+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
+
+.PP
+Then open
+\[la]http://localhost:8080\[ra] 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
+
+# server certificate (for multiple domains, change subjectAltName to: DNS:example.com,DNS:www.example.com)
+openssl req \-newkey rsa:2048 \-nodes \-keyout server.key \-subj "/C=CN/ST=GD/L=SZ/O=Acme, Inc./CN=localhost" \-out server.csr

+You may want to test the client certificate verification with \fIcurl\fP(1):
+
+.PP
+.RS
+
+.nf
+curl \-\-insecure \-\-cert client.p12[:password] \-v https://localhost:7681
+
+.fi
+.RE
+

+If you don't want to enable client certificate verification, remove the \fB\fC\-\-ssl\-ca\fR option.
+
+
+.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.

+
+
+.SH Nginx reverse proxy
+.PP
+Sample config to proxy ttyd under the \fB\fC/ttyd\fR path:
+
+.PP
+.RS

+.nf
+location \~ ^/ttyd(.*)$ {
+ proxy\_http\_version 1.1;
+ proxy\_set\_header Host $host;
