Highlights

Ultimate Serverless

• Zero Server Cost: Pure frontend deployment + Cloudflare Workers, no need to build your own backend servers.
• Edge Acceleration: Benefit from Cloudflare's global edge network, enjoying low-latency SSH connections from anywhere.

Out of the Box

• One-Click Deployment: Simply fork this repository, then complete the project build and deployment with a few clicks in the Cloudflare Dashboard.
• Modern Frontend Stack: TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS, paired with xterm.js to provide a silky smooth terminal experience.

Secure and Reliable

• Encrypted Transport in Two Segments: The browser-to-Cloudflare Worker segment uses HTTPS/WSS, while the Worker-to-target-host segment uses the complete SSH-2.0 protocol. The SSH segment supports Curve25519-SHA256 (preferred) and ECDH-NISTP256 key exchange, AES-256-GCM (preferred) / AES-128-GCM / AES-256-CTR encryption, and HMAC-SHA2-256/512 integrity verification.
• Multi-Algorithm Host Key Verification: Supports Ed25519, ECDSA P-256/P-384/P-521, and RSA signature verification, with SHA-256 fingerprint display on first connection (TOFU mode).
• Security Hardening: Built-in SSRF protection against IPv6 and reserved addresses. /api/ssh uses a bounded, per-Worker-isolate in-memory limiter for traffic shedding, while connection authorization remains the responsibility of Turnstile or one-time connection tokens. Saved server credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM in per-user Durable Object SQLite storage.
• Human Verification: Supports Cloudflare Turnstile verification to prevent malicious bot abuse.
• Isolated Session State: Each SSH terminal session is managed by an independent Cloudflare Durable Object. Browser WebSockets use the Hibernation API entry pattern, but an active outbound SSH TCP connection keeps the Durable Object awake for the duration of the session.
• Internal Flow for Saved Credentials: When connecting to a saved server, UserDBDO decrypts the credential on the server side and passes it internally to SSHSessionDO through a one-time connection token; the browser never receives the plaintext credential. Anonymous connections and the initial save still send user input to the Worker over HTTPS/WSS.

Features

• Pure TypeScript SSH-2.0 Implementation: Fully self-developed SSH protocol stack, with no dependency on any third-party SSH libraries, implementing all cryptographic operations based on Web Crypto API.
• Multi-Algorithm Key Exchange: Supports Curve25519-SHA256 (preferred) and ECDH-NISTP256 KEX algorithms, compatible with various SSH servers (including Dropbear).
• IPv4/IPv6 Dual Stack: Full support for both IPv4 and IPv6 address connections, including automatic handling of IPv6 bracket notation.
• Multiple Auth Methods: Supports standard SSH password authentication and OpenSSH-format Ed25519, ECDSA P-256/P-384/P-521, and RSA private keys. RSA uses RSA-SHA2-256/512 by default; legacy ssh-rsa SHA-1 is allowed only through explicit compatibility configuration.
• MitM Protection (TOFU): Automatically extracts and prints the server's Host Key (SHA-256 fingerprint) on the first connection, supporting Ed25519/ECDSA/RSA signature verification, and caches known host keys locally and via API to prevent MitM on future connections.
• Geek Terminal Experience: Powered by @xterm/xterm and the @xterm/addon-webgl hardware acceleration rendering engine, ensuring silky smooth scrolling even with massive log outputs.
• Reliable Terminal Clipboard Interaction: Completing a terminal selection with a mouse automatically copies it, and right-click pastes directly. On touch devices, tapping Copy in the shortcut bar enters selection mode; drag across terminal text and tap Copy again to finish, avoiding unreliable long-press selection, while Paste remains a separate action. Paste data follows xterm.js's native input pipeline, emits bracketed-paste control sequences only when the remote application enables that mode, and normalizes line endings for compatibility with Vim and regular shells.
• Mobile Terminal Support: Phones and tablets get dynamic visual-viewport sizing, soft-keyboard and safe-area handling, iOS Chinese IME compatibility, a compact action bar, one-shot Ctrl/Alt, Esc/Tab/arrows/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn shortcuts, and full-screen Agent/SFTP panels. Users may explicitly request fullscreen landscape; unsupported orientation locks fall back to a manual rotation hint without changing desktop layouts.
• Customizable UI: Theme V2 includes Standard Dark, Standard Light, Cyberpunk, Glacier, and Gruvbox. The companion GitHub Pages theme editor provides live controls for colors, shape, density, font, shadows, motion, and button/input/card/tab styles, with previews for login, server list, terminal + SFTP, and the AI Agent panel. Themes are imported, exported, backed up, and shared as JSON files. Signed-in users sync imported themes to their account for cross-browser restoration, while anonymous users keep them in the current browser only.
• SFTP Graphical File Manager: Integrated with a complete SFTP v3 file transfer protocol, providing a graphical file browser interface. Supports directory browsing, file upload/download, creating new folders, file renaming, and deletion, plus plain selection, Cmd/Ctrl toggle selection, Shift range selection, select all, batch file downloads, and batch deletion. Built on the SSH subsystem, it runs alongside terminal sessions without interference and supports download queues and upload cancellation.
• Native File Transfer: Integrated with trzsz.js, supporting trz (upload) / tsz (download) commands for file transfer, fully compatible with tmux sessions. Also supports drag-and-drop file upload to the terminal, directory transfer, and resumable transfers. (Requires trzsz installed on the remote server)
• GitHub OAuth Integration: Supports GitHub login, allowing users to save and manage frequently used SSH servers for one-click connections. Each server can have up to 10 normalized tags; the list supports instant search by name, host, or username, tag filtering, and pagination with 9 server cards per page.
• Automatic Server OS Detection: When a signed-in user first connects to a saved server without an OS record, CloudSSH uses a separate SSH exec channel after the terminal is ready to read /etc/os-release or uname, then shows the corresponding system icon on the server card. Detection runs in the background without blocking the terminal. Only recognized results are saved; unknown results are retried naturally on the next connection, and changing the host or port clears stale results. Anonymous connections do not run this check. The read-only command may appear in the target server's SSH audit logs.
• Private IP Display and Quick Copy: Valid IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are visually masked in the saved-server list and connection status bar to reduce accidental disclosure in demos or screenshots. The complete connection address remains available through mouse or keyboard copy. Hostnames remain unchanged; visual masking is not encryption or access control.
• Single-Page Multi-Tab Session: Switch between multiple independent SSH terminal and SFTP instances within a single browser tab, with isolated sandbox environments.
• Secure Connection History: Saves last 5 connection records locally. Credentials (passwords/private keys) can be client-side encrypted using locally derived AES-256-GCM keys.
• Dual-Segment Latency & Colo Display: Instantly and periodically monitor WebSocket RTT (client to CF), physical latency (CF to SSH host), and the current Cloudflare datacenter code (e.g. CF-LAX) on the status bar, with green, yellow, and red indicators for network quality.
• Smart Region Scheduling (locationHint): Queries IPinfo when a server is saved, persists the inferred Durable Object region, and reuses it on connection without another runtime geo lookup. Failures fall back to Cloudflare's default placement, and users may override the region manually. Note: automatic inference sends target-host information to the third-party IPinfo service. locationHint is a Cloudflare best-effort feature and may fall back to a nearby region when capacity is unavailable.
• In-Terminal Text Search: Real-time log search support via Ctrl+Shift+F.
• Terminal Log Export: Download the entire screen buffer of the active terminal session as a .txt file with a single click on the header download button, avoiding browser freezes when selecting long logs.
• AI Agent Assistant: Built-in AI Agent sidebar with BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) support for OpenAI-compatible APIs (e.g., DeepSeek). Provides 8 specialized operations tools: execute commands, read terminal context, detect server environment, list processes, manage systemctl services, manage Docker containers, user confirmation, and structured report output. Selecting terminal text exposes an “Ask AI assistant” action that attaches the complete selection to the current tab's composer instead of sending it immediately. The attachment shows its source and size, can be expanded, replaced, or removed, and is sent only after the user adds a question. Terminal selections are explicitly treated as untrusted analysis data—not action authorization—and cannot override user instructions. Agent code blocks support one-click copy, while safe single-line Shell commands can be filled into the active terminal without being executed automatically. Supports LLM streaming output (character-by-character display). Dangerous commands are automatically blocked or require confirmation in a safe, reject-by-default dialog. Thinking Process Container: During multi-step tasks, displays the latest 1-2 commands in real-time, auto-collapses with total step count after completion, expands to show full execution history.
• Quality Gates: Before deploying either test or main, GitHub Actions performs frozen-lockfile installation, Worker/frontend type checking, unit and integration tests, reproducible frontend builds, Playwright browser E2E, and axe accessibility regression. Any failure blocks deployment.

SSH Protocol Implementation

This project implements a complete SSH-2.0 protocol stack:

Layer	Implementation	Supported Algorithms

Channel Management	channel.ts	Session channel, SFTP subsystem, PTY, shell, window-change
SFTP Protocol	sftp.ts / sftp-types.ts	SFTP v3 file transfer protocol (directory browsing, upload, download, delete, rename)

Data Flow

1. The user enters the host IP, username, and password on the frontend (or selects a saved server via GitHub OAuth).
2. The frontend establishes a WebSocket connection with the backend Durable Object.
3. SSHSessionDO receives the credentials and establishes a TCP connection with the target SSH server using @cloudflare/sockets.
4. SSHSession executes the complete SSH protocol negotiation (version exchange → key exchange → authentication → channel open → PTY → Shell).
5. Terminal data travels over WSS between the browser and Worker, and over SSH between the Worker and target server; the Worker bridges the two protocol segments and processes SSH.
6. SFTP file management runs on a separate SSH subsystem channel, supporting directory browsing, file upload/download, and other operations.
7. For a saved server without an OS record, SSHSession performs one read-only system check through a separate exec channel after the Shell is ready. Recognized results are stored in UserDBDO and sent to the frontend; unknown results are not stored.
8. The AI Agent receives the user question and optional terminal-selection context via WebSocket. The selection is marked as untrusted analysis data before AgentCore calls the external LLM API, executes approved commands through SSH exec channels, and streams results back to the frontend.

Quick Deployment

Prerequisites

• A Cloudflare account.
• Cloudflare Workers Free Plan enabled (required for TCP Sockets and Durable Objects features).

Steps

Method 1: Deploy via GitHub Integration (Recommended)

Click the button to jump to the Cloudflare console — authorize your GitHub account and deploy automatically, no local environment required

1. Fork this repository to your GitHub account.
2. Create Worker App: Log in to Cloudflare, go to Workers & Pages, click Create Application, connect your GitHub account, and select the forked repository.
3. Build Command: During deployment settings, enter pnpm run build:frontend as the Build command, then save and deploy.
4. Access the App: After successful deployment, access via the default domain https://cloudssh.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev.
5. Bind Custom Domain (Optional): Go to Worker Settings → Domains & Routes → Add, enter your domain and confirm.

Note

: To deploy a test environment, repeat the above steps on the test branch to create a separate Worker (e.g., cloudssh-test). The Durable Objects data between both environments is completely isolated.

Optional: Automatically Sync Upstream Releases

A fork can use the built-in Sync upstream GitHub Actions workflow to periodically synchronize the latest main branch from this project into its own main branch. This feature is disabled by default. Once enabled, it checks daily at 04:20 Asia/Shanghai; branch updates created by a successful sync are automatically built and deployed by Cloudflare Git integration, so no additional deployment toggle is required.

1. Make sure the Cloudflare Worker is connected to your fork, its Production branch is set to main, and automatic builds are enabled.
2. Open the fork's Actions page and enable workflows. If an existing fork does not yet contain Sync upstream, first use GitHub's Sync fork feature once to obtain the workflow.
3. Go to Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → Variables and create a Repository variable:
   • Name: AUTO_SYNC_UPSTREAM
   • Value: true
4. To sync immediately, open Actions → Sync upstream → Run workflow. Manual runs do not require the variable above.

Sync behavior: The workflow uses GitHub's fork synchronization API, requires no PAT, and never force-overwrites the branch. If your main branch cannot be merged with upstream automatically, the job fails while preserving the existing code and the conflict must be resolved manually. Avoid editing the deployment main branch directly, and keep domains, secrets, and environment variables in the Cloudflare Dashboard.

Method 2: Local CLI Deployment

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/newbietan/CloudSSH.git
   cd CloudSSH
   

2. Install Dependencies

   npm install -g pnpm
   pnpm install
   cd frontend && pnpm install
   

3. Login to Cloudflare

   npx wrangler login
   

4. Deploy Production

   pnpm run deploy
   

5. Deploy Test Environment (Optional)

   pnpm run deploy:test
   

Note

: Both environments bind to Durable Objects with the same class_name, but data is completely isolated due to different Worker names. After deployment, you can bind different custom domains for each environment in the Cloudflare Dashboard (Settings → Domains & Routes).

Optional: Configure Turnstile Human Verification

To prevent malicious bot abuse, it is recommended to enable Cloudflare Turnstile verification:

1. Create Turnstile Widget: Log in to Cloudflare Dashboard, go to the Turnstile page and create a new Widget.
2. Get Keys: After creation, you will receive a Site Key (public) and a Secret Key (private).
3. Configure Environment Variables: In the Cloudflare Dashboard Workers settings, go to "Settings" → "Variables and Secrets", add the following environment variables:
   • TURNSTILE_SECRET = your Secret Key
   • TURNSTILE_SITEKEY = your Site Key
4. Redeploy: Run the deployment command to apply the configuration.

Environment Variable Type Recommendation: It is recommended to set all environment variables as Secret type. Secrets are stored in Cloudflare's encrypted storage, separate from code deployments, and will not be overwritten or lost during redeployments. When adding variables in the Dashboard, simply select the "Secret" type.

Note

: Turnstile verification is session-level. After verification, all features are available for the current session. Closing the browser will require re-verification.

Optional: Configure GitHub OAuth Login & Server Management

With GitHub OAuth enabled, users can log in with their GitHub account and save/manage their frequently used SSH servers in a personal dashboard for one-click connections. When not configured, this feature is automatically hidden and does not affect the anonymous SSH connection functionality.

1. Create a GitHub OAuth App:

   • Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → OAuth Apps → New OAuth App
   • Application name: CloudSSH (customizable)
   • Homepage URL: https://your-domain.com (your deployed domain)
   • Authorization callback URL: https://your-domain.com/api/auth/callback
   • After creation, note the Client ID, then click Generate a new client secret to get the Client Secret (shown only once, save it immediately)

2. Configure Environment Variables: In the Cloudflare Dashboard Workers settings, go to "Settings" → "Variables and Secrets", add the following environment variables:

   • GITHUB_CLIENT_ID = your Client ID
   • BASE_URL = https://your-domain.com (your deployed domain)
   • GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET = your Client Secret

3. Redeploy: Save the variables and redeploy the existing Worker. The Durable Object migration in the repository initializes the required classes and database; deleting the existing Worker is not required.

Environment Variable Type Recommendation: It is recommended to set all environment variables as Secret type. Secrets are stored in Cloudflare's encrypted storage, separate from code deployments, and will not be overwritten or lost during redeployments. When adding variables in the Dashboard, simply select the "Secret" type.

Note

: Server credentials (passwords/private keys) are encrypted with AES-256-GCM in each user's UserDBDO SQLite database. The current encryption key is generated on first use and stored in the same Durable Object database as the ciphertext. For a saved-server connection, the browser never receives the plaintext credential; the server side transfers it internally through a one-time connection token.

Local Development

Environment Setup

1. Fork and Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/CloudSSH.git
   cd CloudSSH
   

2. Install Dependencies (root and frontend separately)

   pnpm install
   cd frontend && pnpm install
   

3. Login to Cloudflare (required on first run, credentials are cached afterward)

   npx wrangler login
   

   Note

   : When using Wrangler Dev for local development, it connects to your Cloudflare account to access Durable Objects and TCP Sockets. Real SSH TCP traffic is forwarded through Cloudflare's infrastructure.

4. Configure GitHub Actions (Optional, for automatic deployment)

   If you want to deploy to your own Cloudflare account via GitHub Actions, modify the repository owner in .github/workflows/deploy.yml:

   if: github.repository_owner == 'your-github-username'
   

   Also configure the following Secrets in your repository Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions:

   • CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN: Your Cloudflare API Token
   • CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID: Your Cloudflare Account ID

Start Development Server

pnpm run dev

This command builds the frontend and starts the Wrangler local development environment, supporting:

• Automatic rebuild on frontend code changes
• Automatic reload on Worker code changes
• Full Durable Objects and TCP Sockets functionality

After the dev server starts, visit the local address shown in the terminal (usually http://localhost:8787) to start debugging.

Common Development Commands

Command	Description
pnpm run dev	Build frontend + start Wrangler dev server
pnpm run build:frontend	Build frontend only (output to frontend/dist/)
pnpm run typecheck	Type-check Worker and frontend TypeScript

Submitting Changes

Do NOT create feature branches. All changes must be committed directly to the test branch to keep the repository clean.

test branch (dev/test)  ──merge──>  main branch (production)

1. Switch to the test branch: git checkout test
2. Pull the latest code: git pull origin test
3. Develop and test locally
4. Commit and push directly: git push origin test
5. After testing passes, the maintainer will merge test into main

Note

: The main branch has protection rules that prevent direct pushes. All changes must be committed to the test branch first. Do NOT create feat/xxx, fix/xxx or any other feature branches — commit directly to test.
