WeTTY is a Web-based terminal emulator that allows users to interact with their Linux systems using a web browser. In this tutorial, we will be looking at how to install WeTTY on Debian.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following on your Debian system:
To install WeTTY, we need to first clone the repository from GitHub. Navigate to your desired directory and clone using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/butlerx/wetty.git
Once the clone process is complete, navigate into the wetty directory:
cd wetty
The next step is to install the required Node.js packages for WeTTY. This can be done using the npm package manager. Run the following command:
npm install
The installation process is now complete, and you can start the WeTTY service by using the following command:
npm start -- --port 3000
This will start WeTTY on port 3000. You can replace the 3000 with any other port you wish to use.
Now that WeTTY is running, you can access it using your web browser. Open your browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip:3000, where your-server-ip is the IP address of your Debian system.
You will be prompted to log in, just like with a regular Linux terminal. Enter the username and password for the user with which you want to log in.
That's it! You now have WeTTY successfully installed and running on your Debian system. Enjoy!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
