TIL: Make HTTP Requests Without curl Using Bash /dev/TCP

datasette-tailscale 0.1a0
Simon Willison's Weblog41 days agoReleaseSimon Willison released datasette-tailscale 0.1a0, an experimental alpha plugin that connects a local Datasette server to a Tailscale private network (Tailnet) via a single CLI command. Using a Tailscale auth key and a hostname flag, it starts a localhost server alongside a Tailscale sidecar, making the database reachable at a friendly Tailnet URL. The plugin relies on Python bindings for the experimental tailscale-rs Rust library; Willison has filed an upstream issue about the proxy mechanism, indicating the implementation may change.
