asciinema server
asciinema server is a server-side component of the asciinema ecosystem.
It implements a hosting platform for terminal session recordings. This includes
an API endpoint for uploading recordings, which is used by the asciinema
CLI, and offers a familiar web
interface for viewing, browsing, sharing and managing recordings.
The server is built with Elixir language and
Phoenix framework, and embeds asciinema's
virtual terminal, avt, to perform tasks such
as preview generation and recording analysis.
asciinema.org is a public asciinema server instance
managed by the asciinema team, offering free hosting for terminal recordings,
available to everyone. Check asciinema.org/about
to learn more about this instance.
You can easily self-host asciinema
server and use the
asciinema CLI with your own instance.
If you're not comfortable with uploading your terminal sessions to
asciinema.org, if your company policy prevents you from doing so, or if you
simply prefer self-hosting everything, then asciinema has you covered.
Notable features:
- hosting of terminal session recordings in
asciicast format, - perfectly integrated asciinema
player for best viewing experience, - easy sharing of
recordings via secret links, - easy embedding of the
player, or linking via preview images (SVG), - privacy friendly - no tracking, no ads,
- visibility control for recordings: unlisted (secret) or public,
- editable recording metadata like title or long description (Markdown),
- configurable terminal themes and font families,
- ability to download pure text version (
.txt) of a recording.
