SSH client

[markus-li]

Have you considered adding an SSH client? I haven't tested any running 100% in the browser, the ones I've used involve the host and runs through a websocket. One direct SSH client I know of is FireSSH, but that is (was) Firefox specific. Now it doesn't even work in Firefox anymore.
Another is SSHy, but it's not maintained it seems, maybe there's a fork somewhere being maintained?

I think I gave it a brief thought but my main issue with the network connected apps is they require a connection that typically isn't possibly without a WebSocket proxy. I would like to do it and I will add this to my feature requests to do list. I just need to think of a way to avoid doing anything in the backend as my goal is client side only. I would be fine if it was possible to use something already public with CORS/WebSocket allowed. Thanks for the comment!

@DustinBrett Why not just use the relay.widgetry.org websocket proxy and implement a DHCP client via WebAssembly?

[DustinBrett]

Well that sounds like a cool idea indeed. Any suggestions where to begin for something like that? That server is indeed the one I use for v86, but I haven't thought much about expanding it's use and definitely hadn't thought of a DHCP client or anything like that. Looking at the code for ttyd, I think at least for SSH, this could be an option I could add to my Terminal. But expanding WebSocket proxy use would also be cool. Then I'd need a systray for the networking info. :-)

Not sure how, currently working on a TCP relay that will allow access to a whitelist of servers via websockets. Once I have a working server, I'll create a demo.

Sorry if the directory index is strange, I manually created it rather than using a package that would provide it.

@DustinBrett Would it be possible to use SSH via a relay like that?
