## Features
- **Connection tree** — folders with drag-and-drop, Linux / Windows icons per connection
- **Tabbed sessions** — each opened connection gets its own tab
- **SSH sessions** — full xterm.js terminal over WebSocket
- **RDP sessions** — Guacamole-based remote desktop in the browser
- **Encrypted storage** — passwords stored AES-256 encrypted at rest
- **JWT auth** — login-protected, all API + WebSocket routes secured
- **Connection tree** — folders with drag-and-drop, context menus, search
- **Tabbed sessions** — each connection opens in its own tab
- **SSH terminal** — xterm.js over WebSocket, resize support
- **RDP viewer** — canvas-based remote desktop via rdpd (JPEG frame streaming)
- **Connection profiles** — reusable credential templates (SSH or RDP specific), assigned per connection. Profile values act as defaults, connection-level values override.
- **Encrypted storage** — passwords and private keys AES-256 encrypted at rest
- **JWT auth** — all API and WebSocket routes are login-protected
## Quick start (Docker Compose)
```bash
# 1. Clone & enter
git clone https://github.com/yourname/mremotify.git
cd mremotify
# 2. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env: set ENCRYPTION_KEY (32 chars), JWT_SECRET, ADMIN_PASSWORD
# Edit .env: set ENCRYPTION_KEY, JWT_SECRET, ADMIN_PASSWORD
# 3. Start everything
docker compose up -d
# 4. Open in browser
open http://localhost
```
Default login: `admin` / `admin123` (change via `ADMIN_USER` / `ADMIN_PASSWORD` in `.env` before first start).
Default login: `admin` / `admin123` (set `ADMIN_USER` / `ADMIN_PASSWORD` in `.env` before first start).
## Development (without Docker)
## Development
Prerequisites: Node.js >= 20, pnpm >= 9, PostgreSQL running locally.
```bash
# Install all workspace dependencies
pnpm install
# Copy and fill in env
cp .env.example .env
# Set POSTGRES_URL to your local DB, etc.
# Set POSTGRES_URL to your local DB
# Run DB migrations + seed
cd backend && npx prisma migrate dev && npx prisma db seed && cd ..
# Start backend + frontend in parallel
pnpm dev
```
Frontend dev server: http://localhost:5173
Backend API: http://localhost:3000
Frontend dev server runs on http://localhost:5173 (proxies `/api` and `/ws` to backend).
Backend API runs on http://localhost:3000.
