Remote Terminal Host

Securely broadcast your local terminal over the web. This tool spawns a local terminal instance and exposes it via a secure, temporary web interface using localtunnel, protected by an ephemeral token.

Features

• Secure by Default: Generates a random JWT token for each session.
• Web-Based Terminal: Sleek, modern interface using xterm.js with responsive resizing.
• Zero Config: Automatically uses localtunnel to create a public URL.
• Cross-Platform: Uses powershell.exe on Windows and bash elsewhere.

Installation

npm install

Usage

Start the server:

npm start

Or run directly:

node bin/index.js

Upon starting, the server will provide a secure URL with an embedded token. Open this URL on any device to access your terminal remotely.

Security

• The session is protected by a JWT token generated uniquely every time the server starts.
• The token expires after 4 hours.
