I'm just curious I'm working on a plugin that I want to be able to embed a terminal connected to a host so I can both work in the plugin as well as have terminal access to the host. I know you can go directly to the host and use the terminal there and such but eventually, I'll be doing multi-host interaction and it would be great to be able to embed a terminal for each host into my application to see/interact with both at the same time. Is this something that is possible? Currently, I'm just trying to make a custom react component to emulate a terminal. |

What we use is just xterm.js (or even just patternfly console) as user facing interface and cockpit.channel for communication with the host. You can specify |
