Shellinabox Web browser-based terminal emulator

1. Shellinabox Introduction

Shellinabox is a Web browser-based remote terminal emulator built using Ajax technology, which means that after the software is installed, the server side does not need to open the SSH service, the remote host can be operated through a Web browser, but your web browser needs to support ajax/ JavaScript and CSS, so you can use http://localhost:4200 to log in to your system, and SSL/TLS certificates are enabled by default and require https://localhost:4200 to log in.

By default, Shellinabox uses port 4200 of the TCP protocol, so if your system has a firewall enabled, please release Port 4200.
