This is a project in three parts

• An Angular 4 front end assembled with angular cli

• An Express server

• A terminal application

Description

The front end uses xterm.js to serve up a terminal

this connects via a websocket to the express server

The server conects via a pseudo tty to a node app called sash (Swiss Army Shell)

This shell is based on commander.js which provides
an easily extensible mechanism to do CLI

Currently the commands implemented are

• docker ps
• docker exec <container|name> <command>

Docker

I built this to do a docker exec without having access to the docker host so it will run as a docker container

Simply run docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock jeremymarshall/angular4-express-dist and connect to it on port 3000

There is a security risk as this exposes the docker daemon and you can exec to the container running the service. But this is a proof of concept

CI

The CI is a bit hand cranked at the moment

TODO

1. Do the CI
2. Command History
3. More commands
   • docker
   • docker compose
   • marathon/mesos
   • haproxy?
   • ssh?
4. integrate colour
5. Log commands to a database - what about passwords?)
