webexec

Test

webexec is a terminal server running over WebRTC with support for signaling over SSH or HTTP. Webexec listens for connection requests, executes commands over pseudo ttys and pipes their I/O over WebRTC data channels.

webexec is currently single session - each client that authenticates has access to the same payload. In the case of Terminal7, our first client, it contains the layout of the panes.

webexec exposes TCP port 7777 by default, to support signalling. There's a single endpoint /connect: The client exchanges tokens with the server and then initiates a WebRTC connection.

Install

This repo inscludes a one-line installer for installing on Mac & Linux. To use to install the latest version it run bash -c "$(curl -sL https://get.webexec.sh)".

From Source

$ go install ./...

Ports Used

webexec has a signlaing server that listen for connection request on ports 7777. By default it listens only for localhost. To open webexec to the world set the http_server under [net] in the config file to 0.0.0.0:7777.

Once communication is established, WebRTC uses UDP ports with a default range of 60000-61000. If you prefer another range you can set the udp_port_min and udp_port_max in the [net] section of the conf file and webexec restart.

When running on cloud providers you'll need to set the firewall rules to allow traffic from any address to tcp port 7777 and UDP range 60000-61000 (same as mosh).
