tributary VS webssh

Having worked on "Dagger", you may be interested in https://github.com/timkpaine/tributary

I'm trying to be able to automatically connect to SSH in the browser via just a URL. I've got https://github.com/huashengdun/webssh running, and I can pass a lot of it via query parameters, except the private key.

I am creating a web application where i want to open ssh terminal (https://github.com/huashengdun/webssh) with an event listener on frontend and spawn() method in backend nodejs. I built an api to trigger that command from front-end but the problem is that the it's returning stderr which is fine but how can i handle that in my frontend as i want to show the terminal in but my api is not giving any response. Is there any other way to make this script.

This is my nodejs file where i am passing data from axios and executing the wssh command to start the webssh.

const child = spawn('wssh', [\${body.cert_option}`, `${body.key_option}`, `--log-file-prefix=/var/www/html/myPanel/logs/terminal.log`]); child.stdout.on('data', (data) => { console.log(`stdout: ${data}`); return res.status(500).json({ success: 0, data: data }); }) child.stderr.on('data', (data) => { console.log(`stderr: ${data}`); return res.status(200).json({ success: 1, data: data }); }); child.on('error', (error) => { console.log(`error: ${error}`); return res.status(500).json({ success: 0, message: "SSH connection error", error: error }); }); child.on('exit', (code, signal) => { if (code) { console.log(`child process exited with code ${code}`); } if (signal) { console.log(`child process exited with signal ${signal}`); } }); });`

PS: my project is not completely on nodejs, only the api.

So here is something i want to create like this (source: aapanel):

As mentioned by others, this isn't a good but is doable. Here is how: * install https://github.com/huashengdun/webssh on the web servers / applications behind your ALB * add OIDC authentication to the ALB tier for the URL you are exposing the web SSH client under (optional but recommended). This limits access to the web client

Perhaps WebSSH?
