This is an unofficial fork of the project Shell In A Box. The fork was created because the original project was not maintained anymore and we cannot contact the original repository owners.

Our aim is to continue with maintenance of the shellinabox project. For a list of recent changes, please see CHANGELOG.md.

If you have any questions, issues, or patches, please feel free to submit a pull request or report an issue. You can also drop an email to the original project issue #261 discussion from where this fork started.

About shellinabox

Shell In A Box implements a web server that can export arbitrary command line tools to a web based terminal emulator. This emulator is accessible to any JavaScript and CSS enabled web browser and does not require any additional browser plugins.
