web-terminal (End of Maintenance)

The web-terminal add-on is a lightweight terminal server that allows you to use kubectl on the web UI. It provides a remote command-line interface (CLI) via web browser and HTTP, and can be easily integrated into an independent system. You can directly access the add-on as a service to obtain information and log in to a server through cmdb.

web-terminal can run on all operating systems supported by Node.js and does not depend on local modules. It is fast and easy to install and supports multiple sessions.
