TypeScript API Reference

Create Tailscale Client

typescript
import { createTailscaleClient } from 'clodds/tailscale';
const tailscale = createTailscaleClient({
// Auth (optional if already logged in)
authKey: process.env.TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY,
// Socket path
socketPath: '/var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock',
});

Serve (Private Sharing)

typescript
// Share local port on tailnet
await tailscale.serve({
port: 3000,
protocol: 'https', // 'http' | 'https'
});
console.log(`Shared at: https://${tailscale.hostname}:3000`);
// Share at specific path
await tailscale.serve({
port: 8080,
path: '/api',
protocol: 'https',
});
// Share with custom hostname
await tailscale.serve({
port: 3000,
hostname: 'clodds', // clodds.tailnet-name.ts.net
});
// Stop sharing
await tailscale.serveStop(3000);
// Get serve status
const serves = await tailscale.serveStatus();
for (const serve of serves) {
console.log(`Port ${serve.port} → ${serve.url}`);
}

Funnel (Public Internet)

typescript
// Expose to public internet
await tailscale.funnel({
port: 3000,
protocol: 'https',
});
console.log(`Public URL: https://${tailscale.hostname}.ts.net`);
// With custom domain (if configured)
await tailscale.funnel({
port: 3000,
hostname: 'api.example.com',
});
// Stop funnel
await tailscale.funnelStop(3000);
// Get funnel status
const funnels = await tailscale.funnelStatus();
for (const funnel of funnels) {
console.log(`Port ${funnel.port} → ${funnel.publicUrl}`);
}

Network Status

typescript
// Get status
const status = await tailscale.status();
console.log(`Hostname: ${status.hostname}`);
console.log(`IP: ${status.ip}`);
console.log(`Tailnet: ${status.tailnet}`);
console.log(`Online: ${status.online}`);
// List peers
const peers = await tailscale.peers();
for (const peer of peers) {
console.log(`${peer.hostname} (${peer.ip})`);
console.log(` OS: ${peer.os}`);
console.log(` Online: ${peer.online}`);
console.log(` Last seen: ${peer.lastSeen}`);
}
// Ping peer
const ping = await tailscale.ping('other-machine');
console.log(`Latency: ${ping.latencyMs}ms`);

File Transfer

typescript
// Send file to peer
await tailscale.sendFile({
file: '/path/to/file.zip',
peer: 'other-machine',
});
// Receive files (returns when file received)
const received = await tailscale.receiveFile({
savePath: '/downloads',
timeout: 60000,
});
console.log(`Received: ${received.filename}`);
console.log(`From: ${received.sender}`);
console.log(`Size: ${received.size} bytes`);

Get Tailscale IP

typescript
const ip = await tailscale.getIP();
console.log(`Tailscale IP: ${ip}`); // 100.x.x.x

Use Cases

Share Dev Server

typescript
// Share local dev server with team
await tailscale.serve({ port: 3000 });
// Team can access at https://your-machine.tailnet.ts.net:3000

Expose Webhook Endpoint

typescript
// Make webhook publicly accessible
await tailscale.funnel({ port: 3000, path: '/webhooks' });
// External services can POST to https://your-machine.ts.net/webhooks

Share Bot with Phone

typescript
// Access bot from phone while away from desk
await tailscale.serve({ port: 18789 });
// Open https://your-machine.tailnet.ts.net:18789/webchat on phone

Requirements

  • Tailscale installed and running
  • Logged into a Tailnet
  • For Funnel: Funnel enabled in Tailscale admin

Best Practices

  1. Use Serve for internal — Keep private services private
  2. Use Funnel sparingly — Only for truly public endpoints
  3. Add authentication — Funnel bypasses Tailscale auth
  4. Monitor access — Check who's connecting
  5. Stop when done — Don't leave services exposed
