ssh

SSH Client Example

Browser-based SSH client. Connects to remote servers via a WebSocket-to-SSH bridge using ssh2.

Setup

From the monorepo root:

pnpm install
zig build
pnpm --filter ssh dev

Opens at ssh-example.wterm.localhost via portless.

How It Works

• server.ts starts an HTTP + WebSocket server alongside Next.js
• The browser sends SSH connection params (host, port, username, auth) as the first WebSocket message
• The server opens an SSH connection and pipes the shell stream to/from the WebSocket
• Supports password and private key authentication
