I recently encountered a cool utility called ttyd:

	https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd.git

It's small C + web tool that gives you a tty and terminal in the browser.

It requires libwebsockets-dev and libjson-c-dev (maybe some others that
I already had installed).  After building the source, run:

	./ttyd -p 8888 --writable bash

Then point your browser at:

	http://localhost:8888/

Each tab you open gives you a new terminal.

There are plenty of command line options to fully configure what you need.

Enjoy,
- Chris
