WeTTY

WeTTY is a web terminal that lets you access SSH sessions directly from a browser. It runs as a small Node.js web app and bridges the browser to SSH, making it useful for lightweight remote administration without installing a local SSH client.

Key Features:

• Browser-based SSH terminal UI for interactive shell access
• Uses a local SSH client under the hood to connect to remote hosts
• Optional HTTP authentication to protect access to the web terminal
• Supports connection presets/parameters via URL options (useful behind portals)
• Reverse-proxy friendly deployment (commonly used behind Nginx/Traefik)
• Container-friendly setup (commonly deployed via Docker)

Use Cases:

• Provide “jump host” terminal access from a web portal for admins/operators
• Embedded terminal access in internal tools, dashboards, or support environments
• Quick remote access from locked-down machines where installing SSH clients is not possible

Limitations and Considerations

• Exposing SSH in a browser increases security risk; it should be tightly access-controlled and ideally placed behind SSO/VPN/reverse-proxy auth.
• Feature set is intentionally minimal compared to full remote access gateways (audit, session recording, RBAC depend on external components).

WeTTY is a practical, lightweight way to deliver SSH access over the web with minimal infrastructure. It fits best for small teams or internal environments that need a simple web terminal front-end while keeping SSH as the underlying transport.
