wshterm is a terminal emulator for the browser.

wshterm combines hterm with a backend application to provide a terminal emulator for the browser. Communication is done via websockets.

Features

• Runs most CLI and TUI programs (haven't found one that didn't work yet)
• Ability to display images using the iTerm inline image escape sequences
• Supports resizing the terminal
• Run an arbitary command on connection.

It currently does not support SSL, it is currently expected that if you need SSL, you will put it behind a reverse proxy such as NGINX.

It currently does not drop priveleges. Don't run it as root. Use the provided ssh_local script if you want to authenticate.

Usage

Simply run as the user you want to run as, and specify a command to be executed.

sudo -u nobody wshterm ./ssh_local
