## Overview

rtty is a powerful remote terminal solution composed of clients and a [server].

**Client Implementations:**
- **C Client:** Ultra-lightweight, designed for embedded Linux and resource-constrained devices.
- **Go Client:** Easy cross-platform compilation, suitable for rapid integration and cloud-native/container environments.

The server is implemented in Go, with a modern frontend built using [Vue].

You can access your device from anywhere via a web browser, and manage devices using unique device IDs.

rtty is ideal for remote maintenance and management of large-scale distributed Linux devices, making it a great choice for enterprise operations.

**Go client repository:** [https://github.com/zhaojh329/rtty-go](https://github.com/zhaojh329/rtty-go)
