I am working on a Django app with following features.

• online terminal to all users on my local network

• The terminal frame should open at the bottom view, as soon as they are logged in.

• There's a code editor in the top frame.

Their exists a linux account on the server with the same credentials that they use to login.

What I want:

• spawn a terminal instance
• ssh's to their remote account
• change directory to their home directory as directed by ssh-config file
• persist the terminal connection until they logout.

Bear in mind, this is all local, so accounts are all localplace, accessible.

I have created the top editor view, for now and it looks like this

How do I add this sort of terminal here? How do sites like StudyTerminal do it? How can I implement this?

I have looked at implementations of shellInaBox and GateOne but they occupy full screen space and are their own server. I don't want another server just to provide a terminal. Can anybody help me sort this out?

Probably like a Jquery / AJAX terminal interface that takes the following parameters:

new terminal{

   ssh_location : 10.10.56.24,
   port: 12001,
   username: username,
   password: ######,
   window_height: 100px;
   window_width: 200px;
   resizable:none
}

What's very important is that the terminal session should not occupy the full screen. Heavy functionalities such as multi user sessions, security may or not be necessary.
