🌐 Web (Self-Hosted)

Run TabSSH on your own server or NAS. Full app in the browser, plus a server-blind E2E-encrypted sync endpoint and device-pairing broker for the Android and Desktop apps. Single Go binary or Docker image — any OS Docker runs on.

🐳 Docker (Recommended)

Pull and run the published image. Persistent volumes keep your config and encrypted data across restarts. 

docker run -d \
  --name tabssh-web \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v tabssh-config:/config/tabssh \
  -v tabssh-data:/data/tabssh \
  ghcr.io/tabssh/web:latest

Or with Docker Compose:

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
Open http://your-server:8080, create the first admin account, and add your first host.

📦 Standalone Binary

Prefer running without Docker? Precompiled binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows are on the release page: 

./tabssh --config /etc/tabssh/tabssh/server.yml

Coming Soon — Distribution Channels

📱 Android

🏪 F-Droid

We're working on publishing to F-Droid as io.github.tabssh for automatic updates and verified open-source builds.

Future URL: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.tabssh

No Play Store. TabSSH won't be published on Google Play — F-Droid + GitHub Releases keep us free of Play Services dependencies and review-policy creep, and let de-Googled ROM users install without a workaround.
