About:
ttyd is a command-line tool that shares your terminal over the web using WebSockets. It provides a fully functional terminal emulator accessible from any modern browser, supporting multiple sessions and various terminal emulators. This makes it a lightweight and secure alternative to traditional remote access methods like SSH for browser-based access.

Key Features:

Web-based terminal emulator
SSL/TLS encryption support
Multiple terminal emulators (xterm.js, hterm)
Basic HTTP authentication
Share terminal sessions via URL

Use Cases:

Remote debugging and server management from restricted networks
Live terminal demonstrations and tutorials
Providing temporary shell access to support staff
Educational environments for teaching command-line tools

Alternatives:

wetty – Similar web-based terminal functionality, often deployed as a full web application
ssh – Traditional secure shell access, requires native client but offers better performance
gotty – Similar purpose, but ttyd is written in C++ and generally more lightweight
