Fake Linux Terminal

Laptop with Fake Linux Terminal using jQuery Terminal

This project is attempt to recreate Unix like Terminal-based environment.

This is not Emulator, you will not be able to compile and run C++ programs. Instead this is a model of Unix system (GNU/Linux or MacOS), where things in the system are implemented in JavaScript.

This can be nice way to learn how Unix system works if you read the code. But also you will be able to play with terminal based Linux in browser.

The system will run completely in Browser, no Backend. It will be based on FileSystem Images.

TODO

  • Create Images for directory
  • Add a way to load the image in browser and read the file
  • Create Web Terminal based on Fake Linux Terminal (use LighntingFS version)
  • Use SVG Terminal
  • Work on Some text for the website, add Meta tags, Social Cover Images etc.
  • Modify Web Terminal to use LitningFS and FS Images
  • Add authentication based on /etc/passwd file and /etc/shadow (using $1$ and MD5 hash)
  • [SPIKE] Persistence of FS (consider save/load buttons - copy to indexedDB)
  • Try to add autologin button that will change hash, so you can refresh the page
  • Implement executable files that will be JavaScript scripts that will run in Web Workers
  • Add stdin/stdout/stderr PIPES to Web Worker API
  • Add way to see the source code of the code (to remove AGPL compliance burden)
  • Implement Bash.js interpreter using bash-parser
  • Try to make Bash.js part of the Image
  • Add env variables e.g. $PATH and PS1
  • [SPIKE] ESModules with Service Worker inside Web Worker executable
    • Shared libraries as ESModules
  • Bash Commands
    • cd
    • read
    • echo
