.SH Examples
.PP
ttyd starts web server at port 7681 by default, you can use the \-p option to change it, the command will be started with arguments as options. For example, run:

.PP
.RS

.nf
ttyd \-p 8080 bash \-x

.fi
.RE

.PP
Then open
\[la]http://localhost:8080\[ra] with a browser, you will get a bash shell with debug mode enabled. More examples:
.IP \(bu 2
If you want to login with your system accounts on the web browser, run \fB\fCttyd login\fR\&.
.IP \(bu 2
You can even run a none shell command like vim, try: \fB\fCttyd vim\fR, the web browser will show you a vim editor.
.IP \(bu 2
Sharing single process with multiple clients: \fB\fCttyd tmux new \-A \-s ttyd vim\fR, run \fB\fCtmux new \-A \-s ttyd\fR to connect to the tmux session from terminal.


.SH SSL how\-to
.PP
Generate SSL CA and self signed server/client certificates:

.PP
.RS

.nf
# CA certificate (FQDN must be different from server/client)
openssl genrsa \-out ca.key 4096
openssl req \-new \-x509 \-days 365 \-key ca.key \-out ca.crt
# server certificate
openssl req \-newkey rsa:2048 \-nodes \-keyout server.key \-out server.csr
openssl x509 \-req \-days 365 \-in server.csr \-CA ca.crt \-CAkey ca.key \-set\_serial 01 \-out server.crt
# client certificate (the p12/pem format may be useful for some clients)
openssl req \-newkey rsa:2048 \-nodes \-keyout client.key \-out client.csr
openssl x509 \-req \-days 365 \-in client.csr \-CA ca.crt \-CAkey ca.key \-set\_serial 02 \-out client.crt
openssl pkcs12 \-export \-clcerts \-in client.crt \-inkey client.key \-out client.p12
openssl pkcs12 \-in client.p12 \-out client.pem \-clcerts

.fi
.RE

.PP
Then start ttyd:

.PP
.RS

.nf
ttyd \-\-ssl \-\-ssl\-cert server.crt \-\-ssl\-key server.key \-\-ssl\-ca ca.crt bash

.fi
.RE

.PP
You may want to test the client certificate verification with \fIcurl\fP(1):

.PP
.RS

.nf
curl \-\-insecure \-\-cert client.p12[:password] \-v https://localhost:7681

.fi
.RE

.PP
If you don't want to enable client certificate verification, remove the \fB\fC\-\-ssl\-ca\fR option.


.SH Docker and ttyd
.PP
Docker containers are jailed environments which are more secure, this is useful for protecting the host system, you may use ttyd with docker like this:
.IP \(bu 2
Sharing single docker container with multiple clients: docker run \-it \-\-rm \-p 7681:7681 tsl0922/ttyd.
.IP \(bu 2
Creating new docker container for each client: ttyd docker run \-it \-\-rm ubuntu.

- If you want to login with your system accounts on the web browser, run `ttyd login`.
- You can even run a none shell command like vim, try: `ttyd vim`, the web browser will show you a vim editor.
- Sharing single process with multiple clients: `ttyd tmux new -A -s ttyd vim`, run `tmux new -A -s ttyd` to connect to the tmux session from terminal.

# SSL how-to
Generate SSL CA and self signed server/client certificates:

```
# CA certificate (FQDN must be different from server/client)
openssl genrsa -out ca.key 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt
# server certificate
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 01 -out server.crt
# client certificate (the p12/pem format may be useful for some clients)
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout client.key -out client.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 02 -out client.crt
openssl pkcs12 -export -clcerts -in client.crt -inkey client.key -out client.p12
openssl pkcs12 -in client.p12 -out client.pem -clcerts
```

Then start ttyd:

```
ttyd --ssl --ssl-cert server.crt --ssl-key server.key --ssl-ca ca.crt bash
```

You may want to test the client certificate verification with *curl*(1):

```
curl --insecure --cert client.p12[:password] -v https://localhost:7681
```

If you don't want to enable client certificate verification, remove the `--ssl-ca` option.

# Docker and ttyd
Docker containers are jailed environments which are more secure, this is useful for protecting the host system, you may use ttyd with docker like this:

- Sharing single docker container with multiple clients: docker run -it --rm -p 7681:7681 tsl0922/ttyd.
- Creating new docker container for each client: ttyd docker run -it --rm ubuntu.
