Webterminal agent for bert.bill

Overview

This is the Webterminal agent to be used with bert.bill.

This agent allows the app's xtermjs Webterminal React component to connect to a local bash process on your computer.

You can get this Webterminal agent running either by:

• Install bertdotbill with pip install bertdotbill and running bill -aio, OR
  Cloning the bert.bill project, installing all requirements, and running python bertdotbill/app.py -aio
  Doing so will launch a local websocket that forwards keystrokes to a bash process on your system
• Running the pre-built docker image:
  docker run -it --name webterminal --rm -p 10001:10001 berttejeda/bill-webterminal
• Running docker-compose up -d from this project

Either of the commands above will start the websocket and bash process on localhost:10001, but you can change the port if you like.

You can then connect to the agent through the bert.bill web app.
