any hint or possibility to use tview on server?

[hick]

I mean to develop a telnet server using tview, and use telnet client to connect to such server resposing with tview terminal ui ?

tview.NewApplication().SetRoot(box, true).Run() will output the tview ui on the server directly

I created sshtargate to accomplish this for SSH connections by creating a pseudo-terminal and then copying between the input/output of the pty and the SSH connection.

I'll close this. @hick, please get in touch with @tslocum. He managed to do this and can answer your questions.

Linked sources does not seem to use tview, nor tcell at all.

Allocating OS pty should not be required for this task, just to wrap ssh channel ReadWriteCloser with tcell.Tty methods to expose window dimensions, window dimensions change callback and noop implementation for other methods, see gdamore/tcell#148

Sadly tcell's NewTerminfoScreenFromTty seem to be hard-wired to load terminfo details from local environment and there is no means in current API to override it.

gdamore/tcell#479 hopefully should provide such means in form of NewTerminfoScreenFromTtyTerminfo.

The previously mentioned function was merged, so I decided to try it out with an integration example using gliderlabs/ssh and it works!
