Connect to machines via SSH directly in your browser, monitor network health with TailCanary, and see real-time connection quality across your entire tailnet.\n\n### Key Features\n\n- **Browser SSH** - Full terminal access without leaving your browser\n- **TailCanary Network Diagnostics** - Real-time ping monitoring with latency graphs\n- **Connection Type Detection** - See if peers are using direct, DERP relay, or peer relay connections\n- **Auto-discovery** - Automatically finds all machines on your tailnet\n- **Live Monitoring** - Continuous network health checks with automatic refresh\n- **Device Info** - View NAT type, online status, and system information\n- **Quick Search** - Filter machines by name, user, tag, or connection type\n- **Responsive Design** - Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile\n\n---\n\n## Quick Start\n\n**Two ways to run TailTunnel:**\n- **macOS App** (`brew install --cask`) - GUI menu bar app with OAuth login\n- **CLI Binary** (`brew install`) - Command-line tool for servers/headless systems\n- **Docker** - Containerized deployment for always-on servers\n\nChoose the method that best fits your needs below.\n\n### macOS Menu Bar App (Recommended for Desktop)\n\nThe easiest way to run TailTunnel on macOS - no auth keys needed!\n\n**Install via Homebrew:**\n```bash\nbrew install --cask rajsinghtech/tap/tailtunnel\n```\n\n**Or download manually:**\n1. Download `TailTunnel.zip` from [releases](https://github.com/rajsinghtech/tailtunnel/releases/latest)\n2. Unzip and drag `TailTunnel.app` to `/Applications`\n3. Launch the app\n4. Click \"Login to Tailscale\" - your browser will open automatically\n5. Authenticate in your browser\n6. Click \"Open Dashboard\" when connected\n\n**Configuration:**\nSettings stored at `~/.tailtunnel/config.json`:\n- Hostname (default: `tailtunnel`)\n- State directory (default: `~/.tailtunnel/state`)\n\n**Uninstall:**\n```bash\nbrew uninstall --cask tailtunnel\n# Or manually:\nrm -rf /Applications/TailTunnel.app ~/.tailtunnel\n```\n\n### Docker\n\nPerfect for servers and always-on deployments.\n\n**Step 1: Get a Tailscale Auth Key**\n\n1. Go to https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/keys\n2. Click \"Generate auth key\"\n3. Copy the key (starts with `tskey-auth-`)\n\n**Step 2: Run with Docker**\n\n```bash\ndocker run -d \\\n  --name tailtunnel \\\n  -e TS_AUTHKEY=your-key-here \\\n  -v tailtunnel-state:/var/lib/tailtunnel \\\n  ghcr.io/rajsinghtech/tailtunnel:latest\n```\n\n**Or with Docker Compose:**\n\nCreate `docker-compose.yml`:\n```yaml\nservices:\n  tailtunnel:\n    image: ghcr.io/rajsinghtech/tailtunnel:latest\n    container_name: tailtunnel\n    restart: unless-stopped\n    environment:\n      - TS_AUTHKEY=${TS_AUTHKEY}\n    volumes:\n      - tailtunnel-state:/var/lib/tailtunnel\n\nvolumes:\n  tailtunnel-state:\n```\n\nCreate `.env`:\n```bash\nTS_AUTHKEY=your-tailscale-auth-key\n```\n\nStart:\n```bash\ndocker-compose up -d\n```\n\n**Step 3: Access the Dashboard**\n\nTailTunnel serves on your tailnet with automatic HTTPS:\n```\nhttps://tailtunnel.your-tailnet.ts.net/\n```\n\nYou'll see:\n- **TailCanary**: Real-time network diagnostics with ping monitoring and latency graphs\n- **SSH Machines**: All your SSH-enabled machines with one-click terminal access\n\n### CLI Binary via Homebrew (macOS/Linux)\n\nFor headless servers, scripting, or if you prefer command-line tools:\n\n```bash\nbrew install rajsinghtech/tap/tailtunnel\n```\n\nRun with auth key:\n```bash\nexport TS_AUTHKEY=your-tailscale-auth-key\ntailtunnel\n```\n\nOr with OAuth (opens browser):\n```bash\ntailtunnel  # Browser will open for authentication\n```\n\n**State directory:** By default, state is stored in `~/.tailtunnel/state`. You can override this with the `STATE_DIR` environment variable.\n\n### Build from Source\n\n#### Prerequisites\n- Go 1.25 or later\n- Node.js 20 or later\n\n#### Build Steps\n\n**CLI binary:**\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/rajsinghtech/tailtunnel.git\ncd tailtunnel\nmake build\n./tailtunnel\n```\n\n**macOS app:**\n```bash\nmake build-macos-app\ncp -r TailTunnel.app /Applications/\n```\n\n**Docker image:**\n```bash\ndocker build -t tailtunnel .\n```\n\n---\n\n## Configuration\n\n### macOS App\n\nConfigure via the Settings menu:\n- **Hostname**: Your tailnet hostname (default: `tailtunnel`)\n\nSettings stored at `~/.tailtunnel/config.json`\n\n### Docker / CLI\n\nConfigure using environment variables:\n\n| Variable | Description | Default | Required |\n|----------|-------------|---------|----------|\n| `TS_AUTHKEY` | Tailscale auth key | - | No (uses OAuth if not set) |\n| `STATE_DIR` | Tailscale state directory | `~/.tailtunnel/state` (CLI)\u003cbr\u003e`/var/lib/tailtunnel` (Docker) | No |\n\n**Note:** The macOS app uses OAuth and doesn't need an auth key. For Docker/CLI, you can omit `TS_AUTHKEY` to use OAuth (opens browser).\n\n### Getting a Tailscale Auth Key\n\n1. Visit https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/keys\n2. Click \"Generate auth key\"\n3. Choose reusable and no expiration for servers\n4.
