+@cindex WebSSH
+@deffn {Scheme Variable} webssh-service-type
+This is the type for the @uref{https://webssh.huashengdun.org/, WebSSH}
+program that runs a web SSH client. WebSSH can be run manually from the
+command-line by passing arguments to the binary @command{wssh} from the
+package @code{webssh}, but it can also be run as a Guix service. This
+latter use case is documented here.
+
+For example, to specify a service running WebSSH on loopback interface
+on port @code{8888} with reject policy with a list of allowed to
+connection hosts, and NGINX as a reverse-proxy to this service listening
+for HTTPS connection, add this call to the operating system's
+@code{services} field:
+
+@lisp
+(service webssh-service-type
+ (webssh-configuration (address "127.0.0.1")
+ (port 8888)
+ (policy 'reject)
+ (known-hosts '("localhost ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAA…"
+ "127.0.0.1 ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAA…"))))
+
+(service nginx-service-type
+ (nginx-configuration
+ (server-blocks
+ (list
+ (nginx-server-configuration
+ (inherit %webssh-configuration-nginx)
+ (server-name '("webssh.example.com"))
+ (listen '("443 ssl"))
+ (ssl-certificate (letsencrypt-certificate "webssh.example.com"))
+ (ssl-certificate-key (letsencrypt-key "webssh.example.com"))
+ (locations
+ (cons (nginx-location-configuration
+ (uri "/.well-known")
+ (body '("root /var/www;")))
+ (nginx-server-configuration-locations %webssh-configuration-nginx))))))))
+@end lisp
