Web-based SSH terminal that works behind any reverse proxy

Torrus

A web-based SSH terminal that works behind any reverse proxy. Install it, run it, use it.

Features

• Web-based SSH terminal with full xterm.js emulation
• Multi-tab support — open multiple SSH sessions side by side, close all at once
• Tab management — right-click to rename, clone, duplicate, or save a tab as a session
• Keyboard shortcuts — Ctrl+T new tab, Ctrl+W close tab, Ctrl+Tab cycle tabs, Ctrl+, settings
• Saved servers — save, edit, import, and export connection configs
• Works behind reverse proxies — uses Socket.IO for reliable transport
• Session sidebar — quick-connect to saved servers
• LDAP/AD authentication — optional, via ldapgate

Install

pip install torrus

Usage

torrus serve

Opens the terminal in your browser. Connect to any SSH server from there.

Options:

--host TEXT          Bind host. [default: 127.0.0.1]
--port INTEGER       Bind port. [default: 8080]
--no-browser         Don't open the browser automatically.
--ldap-config PATH   Path to ldapgate YAML config to enable LDAP authentication.

LDAP Authentication

Torrus can require users to log in via LDAP/AD before accessing the terminal. This uses ldapgate as FastAPI middleware — no separate proxy process needed.

pip install 'torrus[ldap]'
torrus serve --ldap-config /path/to/ldapgate.yaml

When LDAP is enabled, a logout button appears in the top-right corner of the tab bar.

See the ldapgate README for config file documentation.
