Terminal — Browser-Based SSH Manager

An in-browser SSH terminal and server management tool for teams that manage multiple bare-metal servers. Features a web-based terminal emulator, session recording for audit, a file browser, and one-command execution across server groups. Designed for small ops teams that want a lightweight alternative to cloud-hosted solutions. The result: a lightweight, auditable alternative for small teams to manage servers from the browser.

Highlights

Browser-based terminal with full emulation
Session recording and replay for audit compliance
Broadcast commands across server groups simultaneously

The Problem

Small ops teams managing multiple bare-metal servers lacked a lightweight, browser-based alternative to expensive cloud solutions. SSH key management was scattered, session logging was non-existent, and running commands across server groups meant manual repetition.

Approach

Concurrent session pooling for parallel server connections
Real-time bidirectional terminal I/O over persistent connections
Full terminal emulation rendered in the browser
Session recording storage for audit and replay

Results

Full terminal emulation in the browser with <100ms latency
Session recording for compliance and post-incident analysis
One-command broadcast to deploy across 30+ servers simultaneously
