+.SH EXAMPLES
+.PP
+ttyd starts web server at port 7681 by default, you can use the -p option to change it, the command will be started with arguments as options. For example, run:
+
+.PP
+.RS
+
+.nf
+ttyd -p 8080 bash -x
+
+.fi
+.RE

+Then open http://localhost:8080 with a browser, you will get a bash shell with debug mode enabled. More examples:
+
+.RS
+.IP \(bu 2
+If you want to login with your system accounts on the web browser, run \fB\fCttyd login\fR\&.
+.IP \(bu 2
+You can even run a none shell command like vim, try: \fB\fCttyd vim\fR, the web browser will show you a vim editor.
+.IP \(bu 2
+Sharing single process with multiple clients: \fB\fCttyd tmux new -A -s ttyd vim\fR, run \fB\fCtmux new -A -s ttyd\fR to connect to the tmux session from terminal.

+.SH SSL how-to
+.PP
+Generate SSL CA and self signed server/client certificates:

+.PP
+.RS

+.nf
+# CA certificate (FQDN must be different from server/client)
+openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048
+openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -subj "/C=CN/ST=GD/L=SZ/O=Acme, Inc./CN=Acme Root CA" -out ca.crt

+.SH Docker and ttyd
+.PP
+Docker containers are jailed environments which are more secure, this is useful for protecting the host system, you may use ttyd with docker like this:
+
+.RS
+.IP \(bu 2
+Sharing single docker container with multiple clients: docker run -it --rm -p 7681:7681 tsl0922/ttyd.
+.IP \(bu 2
+Creating new docker container for each client: ttyd docker run -it --rm ubuntu.
