how to create interactive ssh terminal and enter commands from the browser using Node JS in a Meteor app

QUESTION

how to create interactive ssh terminal and enter commands from the browser using Node JS in a Meteor app

Asked 2020-May-06 at 09:46

I'm trying to create a web page where the user can authenticate to a remote server via ssh with username/password, and then interact with the remote server.

I'm not looking to create a full interactive terminal: the app server will execute a limited set of commands based on user input and then pass the responses back to the browser.

Different users should interact with different ssh sessions.

My app is built in Meteor 1.8.1, so the back end runs under Node JS, version 9.16.0. It's deployed to Ubuntu using Phusion Passenger.

I have looked at several packages that can create an interactive ssh session but I am missing something basic about how to use them.

For example https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2#start-an-interactive-shell-session

The example shows this code:

I got this working by following these instructions for creating an interactive terminal in the browser and these instructions for using socket.io with Meteor.

Both sets of instructions needed some updating due to changes in packages:

meteor-node-stubs now uses stream-http instead of http-browserify https://github.com/meteor/node-stubs/issues/14 so don't use the hack for socket
xterm addons (fit) are now separate packages
xterm API has changed, use term.onData(...) instead of term.on('data'...)

I used these packages:

ssh2

xterm

xterm-addon-fit

socket.io

socket.io-client

and also had to uninstall meteor-mode-stubs and reinstall it to get a recent version that doesn't rely on the Buffer polyfill.

Here's my code.

As of 0.4.0, we're trying our best to conform to the Airbnb Javascript Style Guide. I'm hoping this will make contributions easier and keep the code readable. I love shortcuts more than anyone but I've found when making changes to code I've not looked at in a while, it can take me a few momements to deconstruct what was being done due to readbility issues. While I don't agree with every decision in the style guide (semi-colons, yuk), it is a good base to keep the code consistent. If you've not used it before, I recommend installing the vscode extensions for that and Prettier and getting familiar. The autocorrections are great (especially if you hate dealing with semi-colons...). All contributions are welcome, all may not make it into a release... To increase the chances of your contribution making it into a release, try your best to conform to the style guides and targets of the project.
