tmate exposes an ssh server, i.e: ssh PMhmes4XeKQyBR2JtvnQt6BJw@nyc1.tmate.io

web-based is a nice idea, but it's not as fast and bandwidth-saving as connecting via an ssh client

i believe supporting SSH server exposion will make sshx much better than tmate

@uxtstr23 what do you mean by expose an ssh server? you can still do with do with sshx.

@natarajan0007 i found no such feature in sshx --help.

@ekzhang how?

ekzhang commented

Cool idea! I think this is unlikely to be possible without significant internal changes though given the architecture of sshx — which operates entirely over Layer 7 load balancing.

Also, I can't detect people's cursors, move terminals around on the canvas, and share changes over a terminal-based client, so the experience would not be as good.

i totally agree with you

don't worry, that's the "acceptable" limit of terminal-based client

i think sshx should cover different 2 usecases:

  1. web ui is really awesome for someone who want full-featured (and must have fast enough internet connection) that you've made very well
  2. terminal-based client is extremely useful for people who want a ssh server only
