Overview

rtty is a powerful remote terminal solution composed of a client and a server. The client is written in pure C for optimal performance and minimal footprint. The server is implemented in Go with a modern frontend built using Vue.

Access your device's terminal from anywhere via a web browser. Distinguish between different devices using unique device IDs.

rtty is exceptionally well-suited for remote maintenance of thousands of Linux devices deployed worldwide, making it an ideal choice for organizations managing distributed infrastructure.
