SSH CLI Interface for NS8

Feature
21

something i have discovered with NS8 in cluster mode is that

SOme commands are required to be run on the cluster admin

while some other commands are required to be run on the node in question.

Once you add new servers to cluster admin, you can no longer install or remove apps from the given server, but only through cluster admin.

While if you want to ssh module@localhost you have to be in the node itself.

if you run the same from the cluster admin, youre asked for a password of the module, which i have no idea what it is and where it is.

I came accross this here Xterm.js (xtermjs.org)i thought it might be useful to Implement into Ns8 more easier

@stephdl might it help?

@oneitonitram , @stephdl

Xterm.js is what is used in Proxmox (3rd layer), but is the easiest to use and supports copy / paste via browser.

But I still do not any need for a SSH web console, when an App is available for all platforms.

An unneeded Web-Interface for a maintainence tool has all the caveats and attack vectors a web site like WordPress may have, but with the much greater risk of exposing root, not just another system user like apache or whatever…

Something for the more lazy here, who like to give themselves the illusion of being top secure with all gimicks!

Unlike JAVA, JS does not run in a sandbox!

My 2 cents

Even the cmd of w10 can do a ssh root@foo.com so I do not see interest
