A clean Linux container running an OpenSSH server (from linuxserver.io) with Wetty providing a web-based terminal. Username and password are set using environment variables. Connect from SSH clients or via the web terminal. Ideal as remote shell, development sandbox or isolated Linux environment.
Install Flow
How to self-host Shellbox
Shellbox can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Shellbox does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
What people run it for
- Remote shell access over SSH or web terminal from any device on the network.
- Lightweight Linux development sandbox for running scripts and tools.
- Isolated Linux environment for testing and experimentation.
