websocket_terminal

A cross-platform python3 server that bridges either ssh or raw tcp to the browser via websocket.

Quickstart

1. Clone and start

git clone https://github.com/sorgloomer/websocket_terminal.git
cd websocket_terminal
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 websocket_terminal.py

2. Navigate browser

Open one of the following links in a browser:

Local ssh:

http://localhost:5002?kind=ssh&username=<username>&password=<password>

Remote ssh:

http://localhost:5002?kind=ssh&username=<username>&password=<password>&hostname=<ssh_hostname>

3. Enjoy

Remarks

Currently only password authentication is supported for ssh. The username and password is sent in plaintext via http or https in the default implementation!
