Tailscale Serve Skill

Manage multiple paths with

tailscale serve

without conflicts.

Key Commands

Check what's currently served

tailscale serve status

Serve a directory or file at a specific path

# Directory
tailscale serve --bg --set-path /slides /path/to/directory

# Single file
tailscale serve --bg --set-path /presentation /path/to/file.html

# Port (for running services)
tailscale serve --bg --set-path /api http://localhost:8080

Serve from a port at root (replaces everything)

tailscale serve --bg 8888

Remove a specific path

tailscale serve --https=443 /slides off

Reset all serving

tailscale serve reset

Important Notes

Path conflicts: Serving at
```
/
```
will override all other paths
Background mode: Use
```
--bg
```
to keep it running
Multiple paths: You can serve multiple things simultaneously with different paths
Status first: Always check
```
tailscale serve status
```
before adding new paths

Common Patterns

Serve presentation alongside control UI

# If control UI is at /, serve presentation at a subpath
tailscale serve --bg --set-path /slides ~/clawd/personal-agents-presentation.html

# Access at: https://[hostname].ts.net/slides

Serve multiple directories

tailscale serve --bg --set-path /docs ~/documents
tailscale serve --bg --set-path /slides ~/presentations
tailscale serve --bg --set-path /files ~/files

Serve a local dev server

tailscale serve --bg --set-path /app http://localhost:3000

Workflow

Check current status:
```
tailscale serve status
```
Choose an unused path (e.g.,
```
/slides
```
,
```
/docs
```
,
```
/api
```
)
Serve with
```
--set-path /your-path /source
```
Verify with
```
tailscale serve status
```
again
Share the full URL:
```
https://[hostname].ts.net/your-path
```

Troubleshooting

"Can't access my served content"

Check
```
tailscale serve status
```
- is it at the path you expect?
Did something else overwrite the root
```
/
```
?

"Want to replace everything with a port"

tailscale serve reset
tailscale serve --bg 8888

"Want to add to existing setup"

# Don't use reset! Just add with --set-path
tailscale serve --bg --set-path /newpath /source
