/webssh2 - simple google search.

    Plenty of "neckbeards" understand containers and probably understand the underlying technologies (cgroups, etc) as well as comparable (or historical) approaches (jails, zones, etc) better than most.

    But, because something doesn't cater to your whims, must complicate things that actually work.
