This example demonstrates how to create a web-based terminal using FastHTML and XTermJS.

This application creates a browser-based terminal that connects to a real shell on the server. It uses:

• FastHTML for the web application framework
• XTermJS for the terminal interface
• WebSockets for bidirectional communication
• PTY (pseudo-terminal) for shell interaction

1. Install the requirements:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. Run the application:

   python main.py
   

3. Open your browser and navigate to:

   http://localhost:5001
   

The implementation consists of two main files:

• main.py: The server-side Python application that creates the PTY and handles WebSocket communication
• static/terminal.js: The client-side JavaScript that initializes XTermJS and manages the WebSocket connection
