Terminal Icon Extension for Plesk

This is a simple extension that adds an icon to the user's control panel for web-based SSH access via Shell in a Box. It is designed to be used in conjunction with Shell in a Box.

For instructions on installing Shell in a Box as a Docker container, refer to the documentation.

Requirements

• Plesk 17.0.17 or higher
• Docker extension
• A Shell in a Box instance

Note: While Docker is not required (you can install Shell in a Box locally or on a remote server), the instructions related to this extension describe how to use it with a Shell in a Box Docker instance.

Installation

Install from Distribution ZIP

This is the easiest method to install the extension.

1. Install Shell in a Box
2. Download the distribution ZIP of this extension and install. DO NOT download the source ZIP or clone by itself - it will not work without doing some extra steps (see below).
3. Enter your Shell in a Box URL in the extension settings.

See the wiki for detailed instructions.

Install from Source

If you prefer to install from source:

1. Download the source or clone the repo
2. Change directory to the extracted/cloned extension
3. Run the following commands to create an installable ZIP file:

npm install
gulp
npm run zip

The last command will create a file named terminal-icon-{version}.zip in the parent directory.
