# NAME
ttyd - Share your terminal over the web
# SYNOPSIS
**ttyd** [options] \<command\> [\<arguments...\>]
# Description
ttyd is a command-line tool for sharing terminal over the web that runs in *nix and windows systems, with the following features:
- Built on top of Libwebsockets with C for speed
- Fully-featured terminal based on Xterm.js with CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and IME support
- SSL support based on OpenSSL
- Run any custom command with options
- Basic authentication support and many other custom options
- Cross platform: macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenWrt/LEDE, Windows
# OPTIONS
-p, --port <port>
Port to listen (default: 7681, use `0` for random port)
-i, --interface <interface>
Network interface to bind (eg: eth0), or UNIX domain socket path (eg: /var/run/ttyd.sock)
-c, --credential USER[:PASSWORD]
Credential for Basic Authentication (format: username:password)
-u, --uid <uid>
User id to run with
-g, --gid <gid>
Group id to run with
-s, --signal <signal string>
Signal to send to the command when exit it (default: SIGHUP)
--signal-list
Print a list of supported signals
-r, --reconnect <seconds>
Time to reconnect for the client in seconds (default: 10)
-R, --readonly
Do not allow clients to write to the TTY
-t, --client-option <key=value>
Send option to client (format: key=value), repeat to add more options
-O, --check-origin
Do not allow websocket connection from different origin
-m, --max-clients
Maximum clients to support (default: 0, no limit)
-o, --once
Accept only one client and exit on disconnection
-B, --browser
Open terminal with the default system browser
-I, --index <index file>
Custom index.html path
-S, --ssl
Enable SSL
-C, --ssl-cert <cert path>
SSL certificate file path
-K, --ssl-key <key path>
SSL key file path
-A, --ssl-ca <ca path>
SSL CA file path for client certificate verification
-d, --debug <level>
Set log level (default: 7)
-v, --version
Print the version and exit
-h, --help
Print this text and exit
# Examples
ttyd starts web server at port 7681 by default, you can use the -p option to change it, the command will be started with arguments as options. For example, run:
```
ttyd -p 8080 bash -x
```
Then open http://localhost:8080 with a browser, you will get a bash shell with debug mode enabled. More examples:
- If you want to login with your system accounts on the web browser, run `ttyd login`.
- You can even run a none shell command like vim, try: `ttyd vim`, the web browser will show you a vim editor.
- Sharing single process with multiple clients: `ttyd tmux new -A -s ttyd vim`, run `tmux new -A -s ttyd` to connect to the tmux session from terminal.
# SSL how-to
Generate SSL CA and self signed server/client certificates:
```
# CA certificate (FQDN must be different from server/client)
openssl genrsa -out ca.key 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt
# server certificate
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 01 -out server.crt
# client certificate (the p12/pem format may be useful for some clients)
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout client.key -out client.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 02 -out client.crt
openssl pkcs12 -export -clcerts -in client.crt -inkey client.key -out client.p12
openssl pkcs12 -in client.p12 -out client.pem -clcerts
```
Then start ttyd:
```
ttyd --ssl --ssl-cert server.crt --ssl-key server.key --ssl-ca ca.crt bash
```
You may want to test the client certificate verification with *curl*(1):
```
curl --insecure --cert client.p12[:password] -v https://localhost:7681
```
If you don't want to enable client certificate verification, remove the `--ssl-ca` option.
# Docker and ttyd
Docker containers are jailed environments which are more secure, this is useful for protecting the host system, you may use ttyd with docker like this:
- Sharing single docker container with multiple clients: docker run -it --rm -p 7681:7681 tsl0922/ttyd.
- Creating new docker container for each client: ttyd docker run -it --rm ubuntu.
