The README describes sshx as a secure web-based collaborative terminal, while the official website presents it as link-based terminal sharing on a multiplayer infinite canvas. ### Adoption history The README and website promote a curl installer, direct binaries for macOS, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, and embedded ARM targets, Homebrew installation, and a one-command CI/CD debugging workflow. The supplied package metadata records Homebrew and Arch/pacman availability. ### How it is used Users run the `sshx` client to create a terminal-sharing session and receive a browser URL. The project emphasizes real-time collaboration, remote cursors, end-to-end encryption, automatic reconnection, mesh networking, and CI debugging sessions that pause a workflow while exposing a collaborative shell. ### Why package nerds care sshx matters to package nerds because it packages a modern terminal-sharing workflow as a tiny CLI: install a binary, run one command, and bridge terminal state into the browser. It sits near tools such as tmate but leans into web collaboration, Rust packaging, and cross-platform binary distribution. ### Timeline - 2022: Initial upstream commits implemented the server foundation. - 2023: Official website copyright identifies the open-source project under Eric Zhang. - 2024: v0.2.x and v0.3.x tags appeared in the upstream repository. - 2025: v0.4.x tags appeared, with Homebrew and Arch packaging recorded in package metadata. ### Related projects - sshx is related to terminal-sharing and remote-pairing tools such as tmate, but its official materials center the browser canvas and hosted mesh service. ### Sources - Git history from https://github.com/ekzhang/sshx - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** sshx - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - pacman - sshx - 0.4.1-2: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: sshx from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | A secure web-based, collaborative terminal | https://github.com/ekzhang/sshx ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://pkg.so/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Security and crypto packages](https://pkg.so/security-crypto-tools/) - Matched security, identity, cryptography, password, signing, or certificate metadata. - [protobuf](https://pkg.so/brew/protobuf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://pkg.so/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [openssl@3](https://pkg.so/brew/openssl-3/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security. - [gnutls](https://pkg.so/brew/gnutls/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security. - [p11-kit](https://pkg.so/brew/p11-kit/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security. - [gnupg](https://pkg.so/brew/gnupg/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security. - [krb5](https://pkg.so/brew/krb5/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security. - [nettle](https://pkg.so/brew/nettle/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security. - [libcap](https://pkg.so/brew/libcap/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security. - [libgcrypt](https://pkg.so/brew/libgcrypt/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, security. - [feroxbuster](https://pkg.so/brew/feroxbuster/) - Security-sensitive metadata or terminology overlaps.
