rtty is a remote terminal solution consisting of a lightweight C client for embedded Linux devices and a Go server with a Vue web frontend. It lets users access and manage devices behind NAT from anywhere via a web browser, using unique device IDs.

Use cases

• access a device behind NAT from a web browser
• remote shell into embedded Linux devices
• remotely debug and maintain fleets of IoT devices
• manage large-scale distributed Linux devices over the web
• transfer files to remote devices through the browser
• provide a web-based terminal without exposing device ports

When to choose

• you need remote terminal access to embedded or resource-constrained Linux devices
• devices sit behind NAT with no public IP or port forwarding
• you want browser-based access with no client software for operators
• you manage many distributed devices and need device-ID-based routing

When to avoid

• you only need SSH to machines with public IPs or VPN access
• you need full graphical remote desktop rather than a terminal
• you cannot run a publicly reachable rtty server
• you need Windows device support
