Terminal access in browser over http/https
Terminal over HTTP and https. WeTTY is an alternative to ajaxterm and anyterm but much better than them because WeTTY uses xterm.js which is a full fledged implementation of terminal emulation written entirely in JavaScript. WeTTY uses websockets rather than Ajax and hence better response time.

same origin [boolean]Open your browser on http://yourserver:3000/wetty and you will prompted to
login. Or go to http://yourserver:3000/wetty/ssh/<username> to specify the
user beforehand.
If you run it as root it will launch /bin/login (where you can specify the
user name), else it will launch ssh and connect by default to localhost. The
SSH connection can be forced using the --force-ssh option.
If instead you wish to connect to a remote host you can specify the --ssh-host
option, the SSH port using the --ssh-port option and the SSH user using the
--ssh-user option.
Check out the Flags docs for a full list of flags
To use WeTTY as a docker container, a docker image is available on docker hub. To run this image, use
docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 wettyoss/wetty --ssh-host=<YOUR-IP>and you will be able to open a ssh session to the host given by YOUR-IP under
the URL http://localhost:3000/wetty.
It is recommended to drive WeTTY behind a reverse proxy to have HTTPS security and possibly Let’s Encrypt support. Popular containers to achieve this are nginx-proxy and traefik. For traefik there is an example docker-compose file in the containers directory.

WeTTY supports all browsers that xterm.js supports.
