Build a Web-Based Linux Terminal Playground

2024-12-09T04:51:18+00:00

In this blog, I will guide you through creating a Simple Web-Based Linux Terminal Playground that enables running Linux commands directly in the browser. We will use technologies such as Podman for containerization, React for the UI, and Express and node-pty for the backend. WebSockets will handle real-time communication between the frontend and backend, creating a seamless, secure, and interactive environment to learn and execute Linux commands. Each connection will be isolated and ephemeral therefore ensuring security and separation between users. Why Use Podman, React, Express, node-pty, WebSockets, and Alpine? Why Podman? Podman is an open-source container engine that focuses [...]
