What is the ttyd-remote-terminal-wsl2 skill?

It is a specialized Claude Code skill that sets up a secure, web-accessible terminal for your Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) environment, allowing for remote command-line access.

Which tunneling services can I use with this skill?

The skill supports three primary options: ngrok (ideal for beginners), Cloudflare Tunnel (best for unlimited bandwidth), and Tailscale (best for private network access).

Does it require a lot of system resources?

No, it is designed to be lightweight. The ttyd process typically uses less than 50MB of memory, making it much lighter than running a full remote IDE.

Is the remote terminal connection secure?

Yes. The skill configures HTTPS-encrypted tunnels and forces password authentication to prevent unauthorized access to your WSL2 shell.

Can I use this on my iPhone or Android device?

Absolutely. Once the session is started, you can open the generated URL in any mobile browser to interact with your WSL2 terminal using your phone or tablet.

Enables secure web-based terminal access to WSL2 environments from any device via browser-based shell tunneling.

About

This skill simplifies the process of accessing your Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) environment remotely by setting up ttyd and secure tunneling services like ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel, or Tailscale. It provides a lightweight, browser-based terminal emulator that allows you to execute commands, edit files, and manage projects from a mobile phone, tablet, or another computer without requiring a full SSH setup or permanent IDE. With automated scripts for installation, authentication configuration, and session management, it ensures that your remote access is both easy to deploy and securely protected against unauthorized access.
