# Wetty
[Wetty](https://github.com/butlerx/wetty/tree/main) is an SSH terminal over HTTP/HTTPS, useful for when on a strict network which disallows outbound SSH traffic, or when only a browser can be used (like a managed chromebook).
## Dependencies
This service requires the following other services:
- a [Traefik](traefik.md) reverse-proxy server
## Configuration
To enable this service, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the [installation](../installing.md) process:
```yaml
########################################################################
# #
# wetty #
# #
########################################################################
wetty_enabled: true
wetty_hostname: mash.example.com
wetty_path_prefix: /wetty
wetty_ssh_host: example.com
wetty_ssh_port: 22
########################################################################
# #
# /wetty #
# #
########################################################################
```
In the example configuration above, we configure the service to be hosted at `https://mash.example.com/wetty` and connect to `example.com` on port `22`.
You can remove the `wetty_path_prefix` variable definition, to make it default to `/`, so that the service is served at `https://mash.example.com/`.
## Usage
After installation, you should be able to access your new Wetty instance at: `https://WETTY_DOMAIN/PATH_PREFIX`, where:
- `WETTY_DOMAIN` matches your domain, as specified in `wetty_hostname` in your `vars.yml` file
- `PATH_PREFIX` matches your path prefix, as specified in `wetty_path_prefix` in your `vars.yml` file
Once connected, simply input the username and password to use. Keep in mind that Wetty only supports password authentication, so if the SSH daemon at `wetty_ssh_host` only allows pubkey authentication you will not be able to connect.
