Using the Terminal

The browser terminal gives you shell access without exposing SSH. Sessions use short-lived tokens and still require you to authenticate on the server.

Start a session

1. Open the server card and click Terminal.
2. A terminal tab opens and prompts for your server credentials (e.g., root or a sudo user).
3. Once authenticated, you get a full shell with 256-color support.

Tips

• Open multiple sessions from the UI if you need parallel work.
• If your connection drops, the client will attempt to reconnect; re-authenticate if prompted.
• Avoid pasting secrets unless necessary; treat the terminal like any remote shell.
