Almost a year ago I wrote about SSHing with a web browser using MindTerm.  This was good, if the network allows traffic via  the SSH port, and nowadays this is usually not the case.

Ajaxterm is a web based terminal that provides SSH connectivity with a AJAX supported web browser.

Installing Ajaxterm in Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install ajaxterm

Modify the configure file /etc/default/ajaxterm if a different port for ajaxterm is desired.  The default port is 8022.

Setting up Ajaxterm with Apache

By default Ajaxterm only listen at 127.0.0.1:8022.  For remote access, configure it with Apache using mod_proxy.

$ a2enmod proxy_http

Add the following to the Apache config /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

ProxyRequests off
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8022/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8022/

When completed point the browser to the domain associated with Ajaxterm.
