Termi — Self-Hosted SSH, SCP, RDP & VNC Web Client

Termi is a free, open-source, self-hosted server management platform that gives you SSH, SCP/SFTP, RDP, and VNC access to your servers directly from your browser or a native desktop app — with AES-256-GCM encryption, TOTP two-factor authentication, and passkey login built in.

If you're searching for a self-hosted web-based SSH client, a browser SSH terminal, a remote desktop (RDP/VNC) web gateway, or a privacy-first alternative to SaaS terminal tools, Termi is built for exactly that.

What is Termi?

Termi replaces a drawer full of separate tools — a terminal app, an SFTP client, an RDP client, a VNC viewer, a password manager for server credentials — with one self-hosted app you control. Your credentials, session history, and server inventory live on your own PostgreSQL database, not a third-party cloud.

It runs three ways:

  • In the browser — a full Progressive Web App (PWA), installable on desktop and mobile
  • As a native desktop app — for macOS, Windows, and Linux (built with Electron)
  • Self-hosted with Docker Compose — one command, your own server, your own data
