Terminal2 is a modern web based terminal.
NOTE Terminal2 has only been tested on Arch Linux. It is designed to work on most linux distros. It will not work on Windows or MacOS.
- Git clone the terminal repository.
git clone - Build the terminal server.
go build - Install frontend dependencies.
npm install
Once Terminal2 is built, it is ready to go. You can simply run the terminal2 executable and navigate to 127.0.0.1:4100. If you would like to install terminal as a daemon check out the terminal2.service file.
Terminal2 provides command-line options for configuration:
--database <path> sets the location of the SQLite3 database.
--bind <address> sets the bind address for the webserver. Ex. 127.0.0.1:3000
--webdir <path> sets the location of the static web files.
--shell <shell> sets the shell which terminal2 will use.
NOTE the command-line options are also exposed as environment variables with the same name prefixed with TERMINALTWO_ and all uppercase. (--var would be TERMINALTWO_VAR).
The terminal2 executable doubles as a CLI for terminal2 sessions. The executable is automatically exposed in the PATH of any terminal2 session. CLI options:
--download <file> downloads a file through the browser.
--theme <id> changes the theme.
Themes are currently only configurable through manually editing the SQLite3 database. Themes are changed using the CLI, described here.
Upload works by simply dropping a file into the terminal window. This will upload the file to the current directory. Note that upload will never overwrite a file, if it already exists in the directory it will append a modifier to the filename.
Download works by running a CLI command, described here.
