Container Web Terminal

This project is forked from bitbull-team's docker-exec-web-console repo which is originally inspirated by this gist.

You can launch the container in this way:

docker run \
	--name container-web-terminal \
	-p 9999:8888 \
	-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
	quay.io/enterprisecoding/container-web-terminal

Then you can reach the terminal at the url http://localhost:9999

It's possible to pass a context path to which the container will responds, using CONTEXT_PATH environment variable:

docker run \
	--name container-web-terminal \
	-p 9999:8888 \
	-e "CONTEXT_PATH=/webterminal" \
	-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
	quay.io/enterprisecoding/container-web-terminal

With the above example, the terminal will be reachable at the url http://localhost:9999/webterminal

You can select the container to exec into passing its id directly via cid querystring parameter ( eg. http://localhost:9999?cid=<container id> ) or in the prompt that will show at page load.

You can pass the command to execute passing it via cmd querystring parameter ( eg. http://localhost:9999?cid=<container id>&cmd=/bin/sh ), otherwise it default to /bin/bash.

Build the image

The image is designed to have a multi-stage docker file. Base container ise build on alpine:latest and compiler part uses golang:1.15.4-alpine. All you have to do is build container image using following command;

docker build -t quay.io/enterprisecoding/container-web-terminal .
