# Shell Now 🐚⚡
> Instant Web Terminal via `ttyd` + `cloudflared` — A one-click webshell for developers, educators, and hackers.
ShellNow is a tiny Go-powered CLI tool that helps you instantly start a temporary, publicly-accessible web terminal using [ttyd](https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd) and [Cloudflare Quick Tunnels](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/trycloudflare/).
Ideal for quick debugging, remote terminal sharing, and Linux teaching demos.
## ✨ Features
- 🚀 One command to launch a public web shell
- 🧩 Automatically downloads `ttyd` and `cloudflared` (cross-platform)
- 🔐 Optional password authentication
- 💻 Runs any shell or custom command (e.g. `htop`, `matrix`, `bash`)
## 📦 Usage / Installation
Coming soon: prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, Windows, ARM64
With docker:
```bash
docker run cr.strrl.dev/strrl/shell-now:latest
```
## 📚 Why?
Sometimes you just want to…
- 🔧 Show a live bug in a terminal to a teammate
- 👨🏫 Give a quick Linux/DevOps lesson via browser
- 🧪 Share a terminal-based demo of your CLI tool
- 🏠 Remotely connect to your own Pi/NAS with no public IP setup
ShellNow makes it dead-simple.
## ⚠️ Warning
This tool exposes your local shell to the public internet.
- ALWAYS Use password protection
- Prefer read-only demos when possible
- Avoid running this on sensitive systems
