# Running Clawdis.app with a Remote Gateway
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Clawdis.app uses SSH tunneling to connect to a remote gateway. This guide shows you how to set it up.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Overview

```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Quick Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 1: Add SSH Config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit `~/.ssh/config` and add:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```ssh
|
||||||
|
Host remote-gateway
|
||||||
|
HostName <REMOTE_IP> # e.g., 172.27.187.184
|
||||||
|
User <REMOTE_USER> # e.g., jefferson
|
||||||
|
LocalForward 18789 127.0.0.1:18789
|
||||||
|
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Replace `<REMOTE_IP>` and `<REMOTE_USER>` with your values.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 2: Copy SSH Key
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copy your public key to the remote machine (enter password once):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa <REMOTE_USER>@<REMOTE_IP>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 3: Set Gateway Token
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
launchctl setenv CLAWDIS_GATEWAY_TOKEN "<your-token>"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 4: Start SSH Tunnel
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
ssh -N remote-gateway &
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 5: Restart Clawdis.app
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
killall Clawdis
|
||||||
|
open /path/to/Clawdis.app
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The app will now connect to the remote gateway through the SSH tunnel.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Auto-Start Tunnel on Login
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To have the SSH tunnel start automatically when you log in, create a Launch Agent.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Create the PLIST file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Save this as `~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdis.ssh-tunnel.plist`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
||||||
|
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
|
||||||
|
<plist version="1.0">
|
||||||
|
<dict>
|
||||||
|
<key>Label</key>
|
||||||
|
<string>com.clawdis.ssh-tunnel</string>
|
||||||
|
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
|
||||||
|
<array>
|
||||||
|
<string>/usr/bin/ssh</string>
|
||||||
|
<string>-N</string>
|
||||||
|
<string>remote-gateway</string>
|
||||||
|
</array>
|
||||||
|
<key>KeepAlive</key>
|
||||||
|
<true/>
|
||||||
|
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
|
||||||
|
<true/>
|
||||||
|
</dict>
|
||||||
|
</plist>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Load the Launch Agent
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdis.ssh-tunnel.plist
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The tunnel will now:
|
||||||
|
- Start automatically when you log in
|
||||||
|
- Restart if it crashes
|
||||||
|
- Keep running in the background
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Check if tunnel is running:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
ps aux | grep "ssh -N remote-gateway" | grep -v grep
|
||||||
|
lsof -i :18789
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Restart the tunnel:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
launchctl restart com.clawdis.ssh-tunnel
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Stop the tunnel:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdis.ssh-tunnel.plist
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

## How It Works
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Component | What It Does |
|
||||||
|
|-----------|--------------|
|
||||||
|
| `LocalForward 18789 127.0.0.1:18789` | Forwards local port 18789 to remote port 18789 |
|
||||||
|
| `ssh -N` | SSH without executing remote commands (just port forwarding) |
|
||||||
|
| `KeepAlive` | Automatically restarts tunnel if it crashes |
|
||||||
|
| `RunAtLoad` | Starts tunnel when the agent loads |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Clawdis.app connects to `ws://127.0.0.1:18789` on your MacBook. The SSH tunnel forwards that connection to port 18789 on the remote machine where the Gateway is running.
