Web SSH Client using ssh2, socket.io, xterm.js, and express

A bare bones example of an HTML5 web-based terminal emulator and SSH client. We use SSH2 as a client on a host to proxy a Websocket / Socket.io connection to a SSH2 server.

# Requirements
Node v6.x or above. If using <v6.x you should be able to run by replacing the "read-config" package to @1 like this (after a clone):

`npm install --save read-config@1
`

Just keep in mind that there is no intention to ensure compatability with Node < v6.x

# Instructions
To install:

1. Clone to a location somewhere and then `cd app` and `npm install --production`. If you want to develop and rebuild javascript and other files utilize `npm install` instead.

2. If desired, edit app/config.json to change the listener to your liking. There are also some default options which may be definied for a few of the variables.

3. Run `npm start`

4. Fire up a browser, navigate to IP/port of your choice and specify a host (https isn't used here because it's assumed it will be off-loaded to
some sort of proxy):

http://localhost:2222/ssh/host/127.0.0.1

You will be prompted for credentials to use on the SSH server via HTTP Basic authentcaiton. This is to permit usage with some SSO systems that can replay credentials over HTTP basic.

# Docker Instructions

Copy app/config.json.template to app/config.json and modify the latter:

```js
{
  // ...
  "listen": {
    "ip": "0.0.0.0",
    "port": 2222
  }
  // ...
}
```

Rebuild and run

```bash
docker build -t webssh2 .
docker run --name webssh2 -d -p 2222:2222 webssh2
```

Alternatively if you don't want to rebuild, mount the config at runtime:

```bash
docker run --name webssh2 -d -p 2222:2222 -v `pwd`/app/config.json:/usr/src/config.json webssh2
```

## Config File Options
`config.json` contains several options which may be specified to customize to your needs, vs editing the javascript directly. This is JSON format so mind your spacing, brackets, etc...

* **listen.ip** - _string_ - IP address node should listen on for client connections, defaults to `127.0.0.1`

* **listen.port** - _integer_ - Port node should listen on for client connections, defaults to `2222`

* **user.name** - _string_ - Specify user name to authenticate with. In normal cases this should be left to the default `null` setting.

* **user.password** - _string_ - Specify password to authenticate with. In normal cases this should be left to the default `null` setting.

* **ssh.host** - _string_ - Specify host to connect to. May be either hostname or IP address. Defaults to `null`.

* **ssh.port** - _integer_ - Specify SSH port to connect to, defaults to `22`

* **ssh.term** - _string_ - Specify terminal emulation to use, defaults to `xterm-color`

* **ssh.readyTimeout** - _integer_ - How long (in milliseconds) to wait for the SSH handshake to complete. **Default:** 20000.

* **ssh.keepaliveInterval** - _integer_ - How often (in milliseconds) to send SSH-level keepalive packets to the server (in a similar way as OpenSSH's ServerAliveInterval config option). Set to 0 to disable. **Default:** 120000.

* **ssh.keepaliveCountMax** - _integer_ - How many consecutive, unanswered SSH-level keepalive packets that can be sent to the server before disconnection (similar to OpenSSH's ServerAliveCountMax config option). **Default:** 10.

* **allowedSubnets** - _array_ - A list of subnets that the server is allowed to connect to via SSH. An empty array means all subnets are permitted; no restriction. **Default:** empty array.

* **options.challengeButton** - _boolean_ - Challenge button. This option, which is still under development, allows the user to resend the password to the server (in cases of step-up authentication for things like `sudo` or a router `enable` command.

* **options.allowreauth** - _boolean_ - Reauth button. This option creates an option to provide a button to create a new session with new credentials. See [issue 51](../../issues/51) and [pull 85](../../pull/85) for more detail.

* **algorithms** - _object_ - This option allows you to explicitly override the default transport layer algorithms used for the connection. Each value must be an array of valid algorithms for that category. The order of the algorithms in the arrays are important, with the most favorable being first. Valid keys:

Will capture anything send from client, including passwords, so use for testing only... Default: false. Example:
  * _serverlog.client: GcZDThwA4UahDiKO2gkMYd7YPIfVAEFW/mnf0NUugLMFRHhsWAAAA host: 192.168.99.80 command: ls -lat_

* **accesslog** - _boolean_ - http style access logging to console.log, default: false

* **safeShutdownDuration** - _integer_ - maximum delay, in seconds, given to users before the server stops when doing a safe shutdown

# Experimental client-side logging
Clicking `Start logging` on the status bar will log all data to the client. A `Download log` option will appear after starting the logging. You may download at any time to the client. You may stop logging at any time my pressing the `Logging - STOP LOG`. Note that clicking the `Start logging` option again will cause the current log to be overwritten, so be sure to download first.

# Example:

http://localhost:2222/ssh/host/192.168.1.1?port=2244&header=My%20Header&headerBackground=red

# Tips
* If you want to add custom JavaScript to the browser client you can either modify `./src/client.html` and add a **<script>** element, modify `./src/index.js` directly, or check out `webpack.*.js` and add your custom javascript file to a task there (best option).
