Webssh
Webssh is a browser-based remote shell and SSH gateway interface. It functions as a web-based SSH client and terminal emulator, allowing users to establish secure shell connections to remote servers and execute commands directly through a web browser without a local terminal client.
The service supports remote server administration using password or public-key authentication. It allows for automated session startup and configuration by passing connection details, terminal settings, and initial commands through browser URL query parameters.
The system provides a resizable terminal interface that supports custom color schemes, window resizing, and fullscreen mode. It can be deployed as a standalone web service or hosted behind a reverse proxy.
Features
