Cloudron portal on iOS - best browser ?

[timconsidine]

I normally access my Cloudron instance portal on desktop/laptop browser.
I just tried accessing an app’s terminal via iOS Safari to make some updates and realised the mobile keyboard isn’t great for terminal work.
Do other users here access the portal on phones to do some proper task (terminal / file manager) ? Rather than waiting to get access to computer.
If so, what’s your browser choice ?
Trying to be more productive and not bound to office/sofa
Android options also fine if better (have degoogled LineageOS and GrapheneOS options).

My terminal of choice on iOS/ipados is https://blink.sh/

Although when i interact with my cloudron, i rather do it with the cloudron cli, which cannot directly run in blink, but is running on a system i connect through mosh.

Ah, mosh, I think you mentioned this elsewhere.
Will check it out.
I want to edit markdown files in an app’s data folder, then run a bash script. (Actually hosted/deployed Hugo CMS site)
Will that be viable in blink/mosh ?

Just realised (doh) maybe all I need is external keyboard Bluetooth to phone
But will check out blink & mosh
Later because ferry companies still can’t deliver reasonable internet at sea
Even for a fee

Just out of interest: Any pros / cons against Termius? And if I use mosh, do I need a second open port or can I „re-use“ the SSH port?

That is exactly the use case for Mosh. It uses udp instead of tcp for the connection, so its much more resilient and allows working with a remote terminal even over shaky and high latency german train connections.

Its been quite a while since I tried Terminus last, but from what I can see they now also support mosh. I came from Termux on Android, so I was looking for something that also brings a (even though very limited) local shell environment. Another pro is that it includes VS Code Server directly (even though this one is a bit limited).

The initial handshake is done over the standard ssh port, but for everything else a port range needs to opened for udp connections. When using Mosh I would therefore always use it as a jump host (have one gateway device set up with mosh and connect from there via ssh to your other infrastructure).
