termshare
Quick and easy terminal sharing for getting quick help or pair sysadmin'ing.
Share interactive control with a copilot and/or a readonly view of your terminal with others. Copilots and viewers can use the client or a web-based terminal.
The service is run by the support of the community via Gittip donations. Please donate to keep termshare running and support the work of the author.

Usage: termshare [session-url]

-c=false: allow a copilot to join to share control
-d=false: run the server daemon

Running the Termshare Server Locally
The Termshare server is meant to be run on Heroku, but you can also run it locally. There are just a few tricky bits. Run the server like this:
$ PORT=8080 termshare -d -n -s localhost:8080
Now when creating a session, you not only need to specify to use the local server, but you need to pass -n otherwise it will try to connect with TLS, which is only available via Heroku.
$ termshare -n -s localhost:8080
The Session URL it gives you should be accurate, but if you use it with termshare you do still need to pass -n. For example:
$ termshare -n http://localhost:8080/43aa4bd7-6583-41aa-446d-dc32fcceba2e
