README

Web shell allows to run yii console commands using a browser.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist samdark/yii2-webshell "~2.0"

or add

"samdark/yii2-webshell": "~2.0"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Configuration

To use web shell, include it as a module in the application configuration like the following:

return [
    'modules' => [
        'webshell' => [
            'class' => 'samdark\webshell\Module',
            // 'yiiScript' => Yii::getAlias('@root'). '/yii', // adjust path to point to your ./yii script
        ],
    ],

    // ... other application configuration
]

With the above configuration, you will be able to access web shell in your browser using the URL http://localhost/path/to/index.php?r=webshell

Access control

By default access is restricted to local IPs. It could be changed via allowedIPs property. Additionally, checkAccessCallback is available to be able to introduce custom access control:

return [
    'modules' => [
        'webshell' => [
            'class' => 'samdark\webshell\Module',
            // 'yiiScript' => Yii::getAlias('@root'). '/yii', // adjust path to point to your ./yii script
            'allowedIPs' => ['127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.0.2'],
            'checkAccessCallback' => function (\yii\base\Action $action) {
                // return true if access is granted or false otherwise
                return true;
            }
        ],
    ],

    // ... other application configuration
]

Limitations

Web shell is unable to work interactively because of request-response nature of web. Therefore you should disable interactive mode for commands.
