Web Based Terminal

The web-based terminal in knot provides users with shell access to their spaces directly from a browser. This feature is accessible from the Spaces page and offers a seamless way to interact with running spaces.

Accessing the Web Terminal

1. Navigate to the Spaces page.

2. Click the Terminal icon (#1) next to the running space.

   

3. A new browser window will open, displaying the web-based terminal.

   

Terminal Behavior

• The terminal will attempt to use the shell specified in the space configuration.

• If the specified shell is unavailable within the container, the knot agent will search for an alternative shell in the following order:

  1. bash
  2. zsh
  3. fish
  4. sh

• Closing the browser window will close the terminal session.

Permissions

To use the web terminal, the user must have a role with the Use Web Terminal permission.
