Development

Server dev mode (ror dev) and Tailscale port 4500

server/ror.kdl provides two server tasks:

• ror dev — live reload + local proxy (127.0.0.1:4500 -> 127.0.0.1:4501)
• ror dev:server — live reload without proxy (direct app on 127.0.0.1:4501)

Why this setup exists:

• Air's built-in proxy binds to wildcard host (0.0.0.0) and cannot be forced to bind localhost-only.
• On this machine, port 4500 is exposed by Tailscale, so wildcard bind causes conflicts.
• Workaround: use Air only for rebuild/restart and run a tiny custom reverse proxy (cmd/devproxy) bound to 127.0.0.1:4500.

API UI (dev-only)

Browser API test pages are available only in dev mode (ror dev / ror dev:server):

• /apiui
• /apiui/latest/auth/login

In non-dev runs (for example go run ./cmd/hata or ./out/hata serve), /apiui* routes are not mounted.

Roadmap

• Role-based access
• Device scanning
• REST API
• Mobile app
• Historical data tracking
• Configurable dashboards
• Automation scenarios
• Guest mode
