OMP Session Gateway

Decision guide

Keep the terminal, or move the work to a browser?

Start with the workflow you want to keep. A directory for running terminal sessions, a browser-hosted workspace, and remote shell access solve different problems.

Keep your running OMP terminal sessions

OMP Session Gateway puts participating interactive sessions on one private mobile page and opens View or Control in OMP's existing encrypted collaboration client. The gateway keeps bounded metadata, not transcripts.

Stock OMP ≥18.1.20 supplies the native registry and controller. No fork, custom OMP build, or gateway-specific OMP plugin is needed. The gateway remains a separate companion.

One-time setup: install the gateway with Bun 1.4.0, enable collab.autoStart, and configure TUN-mode Tailscale Serve with an exact user allowlist and Funnel disabled. Then start sessions with plain omp — no per-session link copying. Setup guide.

Evidence and limits

The latest stable gateway release is published from a qualified signed candidate. Its minimum OMP version is an integration contract, not evidence that every later version or platform was tested. Qualification covers the exact OMP 18.3.0/Bun 1.4.0 Debian/macOS/Windows Server 2025/Pixel matrix, background Web Push on the Pixel, and a 1,800-second relay check, not eight hours. Linux, macOS, and Windows hosts and the Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit browser engines are supported and tested in CI, which is not qualification. Specialized attention, branch/resume, and broader host/browser combinations remain unqualified. The status page and release ledger retain the per-release evidence.

Primary READMEs and package metadata checked 2026-09-14. This is a workflow comparison, not a hands-on interoperability test or a security assessment of the other projects. Their scope can change; follow the source links before deciding. The upstream discussion provides further context.
