The author introduces 'Outer Shell,' an open-source graphical environment for SSH that allows servers to host web-based applications accessible via a dedicated browser called 'Outer Loop.' This approach leverages Unix domain sockets and the existing SSH encryption layer to create a secure, dependency-free ecosystem where apps communicate through a central API.
Background
Traditional remote server management relies heavily on command-line interfaces, though some tools like Cockpit offer limited web-based GUIs. This proposal explores a more comprehensive, app-centric graphical shell accessible strictly over SSH.
