Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m one of the makers of Shellpoint — a browser-only SSH client you can self-host with a single Docker compose. No native apps, no bloat. Just open your browser, log in, add a host, and connect.
Why we built it
We needed a clean, secure way to SSH from locked-down laptops and demo environments without installing anything. Most tools ship lots of extras; we wanted the opposite: simple, fast, and privacy-first.
What’s inside (v1)
SSH in the browser with an xterm.js terminal (tabs, resize, copy/paste)
User accounts + basic RBAC (admin, user)
Hosts CRUD (name, hostname, port, username, notes, tags)
Audit trail (logins, host changes, connect/disconnect)
Privacy by design: credentials are ephemeral (never stored server-side or logged)
Dockerized stack (frontend, API, SSH gateway, Postgres, Redis, Nginx)
What’s intentionally not included
No AI, no tunnels/port-forwarding, no SFTP, no encrypted vault, no mobile-specific keypads. We focused on the core.
