Natpass

Natpass is a web-based remote access gateway and orchestrator designed to manage remote server instances, desktop streaming, and cloud development environments through a browser. It functions as a centralized portal for executing shell commands and accessing graphical desktops on remote servers without the need for local clients.

The system includes a remote IDE host and a remote desktop streamer, enabling server-side development environments and the transmission of a remote machine's visual interface directly to a web browser. It also features a natural language documentation query tool for retrieving technical answers and specific excerpts from documentation via processing requests.

The project covers remote server administration and development workflows, providing browser-accessible terminal emulation and remote environment virtualization for cross-platform command execution.
