Privacy-First Web SSH Workspace

Online SSH and SFTP that keeps your keys on your own self-hosted box

Problem

People explicitly want a web-based SSH option: too much local software, fear that AI tools with full permissions on their machine will upload private keys and passwords, plus a desire for unified key management, SFTP support, a clean UI and ideally a Docker image. Local terminals are mature, but online options that don't surrender your keys barely exist.

Solution

A one-click self-hostable (Docker) web SSH/SFTP workspace where keys and passwords live in your own instance and never touch a third party: multi-tab browser sessions, basic SFTP file management, a clean UI with fine-grained permissions, and chained proxy support for when direct connections fail.

Users

Developers, ops engineers and security-sensitive technical users who already self-host

MVP

One-click Docker deployment; multi-tab SSH sessions in browser; built-in SFTP upload/download; locally encrypted key and password storage; chained proxy configuration

Revenue

Open-source self-hosted free; hosted subscription per instance; enterprise plan with SSO and audit logs

Why now

Security anxiety about AI tools with local permissions is rising and direct server connections are flaky, while terminal-class apps are scarce as the community notes; self-hosting is the key differentiator and needs no license
