About Sshwifty
Sshwifty is a web application you host yourself that lets you open SSH and Telnet sessions from a browser. The server is written in Go with a JavaScript interface, and you configure it with a JSON file. Presets let you define servers in advance so users can connect quickly.
The repository includes a Dockerfile and a docker-compose example. It suits people who need to reach servers from machines where they cannot install an SSH client.
