sshx
A secure web-based, collaborative terminal.
Features:
- Run a single command to share your terminal with anyone.
- Resize, move windows, and freely zoom and pan on an infinite canvas.
- See other people's cursors moving in real time.
- Connect to the nearest server in a globally distributed mesh.
- End-to-end encryption with Argon2 and AES.
- Automatic reconnection and real-time latency estimates.
- Predictive echo for faster local editing (à la Mosh).

Installation
Just run this command to get the sshx
binary for your platform.
curl -sSf https://sshx.io/get | sh
Supports Linux and MacOS, on both x86_64 and arm64 architectures. The precompiled Linux binaries are statically linked.
CI/CD
You can also use sshx in continuous integration workflows to help debug tricky issues, like in GitHub Actions.
name: CI
on: push
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
# ... other steps ...
- run: curl -sSf https://sshx.io/get | sh && sshx
# ^
# └ This will open a remote terminal session and print the URL. It
# should take under a second.
We don't have a prepackaged action because it's just a single command. It works anywhere: GitLab CI, CircleCI, CI on your Raspberry Pi, etc.
Development
Here's how to work on the project, if you want to contribute.
Building from source
To build the latest version of the client from source, clone this repository and run, with Rust installed:
cargo install --path crates/sshx
This will compile the sshx
binary and place it in your ~/.cargo/bin
folder.
Workflow
First, start service containers for development.
docker compose up -d
Install Rust 1.70+, Node v18, NPM v9, and mprocs. Then, run
npm install
mprocs
This will compile and start the server, an instance of the client, and the web frontend in parallel on your machine.
Deployment
The application servers are deployed on Fly.io.
