There is a virtualka on KVM. There is a browser. What technologies are needed to forward the console from the first to the second?

Question

css

Hello.
I would like to have a web console for KVM machines.
HTML / CSS / JS is all garbage and understandable.
The main question is how to receive data from the server, incl. utilities such as htop; and how to send data from the browser to KVM.
Thank you.

Answer 1

if you have time and desire to figure it out: study the console special characters and write a wrapper for node.js+socket.io, primitively implemented in 2-3
days stdout and stderr are redirected to the browser via the socket and parsed and displayed there
. Also, if you need root access, then it is better to run the node process from root
