WeTTY

NOTE: i don't use WeTTY anymore, this page might get outdated over time.

WeTTY it's a web based terminal to your server.

Due to a bug in the latest version (2.7.0) (see issue here) you need to install 2.6.0.

First of all, you need sshpass for password login to work with WeTTY:

emerge sshpass

(doesnt seems to be working anyway)

Now, as usual, create a dedicated user since it's not safe to run WeTTY as root:

useradd -m wetty

Now install npm locally:

su - wetty
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/master/install.sh | bash
source .bashrc 
nvm install 20
npm -g i wetty@2.6.0
ssh-keygen

wetty.conf

location ^~ /wetty {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5522/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;
}

start:

wetty --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5522 --ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 --ssh-host localhost --ssh-user myuser --ssh-auth publickey
