Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Access any remote server via SSH from a browser tab without installing a terminal app

REASON 2

Browse, upload, and edit files on remote servers directly through the web interface

REASON 3

Manage Docker containers across multiple servers from a single dashboard

REASON 4

Share server access with team members using role-based permissions and two-factor authentication

Wtf does this do

Termix is a self-hosted, open-source server management platform that runs in a browser or as a desktop and mobile app. It gives you a single place to access remote servers via SSH, view and edit files on those servers, create SSH tunnels, manage Docker containers, and see live CPU and memory usage, all without paying for a commercial service. The SSH terminal supports split-screen layouts with up to four panels open at once, browser-style tabs, and a command history feature for quick recall of previous commands. You can also connect to remote machines via RDP, VNC, or Telnet for graphical desktop access through the browser. SSH tunnels can be created and managed with automatic reconnection and health monitoring. The built-in file manager lets you browse, upload, download, and edit files on remote servers directly in the browser, with support for viewing code, images, audio, and video. Docker container management covers start, stop, pause, and terminal access into containers, though it is intended for managing existing containers rather than creating new ones. User accounts are stored in an encrypted SQLite database, and the platform supports role-based access control (letting you share server access with team members), two-factor authentication, OIDC login, and API keys for automation. Automatic SSL certificate setup is included. The interface supports around 30 languages. Termix runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android, and is also available as a Progressive Web App. It can be deployed with Docker and is free to use with no subscription required. It is positioned as a self-hosted alternative to paid tools like Termius.

Yoink these prompts

Prompt 1
I deployed Termix with Docker on my Ubuntu server. Walk me through adding a new SSH server connection, opening a split-screen terminal with two panels, and saving a command to the command history.
Prompt 2
Show me how to set up role-based access in Termix so my junior developer can SSH into the staging server but not the production server.
Prompt 3
I want to use Termix to create an SSH tunnel from my local port 5432 to a remote PostgreSQL server. How do I configure the tunnel and enable automatic reconnection?
Prompt 4
Using Termix's file manager, how do I upload a local config file to a remote server at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and then edit it in the browser?
Prompt 5
How do I enable OIDC login in Termix so my team can sign in with our company Google Workspace account instead of creating separate Termix accounts?
