summary: "Browser-based control UI for the Gateway (chat, nodes, config)"

- You want to operate the Gateway from a browser
- You want Tailnet access without SSH tunnels

# Control UI (browser)
The Control UI is a small **Vite + Lit** single-page app served by the Gateway under:
2025-12-19 05:13:07 +00:00
- `http://<host>:18789/`
2025-12-18 22:40:46 +00:00
It speaks **directly to the Gateway WebSocket** on the same port.
## What it can do (today)
- Chat with the model via Gateway WS (`chat.history`, `chat.send`, `chat.abort`)
- List nodes via Gateway WS (`node.list`)
- View/edit `~/.clawdis/clawdis.json` via Gateway WS (`config.get`, `config.set`)
## Tailnet access (recommended)
Expose the Gateway on your Tailscale interface and require a token:
```bash
clawdis gateway --bind tailnet --token "$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
```
Then open:
- `http://<tailscale-ip>:18789/ui/`
Paste the token into the UI settings (its sent as `connect.params.auth.token`).
## Building the UI
The Gateway serves static files from `dist/control-ui`. Build them with:
```bash
pnpm ui:install
pnpm ui:build
```
For local development (separate dev server):
```bash
pnpm ui:install
pnpm ui:dev
```
Then point the UI at your Gateway WS URL (e.g. `ws://127.0.0.1:18789`).
