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
