WebCM

WebCM is a serverless terminal that runs a virtual Linux directly in the browser by emulating a RISC-V machine.

It's powered by the Cartesi Machine emulator, which enables deterministic, verifiable and sandboxed execution of RV64GC Linux applications.

It's packaged as a single 24MiB WebAssembly file containing the emulator, the kernel and Alpine Linux operating system.

To have a terminal in the browser the following projects were used:
