runthis-client¶

This is a web client for the RunThis project. This project makes it easy to connect to a RunThis server.

The client here displays a “Run This” button and placeholder HTML so that the terminal session is not started when the page first loads. Clicking the RunThis button will cause the placeholder HTML to be replaced by an active connection to the terminal session.

Downloads¶

The client is available on the GitHub releases page: https://github.com/regro/runthis-client/releases
