About WeTTY

WeTTY puts a terminal session in a browser tab, served over HTTP or HTTPS. You run the server yourself, and it gives you a shell or an SSH connection through a web page, so you can reach a machine from any device with a browser and no terminal client installed.

It is written in TypeScript for Node.js, and the repository includes Docker files and a docker-compose example. The project describes itself as an alternative to older web terminals such as Ajaxterm and Anyterm.

Strengths

  • Terminal access from any browser without a local SSH client
  • Works over HTTPS
  • Docker and docker-compose files included

Limitations

  • You have to run and secure the server yourself
  • Exposing a shell on the web needs careful access control
