+---------+ websocket +--------+ ssh +-----------+

Features
--------

- SSH password authentication supported, including empty password.
- SSH public-key authentication supported, including DSA RSA ECDSA
Ed25519 keys.
- Encrypted keys supported.
- Fullscreen terminal supported.
- Terminal window resizable.
- Auto detect the ssh server's default encoding.

An example of config for running this app behind an Nginx server
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

::

location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_read_timeout 300;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Real-PORT $remote_port;
}

Tips
----

- Try to use Nginx as a front web server (see config example above) and
enable SSL, this will prevent your ssh credentials from being
uncovered. Also afterwards the communication between your browser and
the web server will be encrypted as they use secured websockets.
- Try to use reject policy as the missing host key policy along with
your verified known\_hosts, this will prevent man-in-the-middle
attacks. The idea is that it checks the system host keys
file("~/.ssh/known\_hosts") and the application host keys
file("./known\_hosts") in order, if the ssh server's hostname is not
found or the key is not matched, the connection will be aborted.
