Investigate web consoles for SBS

[FlorisFokkinga]

Use case

We want to offer users a very easy to use way to log in to terminal based services, like SSH. We expect advanced users to have a client already, and that they prefer using that, but in a pinch, this could also be useful for them.

This is a low priority investigation.

Requirements

• Must be secure
• Must work with PAM web login
• Should allow using user's SSH key from SBS
• Must be easily usable from a service card

For example: https://pypi.org/project/webssh/

Deze code werkt en is betrouwbaar. Het lukt me alleen niet om een nette ctrl-d (exit) in combinatie met eventlet of gevent (met een echt upgraded websocket) te laten lopen.

In plaats van een subproces zouden we ook kunnen kijken naar een native python ssh implementatie? https://www.paramiko.org/

• Should allow using user's SSH key from SBS

That's impossible
