How it works
- Launch Docker Compose and open your domain (HTTPS).
- Register and sign in to the dashboard.
- Add a host (name, hostname, port, username, notes/tags).
- Connect — choose password or private key. Credentials stay in session memory and are not stored.
GDPR & EU standards
Designed and maintained in the EU. Metadata and logs are minimized. CSP/CORS hardening and rate limiting included. DPA/privacy notice templates available in the docs.
FAQ
Does Shellpoint store passwords or keys?
No. Credentials are used only for the lifetime of the session (browser and gateway) and are then cleared from memory.
Is the project open source?
Yes. The code is available in a public repository; PRs and suggestions are welcome.
Does it run only in the browser?
Yes. The current version is designed for browser use only; there are no native desktop or mobile apps.
Does it support SFTP or tunneling?
No. We deliberately focused on the core SSH experience for v1. Everything else is out of scope.
