Wetty = Web + tty ----------------- Terminal over HTTP and HTTPS. Wetty is an alternative to ajaxterm/anyterm but much better than them because wetty uses ChromeOS' terminal emulator (hterm) which is a full fledged implementation of terminal emulation written entirely in Javascript. Also it uses websockets instead of Ajax and hence better response time. hterm source - https://chromium.googlesource.com/apps/libapps/+/master/hterm/ ![Wetty](/terminal.png?raw=true) Install ------- * `git clone https://github.com/krishnasrinivas/wetty` * `cd wetty` * `npm install` Run on HTTP: ----------- node app.js -p 3000 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`. If instead you wish to connect to a remote host you can specify the `--sshhost` option, the SSH port using the `--sshport` option and the SSH user using the `--sshuser` option. You can also specify the SSH user name in the address bar like this: `http://yourserver:3000/wetty/ssh/` Run on HTTPS: ------------ Always use HTTPS! If you don't have SSL certificates from a CA you can create a self signed certificate using this command: `openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 30000 -nodes` And then run: node app.js --sslkey key.pem --sslcert cert.pem -p 3000 Again, if you run it as root it will launch `/bin/login`, else it will launch SSH to `localhost` or a specified host as explained above. Run wetty behind nginx: ---------------------- Put the following configuration in nginx's conf: location /wetty { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000/wetty; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_read_timeout 43200000; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; } If you are running `app.js` as `root` and have an Nginx proxy you have to use: http://yourserver.com/wetty Else if you are running `app.js` as a regular user you have to use: http://yourserver.com/wetty/ssh/ **Note that if your Nginx is configured for HTTPS you should run wetty without SSL.** Dockerized Version ------------------ This repo includes a Dockerfile you can use to run a Dockerized version of wetty. You can run whatever you want! Just do: ``` docker run --name term -p 3000 -dt krishnasrinivas/wetty ``` Visit the appropriate URL in your browser (`[localhost|$(boot2docker ip)]:PORT`). The username is `term` and the password is `term`. Run wetty as a service daemon ----------------------------- Install wetty globally with -g option: ```bash $ sudo npm install wetty -g $ sudo cp /usr/local/lib/node_modules/wetty/bin/wetty.conf /etc/init $ sudo start wetty ``` This will start wetty on port 3000. If you want to change the port or redirect stdout/stderr you should change the last line in `wetty.conf` file, something like this: exec sudo -u root wetty -p 80 >> /var/log/wetty.log 2>&1
