Currently, the client connects to the server when the Terminal component mounts. This should be triggered from the client UI and the user should have the option to reconnect after ending a session.

The server side connectCallback should provide a host to connect to and optionally a username and a password/key. The ssh2 package supports keyboard-interactive authentication, so if connectCallback does not return credentials, the client should display a form for the user to enter a username and password.

express and express-ws should be part of the demo's server piece. The library should only provide the handler, which could be plugged into an existing express app.

• Extract credentials from server.js to a file not under source control
• Quick setup script?
  • Generate ~/.ssh/id_rsa if it doesn't exist and set permissions
  • Add ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys if it's not there
  • Configure demo server to connect to localhost with user $(whoami) and key ~/.ssh/id_rsa

The client should display the current connection status, both for the WebSocket and for the SSH client.
