Browser Terminal
Open an interactive shell inside a running application instance.
The browser terminal gives you a live shell inside a running instance of your application, straight from the console. Use it to inspect the filesystem, check processes, or run a one off command.
Open a Shell
Open the Shell tab on an application. It connects automatically to a ready instance
and starts a shell (sh). The toolbar shows the connection status and lets you:
- Pick an instance. If your app runs more than one instance, choose which to attach to.
- Change the command. Run something other than
sh. Leaving it empty falls back tosh. Changing it reconnects the session.
Things to Know
- A session attaches to one instance at a time.
- You can only open a shell on a running instance. If the app has none, scale it up or wait for a deployment to finish.
- Sessions are ephemeral. Reconnecting, switching instance, or changing the command ends the current session, and anything not written to a volume is lost when the instance restarts.
