web terminal based on xterm.js in rust
|

# Is it any good?

# How does it work?
|
|
|
|
There is a rust backend based [Actix], consisting of two actors:
|
|
* `Websocket` implements a websocket that speaks the [Terminado] protocol
|
|
* `Terminal` handles communication to a child spawned on a PTY using [tokio-pty-process].
|
|
|
|
The frontend is a static HTML page served by [actix-web][Actix] providing an [xterm.js] UI.

# Local development
|
|
```
|
|
cargo build
|
|
cargo run
|
|
```
|
|
Then head to `http://localhost:8080/` to see it in action!
|
|
|
|
# Should I run this on the internet?
|
|
|
|
Probably not. It lets anyone who can access the webpage control your system.
