WeTTY is an open-source project that allows users to access a Linux terminal session from a web browser. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing WeTTY on MXLinux. Here are the steps you need to follow:
WeTTY requires Node.js to run. To install it, open the terminal on your MXLinux computer and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
This command will install Node.js and its package manager, npm, on your system.
The next step is to download WeTTY from its official website. To do this, open your web browser and go to https://butlerx.github.io/wetty/#/. Click on the "Download" button to download the ZIP file.
Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the ZIP file to a folder on your computer.
In the terminal, navigate to the folder where you extracted the WeTTY files. Use the following command to install WeTTY:
npm install
This command will install all the required dependencies for WeTTY. Once the installation is complete, start WeTTY by running this command:
node app.js -p 3000
Here, "-p 3000" means that WeTTY will run on port 3000. You can change this to any other port number if you want.
WeTTY is now running on your computer. To access it, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000. This will take you to the WeTTY login page. Enter your username and password to log in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WeTTY on MXLinux. Now you can access a Linux terminal session from anywhere, using just a web browser.
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!
