Web SSH Terminal

Overview​

The Web SSH Terminal lets you access your instances directly from the browser without needing an SSH client, key files, or port forwarding. Click the SSH button on any running instance to open a secure terminal session.

Using Web SSH​

  1. Navigate to the instance you want to access.
  2. Click the SSH button on the instance management page.
  3. A terminal session opens in a new browser tab.
  4. You're connected as root to your instance.

Requirements​

  • The instance must be in a running state.
  • The instance must have the QEMU Guest Agent installed and active.
  • The instance must be reachable from its hypervisor via the VPC or public network.

Session Management​

  • Sessions are created on demand and cleaned up automatically.
  • You can check the session status or manually terminate it from the instance management page.
  • Closing the browser tab ends the session.

Permissions​

With Team Management enabled:

  • Viewer role can access Web SSH (read-only terminal access falls under instances.view).
  • Operator and Admin roles have full SSH access.
