Web SSH

SSH Access via Web Browser

The Web SSH client allows direct browser-based access to platform containers without generating a dedicated SSH key pair or completing additional SSH configuration.

Open a Web SSH Session

In the dashboard, locate the required environment layer or a specific node and click the Web SSH button. A new terminal-emulator tab opens with a direct connection to the selected container.

Web SSH direct connection
Open the browser-based terminal by clicking Web SSH for the required layer or node.

Default SSH Port Requirement

Port limitation: Web SSH works only with the default SSH port 22. If the container’s sshd port has been changed, browser-based SSH access is unavailable.

Web SSH Tools

Node ID For a horizontally scaled layer, choose a particular container from the Node ID drop-down list.
Duplicate Session Open another terminal tab connected to the same container and perform several operations simultaneously.
A duplicate session can be used to follow logs in one terminal while managing the application in another.

Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Copy: Ctrl + Shift + C
  • Paste: Ctrl + V
  • Settings: Ctrl + Shift + Alt

The complete shortcut list is also available by hovering over the keyboard icon in the upper-right corner of the Web SSH tab.

The Settings shortcut opens terminal-emulator options, including input-method controls and manual clipboard-text management.

Manage the Container

After the terminal opens, the container can be managed through standard SSH commands. Typical operations include setting custom variables, reviewing files and processes, and changing firewall settings.

Command responsibility: Commands run through Web SSH affect the selected container directly. Confirm the active Node ID before changing configuration in a horizontally scaled layer.
