# ttyd - Share your terminal over the web [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/tsl0922/ttyd.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/tsl0922/ttyd)
ttyd is a simple command-line tool for sharing terminal over the web, inspired by [GoTTY][1].

# Features
- Built on top of [Libwebsockets][2] with C for speed
- Full terminal emulation based on [Xterm.js][3] with CJK and IME support
- SSL support based on [OpenSSL][4]
- Run any custom command with options
- Basic authentication support and many other custom options
- Cross platform: macOS, Linux, [OpenWrt][5]/[LEDE][6]
# Installation
## Install on macOS
Install with [homebrew][7]:
```bash
brew install ttyd
```
## Install on Linux
Ubuntu 16.04 as example:
```bash
sudo apt-get install cmake g++ pkg-config git vim-common libwebsockets-dev libjson-c-dev libssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd.git
cd ttyd && mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make && make install
```
> **NOTE:** You may need to compile libwebsockets from source for ubuntu versions old than 16.04, since they have outdated `libwebsockets-dev` package ([Issue #6][9]).
## Install on OpenWrt/LEDE
```bash
opkg install ttyd
```
> **NOTE:** This may only works for [LEDE][6] snapshots currently, if the install command fails, compile it yourself.
# Usage
```
ttyd is a tool for sharing terminal over the web
USAGE:
ttyd [options] <command> [<arguments...>]
VERSION:
1.2.0
OPTIONS:
--port, -p Port to listen (default: 7681, use `0` for random port)
--interface, -i Network interface to bind
--credential, -c Credential for Basic Authentication (format: username:password)
--uid, -u User id to run with
--gid, -g Group id to run with
--signal, -s Signal to send to the command when exit it (default: SIGHUP)
--reconnect, -r Time to reconnect for the client in seconds (default: 10)
--readonly, -R Do not allow clients to write to the TTY
--client-option, -t Send option to client (format: key=value), repeat to add more options
--check-origin, -O Do not allow websocket connection from different origin
--once, -o Accept only one client and exit on disconnection
--ssl, -S Enable ssl
--ssl-cert, -C Ssl certificate file path
--ssl-key, -K Ssl key file path
--ssl-ca, -A Ssl ca file path
--debug, -d Set log level (0-9, default: 7)
--version, -v Print the version and exit
--help, -h Print this text and exit
```
ttyd starts web server at port `7681` by default, the `command` will be started with `arguments` as options. For example, run:
```bash
ttyd bash
```
Then open <http://localhost:7681>, now you can see and control the `bash` console on your web broswer! :tada:
> **TIP:** You may replace `bash` with `login` to get a login prompt first.
