Use cases
Built for teams thatlive in the terminal.
From coding agents to cloud infrastructure, DeskPort gives your team browser access to the CLI tools on your server, with policies, live monitoring and recordings.
01 · One controlled place for agents to run
AI coding agents
Run coding agents on one controlled server, not on every laptop.
The problem
Coding agents run shell commands on whatever machine they are installed on. Spread across laptops, nobody can see what they touched or limit where they work.
With DeskPort
Install the DeskPort agent on a server where your team's tools are set up. Teammates open a browser tab and get a sandboxed terminal limited to the project directories you choose, while you watch sessions live and keep a full record.
- 01Sandboxed to project directories
- 02Admins can watch any session live
- 03Every session recorded for replay
- 04No API keys handed to individual laptops
02 · Stop passing keys around
Cloud infrastructure access
Grant CLI access without sharing credentials.
The problem
DevOps teams share AWS credentials, kubeconfig files and SSH keys to give developers access to infrastructure. There is no granular control, no audit trail, and one leaked key compromises everything.
With DeskPort
An admin authenticates kubectl, the AWS CLI, terraform and the rest on the host once. DeskPort exposes those tools through browser terminals with per-session sandboxing, so developers never handle the credentials.
- 01Credentials stay on the server
- 02Allow or block tools per policy
- 03Session events in the audit log
- 04Remove a user without rotating keys
03 · A working terminal in a browser tab
Training & onboarding
Pre-configured terminals. No setup friction.
The problem
Onboarding new developers takes days of installing tools, configuring environments and getting VPN access. Workshops lose their first hour to getting everyone's terminal working.
With DeskPort
Create session templates with the tools and directories already set. New hires open a link and get a working terminal. Instructors can watch sessions as they happen.
- 01One template for a whole cohort
- 02Instructors watch sessions live
- 03Sessions recorded for review
- 04Sandboxed to allowed directories and tools
04 · Evidence for your auditors
Compliance & audit
Every session recorded. Every session event logged.
The problem
Teams in regulated industries need a trail for system access. SSH logging is fragile, and most teams cannot easily show who ran what, and when.
With DeskPort
DeskPort records each session's input and output in asciicast v2 format, logs events such as logins, session start and end, invites and template changes with user IDs and timestamps, and lets admins watch sessions in real time.
- 01Audit log of session and admin events
- 02Real-time session monitoring
- 03Full terminal recordings for playback
- 04Self-hostable on your infrastructure
