hero: Terminal in a browser, baby! 💻
# Wetty
[Wetty](https://github.com/krishnasrinivas/wetty) is a responsive, modern terminal, in your web browser. Yes, your browser. When combined with secure authentication and SSL encryption, it becomes a useful tool for quick and easy remote access.

## Why would you need SSH in a browser window?
Need shell access to a node with no external access? Deploy Wetty behind an [oauth_proxy](/reference/oauth_proxy/) with a SSL-terminating reverse proxy ([traefik](/ha-docker-swarm/traefik/)), and suddenly you have the means to SSH to your private host from any web browser (_protected by your [oauth_proxy](/reference/oauth_proxy/) of course, and your OAuth provider's 2FA_)
Here are some other possible use cases:
1. Access to SSH / CLI from an environment where outgoing SSH is locked down, or SSH client isn't / can't be installed. (_i.e., a corporate network_)
2. Access to long-running processes inside a tmux session (_like [irrsi](https://irssi.org/)_)
3. Remote access to a VM / [container running Kali linux](https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-linux-docker), for penetration testing
## Ingredients
1. [Docker swarm cluster](/ha-docker-swarm/design/) with [persistent shared storage](/ha-docker-swarm/shared-storage-ceph.md)
2. [Traefik](/ha-docker-swarm/traefik_public) configured per design
3. DNS entry for the hostname you intend to use, pointed to your [keepalived](ha-docker-swarm/keepalived/) IP
## Preparation
### Prepare environment
Create wetty.env, and populate with the following variables per the [oauth_proxy](/reference/oauth_proxy/) instructions:
```
OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_ID=
OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_SECRET=
OAUTH2_PROXY_COOKIE_SECRET=
# To use WeTTY to SSH to a host besides the (mostly useless) alpine container it comes with
SSHHOST=batcomputer.batcave.com
SSHUSER=batman
```
### Setup Docker Swarm
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
!!! tip
I share (_with my [patreon patrons](https://www.patreon.com/funkypenguin)_) a private "_premix_" git repository, which includes necessary docker-compose and env files for all published recipes. This means that patrons can launch any recipe with just a ```git pull``` and a ```docker stack deploy``` 👍

```
!!! note
Setup unique static subnets for every stack you deploy. This avoids IP/gateway conflicts which can otherwise occur when you're creating/removing stacks a lot. See [my list](/reference/networks/) here.
## Serving
### Launch Wetty stack
Launch the Wetty stack by running ```docker stack deploy wetty -c <path -to-docker-compose.yml>```
Browse to your new browser-cli-terminal at https://**YOUR-FQDN**. Authenticate with your OAuth provider, and then proceed to login, either to the remote host you specified (_batcomputer.batcave.com, in the example above_), or using user and password "term" to log directly into the Wetty alpine container (_from which you can establish egress SSH_)
## Chef's Notes
1. You could set SSHHOST to the IP of the "docker0" interface on your host, which is normally 172.17.0.1. (_Or run ```/sbin/ip route|awk '/default/ { print $3 }'``` in the container_) This would then provide you the ability to remote-manage your swarm with only web access to Wetty.
2. The inclusion of Wetty was due to the efforts of @gpulido in our [Discord server](http://chat.funkypenguin.co.nz). Thanks Gabriel!
