./scripts/termote.sh # Interactive menu
./scripts/termote.sh install container # Container mode (docker/podman)
./scripts/termote.sh install native # Native mode (host tools)
./scripts/termote.sh link # Create 'termote' global command
make test # Run tests
After
link, usetermotefrom anywhere:termote health,termote install native --lan
Tip: Install gumโ for enhanced interactive menus (optional, bash fallback available)
macOS/Linux:
# Download and prompt before install (defaults to native mode)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lamngockhuong/termote/main/scripts/get.sh | bash
# Auto-install without prompt
curl -fsSL .../get.sh | bash -s -- --yes
# Download only (no install)
curl -fsSL .../get.sh | bash -s -- --download-only
# Auto-update with saved config
curl -fsSL .../get.sh | bash -s -- --update
# Install specific version
curl -fsSL .../get.sh | bash -s -- --version 0.0.4
# With explicit mode and options
curl -fsSL .../get.sh | bash -s -- --yes --container --lan
curl -fsSL .../get.sh | bash -s -- --yes --native --tailscale myhost
# Force new password (ignore saved config)
curl -fsSL .../get.sh | bash -s -- --yes --container --fresh
Windows (PowerShell):

# Install (interactive menu or with mode)
./scripts/termote.sh install
./scripts/termote.sh install container
git clone https://github.com/lamngockhuong/termote.git
cd termote
./scripts/termote.sh install container
Note:
termote.shis the unified CLI supportinginstall(builds from source, uses pre-built artifacts when available),uninstall, andhealthcommands.

User["User"] --> Container & Native
| Mode | Description | Use Case | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
--container | Container mode | Simple deployment, isolated env | macOS, Linux |
--native | All native | Host tool access (claude, gh) | macOS, Linux |
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--lan | Expose to LAN (default: localhost only) |
--tailscale <host[:port]> | Enable Tailscale HTTPS |
--no-auth | Disable basic authentication |
--port <port> | Host port (default: 7680, Windows: 7690) |
--fresh | Force new password prompt (ignore saved config) |
--update | Auto-update with saved config |
--version <ver> | Install specific version (with or without v) |
| Environment Variable | Description |
|---|---|
WORKSPACE | Host directory to mount (default: ./workspace) |
TERMOTE_USER | Basic auth username (default: auto-generated) |
TERMOTE_PASS | Basic auth password (default: auto-generated) |
NO_AUTH | Set to true to disable authentication |
Scripts auto-detect podman or docker โ both work identically.
./scripts/termote.sh install container # localhost with basic auth
./scripts/termote.sh install container --no-auth # localhost without auth
./scripts/termote.sh install container --lan # LAN accessible
# Access: http://localhost:7680
# Custom workspace directory (mounted to /workspace in container)
WORKSPACE=~/projects ./scripts/termote.sh install container
WORKSPACE=/path/to/code make install-container
Security note: Avoid mounting
$HOMEdirectly โ sensitive directories like.ssh,.gnupgwill be accessible in container. Mount specific project directories instead.
Use when you need access to host binaries (claude, git, etc):
# Linux
sudo apt install ttyd tmux
# Or: sudo snap install ttyd
./scripts/termote.sh install native
# macOS
brew install ttyd tmux go
./scripts/termote.sh install native
# Access: http://localhost:7680
Uses tailscale serve for automatic HTTPS (no manual cert management):
# Tailscale only (default port 443)
./scripts/termote.sh install container --tailscale myhost.ts.net
# Custom port
./scripts/termote.sh install native --tailscale myhost.ts.net:8765
# Tailscale + LAN accessible
./scripts/termote.sh install container --tailscale myhost.ts.net --lan
# Access: https://myhost.ts.net (or :8765 for custom port)
./scripts/termote.sh uninstall container # Container mode
./scripts/termote.sh uninstall native # Native mode
./scripts/termote.sh uninstall all # Everything
# Option 1: Auto-update with saved config
curl -fsSL .../get.sh | bash -s -- --update
# Option 2: Re-run one-liner (compares versions, prompts before install)
curl -fsSL .../get.sh | bash
# Option 3: Manual update
./scripts/termote.sh uninstall [container|native]
git pull origin main # If installed from source
./scripts/termote.sh install [container|native] [--lan] [--tailscale ...]
| Platform | Container | Native | CLI Script |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linux | โ | โ | termote.sh |
| macOS | โ | โ | termote.sh |
| Windows | โ | โ | termote.ps1 |
Windows Support: Container mode requires Docker Desktop or Podman Desktop; native mode requires psmux. Report any issues on GitHub.
Windows native mode uses psmuxโ (tmux-compatible terminal multiplexer for Windows):
# Install psmux
winget install psmux
# Run Termote
.\scripts\termote.ps1 install native
.\scripts\termote.ps1 install container # Or container mode with Docker Desktop
# Update & logs
.\scripts\termote.ps1 update # Self-update to latest release
.\scripts\termote.ps1 logs follow # Tail all logs live
By default,
install nativedownloads the fork/MSVC ttyd buildโ (works on the latest Windows); pass-Ttyd officialto use the upstream tsl0922/ttyd build instead.
