{setup,start,serve,start-local,start-direct,stop,restart,status,enable,log,disable,pair,unpair,list,rm,help} ...
Manage the Trustmux daemon
positional arguments:
{setup,start,serve,start-local,start-direct,stop,restart,status,enable,log,disable,pair,unpair,list,rm,help}
setup One-time setup: verify install, configure tailscale serve
start Start daemon via tailscale serve (HTTPS — default)
serve ==SUPPRESS==
start-local Start daemon loopback-only for SSH tunnel access
start-direct Start daemon direct HTTPS (self-signed cert, no Tailscale)
stop Stop daemon and remove its tailscale serve mapping
restart Restart daemon
status Show running status and URL
enable Start daemon and install login hook for automatic start
log Tail the log file
disable Stop daemon and remove login hook
pair Generate a one-time pairing code for a new device
unpair List paired devices and revoke tokens
list List instances and their listeners
rm Delete an instance's state directory
help ==SUPPRESS==
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
stop removes the tailscale serve mapping it created; to remove all serve config: tailscale serve
reset
Options (6)
| Option | Description | Source |

-h, --help | show this help message and exit | help |
--port PORT | TCP port the daemon listens on (default: 7432). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
--advertise SOURCE | Address a phone should use, for when it is not the one this host can see. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
--no-advertise | Advertise nothing, ignoring any source in TRUSTMUX_ADVERTISE or the instance's configuration file. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |

--force | Accepted by rm. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
Examples (9) from the manual page, untested
trustmux setup
Typical first-time setup:trustmux status
Daily use:trustmux start-direct --port 3389
Run on a different port;trustmux start-direct --name work --port 3389
A second daemon alongside the first, with its own tokens and log:export TRUSTMUX_CONFIG_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
A throwaway daemon that touches none of the above:cat /usr/local/bin/external-ip
On a cloud instance whose public address the host itself cannot see.trustmux start-direct --advertise cmd:/usr/local/bin/external-ip
On a cloud instance whose public address the host itself cannot see.trustmux pair
On a cloud instance whose public address the host itself cannot see.mkdir -p ~/.config/trustmux/instances
To keep it across reboots, put the source in the instance's configuration file (see FILES) rather than in the command line, and the address is looked up afresh each time:
