feat(reachability): suggest Tailscale Funnel when a node cannot get WSS on its own address - #245
setup prints Tailscale Funnel steps when it found no public address, or found one that Let's Encrypt could not reach. The steps carry the node's real ws port and a link to the new doc. They are not printed when a WSS address was announced or when another program holds TCP 443.
A container gets different steps: add the compose sidecar, then run setup --announce in the container.
After a successful --announce, setup prints the curl test for that address and says the handshake came from the same machine. This applies to every proxied address.
--announce tries its handshake three times, 15 seconds apart, before refusing. A Funnel name that was just switched on needed about a minute for DNS and its certificate, and one attempt failed for a reason that was not found.
status shows a browser-address warning with the Funnel pointer in fix, on a node setup left without WSS. It is absent when an address is announced, TCP 443 is held by another program, another WSS address works, or a dropped name is waiting for its DNS.
Docs: new docs/tailscale-funnel.md (steps, Docker, what Tailscale can see, limits), indexed in docs/README.md and AGENTS.md, and linked from "Choosing a path" in docs/reachability.md.
docker-compose.example.yml carries an optional Tailscale sidecar, commented out.
Tested by hand
Host, behind NAT:setup printed the steps, tailscale funnel --bg 4002, then setup --announce verified and announced the ts.net address. A WebSocket upgrade from another network returned 101 six times out of six.
Docker sidecar, image built from this branch: the container reached the no-public-address branch, the sidecar turned Funnel on from the inline config, setup --announce succeeded, and the upgrade from another network returned 101 six times out of six. Of 60 upgrades opened at once, 57 succeeded.
Not done
No detection or automation of Tailscale; the hostname in the printed command is a placeholder.
The self-dial with Tailscale's MagicDNS on was not tested. The doc says so.
The daemon does not notice a Funnel that was turned off, because the ts.net name keeps resolving. The doc says how to stop announcing it.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Reachability setup retries failed announced-address handshakes up to three times, with 15 seconds between attempts, and provides a hint for testing addresses from another network.
Status checks can warn when a node lacks a browser-accessible address and suggest Tailscale Funnel as an option.
Documentation
Added a guide to setting up Tailscale Funnel, including privacy considerations and limitations.
Updated reachability guidance and the Docker Compose example with optional Funnel setup instructions.
…WSS on the node's own address
setup prints the Funnel steps, with the node's ws port, when no public address
was found or Let's Encrypt could not reach the one it found. A container gets
the compose sidecar steps instead. After a successful --announce it prints the
curl test for that address, since the handshake comes from the same machine,
and it now tries that handshake three times before refusing.
Reachability setup now retries failed announced-address handshakes and provides Tailscale Funnel guidance in specified cases. Reachability status can warn configured nodes without WSS addresses. New documentation and a commented Docker Compose example describe Funnel setup.
Changes: Tailscale Funnel reachability
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Setup guidance and announce verification src/reachability/guidance.ts, src/reachability/setup.ts, test/reachability/setup.test.ts
Setup can print host or container Funnel guidance and an external-network test hint. Announce verification retries failed dials up to three times, with a configurable delay that defaults to 15 seconds. Tests cover retry outcomes and guidance conditions.
Browser-address status warning src/reachability/checks.ts, src/cli/commands/reachability/status.ts, test/reachability/checks.test.ts, test/cli/reachability-status.test.ts
Configured nodes now receive a browser-address warning when they lack an announced WSS address and no listed condition suppresses the warning. Tests cover the warning and suppression cases.
Funnel documentation and Compose example docs/tailscale-funnel.md, docs/reachability.md, docs/README.md, docker-compose.example.yml, AGENTS.md
The documentation describes Funnel setup, testing, and limitations, and links the guide from the docs index and contributor lookup. The Compose example adds commented, optional Tailscale sidecar configuration.
bitsocialnet/bitsocial-cli#223: Changes browser-address reporting in reachability status, including checks for unmanaged WSS addresses.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 1e223
The new Funnel guide has two inaccurate setup steps: macOS users may hit "command not found", and Docker users on a tailnet without Funnel approval are given a command that only prints help. Correct both before merging. The code and the Compose example are unaffected.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #226 requests Funnel guidance for the specified unreachable setup outcomes, the configured WebSocket port, proxied-address testing, documentation, and a conditional status hint. The change summaries and source support the setup guidance, retries, test hint, documentation, and setup branch coverage. However, noWssAddressCheck suppresses the browser-address hint for a busy TCP 443 port only when hasPublicAddress is true. It still displays the hint when TCP 443 is busy and no public address exists. The linked issue’s status decision and the PR description require the hint to be absent when another program holds TCP 443.
Resolution
Update noWssAddressCheck and its tests so a busy TCP 443 port suppresses the browser-address Funnel hint in all cases required by issue #226.

1. **Run `bitsocial reachability setup`** while the daemon runs. It prints the port to forward, e.g. `tailscale funnel --bg 4002`. The port is kubo's loopback WebSocket port, stored as `wsPort` in `<dataPath>/reachability/config.json`.
2. **Install Tailscale** from <https://tailscale.com/download> and sign in. On Linux that is `sudo tailscale up`. On Windows and macOS, sign in through the app.

Tell users to enable MagicDNS before Funnel
When the tailnet has MagicDNS disabled, following these steps through sign-in and Funnel approval still does not satisfy Funnel's prerequisites, so the advertised ts.net endpoint will not work and the subsequent setup --announce handshake will fail. Tailscale explicitly lists MagicDNS as a Funnel requirement in its official Funnel documentation; add an enable/check step here and to the Docker instructions.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 1e22374. Tailscale's Funnel page lists MagicDNS as a requirement, so the host steps and the Docker steps in docs/tailscale-funnel.md now say to check it on the DNS page.

noWssAddressCheck returns undefined whenever tcp443 === "busy", even when the node has no public address. setup (src/reachability/setup.ts, the publicIps.length === 0 branch, which runs before the portBusy branch) prints the Funnel steps in that case.
Concrete scenario: a node behind CGNAT with no domain and nginx already on TCP 443.
setup prints the Funnel steps.
bitsocial reachability status shows no browser-address warning and no Funnel fix.
That also contradicts docs/tailscale-funnel.md, which says status shows "the same pointer" setup gives. The comment above this check says a busy 443 means the node is reachable. That doesn't hold without a public address, and Funnel doesn't use the host's TCP 443 anyway.
Suggested fix: only apply the busy exemption when the node has a public address. For example, pass facts.publicIps into this check. Alternatively, document the difference.

Fixed in 1e22374. Confirmed: setup reaches its no-public-address branch before the busy-port branch. noWssAddressCheck now takes hasPublicAddress and drops the pointer for a busy TCP 443 only when the machine has a public address on its interfaces. Two tests cover it. One difference remains and the doc states it: status does not ask the router as setup does, so on a node whose only public address is the router's, with another program on TCP 443, status shows the pointer while setup prints the reverse proxy guidance.

…and no address is public
setup prints the Funnel steps for a node with no public address even when
another program holds TCP 443, but status dropped its pointer whenever the
port was busy. The busy-port exemption now applies only when the machine
has a public address on its interfaces.
Docs and printed steps, from review:
- Funnel needs MagicDNS enabled for the tailnet
- wait for the name to resolve in public DNS (up to 10 minutes) instead of
a fixed minute
- the client-logging opt-out differs per platform

hasPublicAddress: facts.publicIps.length > 0 doesn't see the same addresses setup does. setup (discoverPublicIps, src/reachability/setup.ts) also counts kubo's observed addresses and the router's UPnP external IP. status only has interface IPs, because config.publicIps is [] when nothing was issued.
Scenario: a home node behind a UPnP router with nginx or Caddy already on TCP 443.
setup finds the external IP, sees 443 busy, and prints the reverse-proxy guidance with no Funnel steps.
status sees only private interface IPs, so hasPublicAddress is false and proxyGuidanceApplies is false. With announce empty, it warns on browser-address and points at Funnel, which contradicts what setup said.
Fix: give status the same public-address evidence as setup. Alternatively, persist in the config that setup took the reverse-proxy branch and have noWssAddressCheck key off that. The unit tests only pass hasPublicAddress in directly, so they don't cover this derivation.

Fixed in 350aa50. status now uses hasPublicAddressEvidence: interface addresses plus the addresses running kubo reports through publicIpsFromMultiaddrs, leaving out the ones we told kubo to announce, which is what setup uses. Tests cover the derivation. One gap remains and the doc states it: status does not ask the router itself, so with the daemon stopped only interfaces count.

…kubo reports, as setup has
status judged 'has a public address' from interfaces alone, so behind a UPnP
router with another program on TCP 443 it pointed at Funnel while setup
printed the reverse proxy guidance. It now also counts the addresses running
kubo reports, apart from the ones we told it to announce.
Docs, from review: how to reach the tailscale CLI on macOS, and a Funnel

noWssAddressCheck never considers a stored config.domain, so it contradicts setup when a domain is waiting for a reverse proxy.
Scenario: setup --domain example.com --force on a node with no detectable public IP and another program on TCP 443. setup takes the portBusy && domain && domainUsable branch (setup.ts, which runs before the publicIps.length === 0 branch). It prints the reverse-proxy snippet and stores announce: [] with domain set. status then gets announce: [], tcp443: "busy" and hasPublicAddress: false, so proxyGuidanceApplies is false. It shows "Setup could not give this node a WSS address" with a Tailscale Funnel fix, while the tcp-443 check says to use the domain with the existing server as a reverse proxy.
Suggested fix: pass something like proxyDomain: !!config.domain && tcp443 === "busy" from status.ts and treat it like proxyGuidanceApplies. The stale-domain case needs care: a stored domain that was not forced and has gone stale should not count.
