This article is about how to install butterfly in a Linux system. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

Butterfly allows you to display daily terminals in your browser.

Install butterfly$ sudo pip install butterfly # install butterfly$ butterfly.server.py-- unsecure # start an insecure web server

Then all you have to do is open: localhost:57575

How to use it:

Server side

Use systemd to run at startup

Because it depends on the service running in the background, you can download the systemd file where butterfly.service is located, which is in / etc/systemd/system/ or equivalent, and:

$sudo systemctl enable butterfly$ sudo systemctl start butterfly

Now, the server will always be running.

Run as root and multiple users

Butterfly can be used as an end user and a root user. When running as the root user, privileges are granted to the user who initiated the connection, that is, the user who opened the web page. You can change the end user by going to localhost:57575/user/.

Access from a remote machine

You can use the butterfly.server.py-host= "0.0.0.0" setting to bind the host, which will allow other users to connect to your terminal. A password will be required, but the password is not secure! therefore, it is recommended that you run this program only on the local network for testing from now on.

Run a specific shell

Use the shell command line option:

Butterfly.server.py-shell=/bin/fish client

Butterfly works like any other terminal, but has some specific functions.

Enter browser shortcuts

When the terminal is in focus, all hotkeys are captured (except those that are blocked by the browser). If you want to use CTRL + L to access the address bar, it will not work properly. That's why the ALT + Z combination here tells Butterfly not to catch the next keystroke combination. In other words, you can access the address bar by pressing ALT + Z and then CTRL + L. If your browser supports the css3 filter, the screen will turn brown.

Quickly select history text

I've been hoping to find this feature in the terminal so that I can quickly select history. You can try to browse the selection by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + up, then using CTRL + SHIFT + up / Down and Arrow keys. After the correct setting, press enter, and Butterfly will enter the selection directly at the prompt:

Other functions

The visual style is done using CSS, so it can be edited completely.

You can easily extend the behavior of terminals in a browser by writing JavaScript (just like a quick select operation).
