How to have a server run and display a terminal instance?

Question

I have a Ruby Program. I would like a user to type in a URI and have a terminal window display in-browser that is running an instance of the .rb file. The user should be able to type into the browser as they would if they were running the .rb file locally on their terminal machine and have the server respond. What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

Maybe something like this will work. Linode uses this to allow end users to login to their slices. Might be able to use the same thing in this instance.
