Clawdbot on a Mac Mini (secondary machine) with Tailscale
My goal is to setup Clawdbot on a Mac Mini that stays at home. So far it's working fine, but I wish to achieve the following:
- Use the Status Bar Mac App on my Macbook Pro away and at home
- Go into the Web UI from the Macbook Pro away and at home
What I have:
- Working version on the Mac Mini with Telegram as the channel
- Tailscale account and setup on both machines
Somehow I don't get it working properly, when I try to use tailscale. Not sure why.

Solution
since the mac app is not super stable yet, one easy thing you can do since you have tailscale is to ssh to your mac mini and just forward the port; then you can access the dashboard like you normally would from http://127.0.0.1:18789/chat
in my ~/.ssh/config I have
so i can access the dashboard (18789), clawd can control brower using the chrome extension (18792), and I made clawd serve the canvas on

:19999 . Basically gives you all the main functionality as if you were running locally but without the app
