Web Console

The Web Console is a built-in browser interface for communicating with Zylos. It requires no external accounts or platform setup -- just open a URL and start chatting.

Estimated setup time: Already included with Zylos core

How It Works

The Web Console is a lightweight web chat interface that runs its own HTTP server on port 3456. Caddy (the reverse proxy) exposes it at the /console path on your domain (port 80/443), so users access it via https://your-domain.com/console. Messages flow through the same C4 Communication Bridge as other channels.

Accessing the Console

If you configured a domain during installation:

https://your-domain.com/console

For local access (bypassing Caddy):

http://localhost:3456

Authentication

The Web Console uses password-based authentication. A password is automatically generated and displayed when Zylos finishes installation.

To retrieve your password later:

• From the shell: run zylos shell, then ask "what's my web console password?"
• From another channel: ask Zylos through Telegram, Lark, or any connected IM

To change the password manually, edit ~/zylos/.env:

WEB_CONSOLE_PASSWORD=your-new-password

Then restart the service:

pm2 restart web-console

Features

• Real-time messaging -- Send and receive messages in your browser
• Markdown rendering -- Responses are rendered with full markdown support

When to Use It

The Web Console is ideal for:

• Quick access from any device without installing an app
• Initial setup before you've configured Telegram or Lark
• Shared access -- give someone the URL and password for temporary access
• Development -- test interactions without switching to a messaging app
