dev-serve โ€” One-Command Dev Server Hosting

Start a dev server in a tmux session and expose it via Caddy at <project>.YOUR_DOMAIN. One command up, one command down.

Setup

Install the script: cp scripts/dev-serve.sh ~/.local/bin/dev-serve chmod +x ~/.local/bin/dev-serve Set your domain (one of): Export DEV_SERVE_DOMAIN in your shell profile Or edit the DOMAIN variable in the script Requirements: Caddy running with wildcard DNS + TLS (see caddy skill) tmux, jq, curl Caddy admin API on localhost:2019

CLI

dev-serve up <repo-path> [port] # Start dev server + add Caddy route dev-serve down <name> # Stop dev server + remove Caddy route dev-serve ls # List active dev servers dev-serve restart <name> # Restart dev server (keep Caddy route)

How It Works

Derives subdomain from the repo folder name (~/projects/myapp โ†’ myapp.YOUR_DOMAIN) Detects the dev command from package.json scripts.dev (supports vite, next, nuxt, sveltekit) Auto-patches Vite allowedHosts if a vite config file exists Starts the dev server in a tmux session named dev-<name> with --host 0.0.0.0 --port <port> Adds a Caddy route + dashboard link to the Caddyfile Reloads Caddy via admin API (no sudo, no restart) Verifies end-to-end: waits for the dev server to listen, then polls HTTPS until 2xx/3xx (up to 90s)

Examples

# Start with auto-assigned port (starts at 5200, skips used ports) dev-serve up ~/projects/myapp # โ†’ https://myapp.YOUR_DOMAIN # Explicit port dev-serve up ~/projects/myapp 5200 # Override dev command DEV_CMD="bun dev" dev-serve up ~/projects/myapp 5300 # Stop and clean up dev-serve down myapp # List what's running dev-serve ls

Configuration

VariableDefaultDescriptionDEV_SERVE_DOMAIN(must be set)Your wildcard domain (e.g. mini.example.com)DEV_SERVE_STATE_DIR~/.config/dev-serveWhere state JSON is storedCADDYFILE~/.config/caddy/CaddyfilePath to your CaddyfileCADDY_ADMINhttp://localhost:2019Caddy admin API addressDEV_CMD(auto-detected)Override the dev server command

Port Convention

Permanent services: 3100 range (managed in Caddyfile directly) Dev servers: 5200+ (managed by dev-serve, auto-assigned)

Vite allowedHosts

Vite blocks requests from unrecognized hostnames. dev-serve up automatically patches vite.config.ts (or .js/.mts/.mjs) to add the subdomain. If auto-patching fails, it prints the manual fix.

Architecture

Browser (Tailscale / LAN / etc.) โ†’ DNS: *.YOUR_DOMAIN โ†’ your server IP โ†’ Caddy (HTTPS with auto certs) โ†’ reverse_proxy localhost:<port> โ†’ Dev server (in tmux session)

Companion Skills

caddy โ€” Required. Sets up the Caddy reverse proxy with wildcard TLS.

Troubleshooting

Dev server not starting: tmux attach -t dev-<name> # see what happened Cert not provisioning (curl exit 35): Wait 30-60s for DNS-01 challenge. Check tail -20 /var/log/caddy-error.log. Caddy reload failed: caddy reload --config ~/.config/caddy/Caddyfile --address localhost:2019 403 from Vite: The subdomain wasn't added to allowedHosts. Add it manually to your vite.config.ts: server: { allowedHosts: ['myapp.YOUR_DOMAIN'] }

Category context

Code helpers, APIs, CLIs, browser automation, testing, and developer operations.
