WebTUIOS
Run TUIOS and an Alpine Linux terminal directly in your browser.
Overview
WebTUIOS is a console-only PWA that runs TUIOS on Alpine Linux in the browser through CheerpX and xterm.js. The page is the terminal, with no separate application chrome, and the guest filesystem persists through the browser's IndexedDB overlay.
TUIOS in the browser
Boot a pinned Alpine Linux image with TUIOS inside a browser-based terminal powered by CheerpX.
Terminal-first interface
Use TUIOS panes, commands, and keyboard shortcuts without a separate desktop shell around the terminal.
Browser-side networking
Use Tailscale networking from the guest and connect to the public internet through an available Tailnet Exit Node.
Installable PWA
Install the terminal as a standalone web app and keep browser-side filesystem changes in the local overlay.
Use and install
Open WebTUIOS in a supported browser. HTTPS deployments can be installed as a standalone PWA from the browser menu.

Yes. WebTUIOS uses browser-side Tailscale networking. Public internet access requires an allowed Tailnet Exit Node.
No. Windows development and use do not require WSL because the Linux environment runs in the browser.
