# tty-web

Web-based terminal emulator. Opens a real PTY in the browser over WebSocket.

![demo](demo.gif)

## Features

- Real PTY with full job control, signals, and terminal capabilities
- Persistent sessions — reconnect without losing state
- Scrollback replay (configurable, 256 KiB default)
- Session sharing — multiple clients on one session
- View mode — read-only observers with automatic window size sync
- Lightweight binary WebSocket protocol
- Single static binary (frontend embedded via `rust-embed`)
- Multi-arch Docker images (`amd64` / `arm64`) — minimal scratch and playground variants

## Quick start

```bash
tty-web --address 127.0.0.1 --port 9090 --shell /bin/zsh
```

Or with Docker:

```bash
docker run --rm -p 9090:9090 ghcr.io/alviner/tty-web:playground
```

The default `latest` tag is a minimal scratch image for `COPY --from`:

```dockerfile
COPY --from=ghcr.io/alviner/tty-web:latest /tty-web /usr/local/bin/tty-web
```
