docs(install): describe installer v2 and the Tailscale naming options
README, the Installation / Remote-Access / Running-As-A-Service wiki pages, docs/security-architecture.md and CLAUDE.md describe the three-question flow, the flags, the subcommands, the sub-path answer for an occupied :443 and why the rename is opt-in. docs/installer-v2-plan.md is the design and the verification record (what was measured, what still needs a fresh machine); docs/tailscale-installer-plan.md points at it.

This installs Node.js, tmux and a build toolchain if missing (node-pty ships no Linux prebuilds, so it compiles from source), clones Codeman to `~/.codeman/app`, and builds it. It looks at what is already on the machine, asks at most three questions, then does all the work unattended and ends on the URL with a QR code for your phone. A few things worth knowing:
|
||||
|
||||
- **It asks first.** Every system change (package installs, AI CLI download) is prompted, and a menu at the end lets you choose: run Codeman in this terminal, install it as a background service (systemd/launchd, auto-start on boot), or don't start yet. Nothing runs in the background unless you pick it.
|
||||
- **How it's reachable, your choice.** The installer offers three ways to reach the dashboard: **Tailscale** (loopback bind fronted by `tailscale serve`, so you get `https://<machine>.<tailnet>.ts.net` with a real certificate and your tailnet as the login, no password needed), **any device on your network** (`0.0.0.0`, with a strongly recommended password prompt), or **this machine only** (`127.0.0.1`, safest). Skipping the password on a network bind requires an explicit confirmation and ends with a loud warning. The highlighted default reflects what is already on the machine (Tailscale when it is already in use, your existing binding on a re-run), and a bare Enter never pulls in new software. A bare `codeman web` started by hand still defaults to loopback.
|
||||
- **Re-run to update.** The same one-liner updates a finished install in place: local changes in `~/.codeman/app` are stashed (never discarded), and a running service is restarted and verified. If a first install was interrupted, re-running resumes the full setup instead. `install.sh update` and `install.sh uninstall` also exist.
|
||||
- **CI / headless:** without a terminal attached, steps that would change your system abort with instructions instead of running silently. Set `CODEMAN_NONINTERACTIVE=1` to approve them for automation.
|
||||
- **Three questions, all up front.** How the dashboard is reached, optionally what to call this machine on your tailnet, and whether to run Codeman as a background service (systemd/launchd, auto-start on boot; Enter says yes). Everything that needs you, including one consent for all missing packages, one sudo password, and the Tailscale login, happens before the build, so you can walk away while it compiles.
|
||||
- **How it's reachable, your choice.** **Tailscale** (loopback bind fronted by `tailscale serve`, so you get `https://<machine>.<tailnet>.ts.net` with a real certificate and your tailnet as the login, no password needed), **any device on your network** (`0.0.0.0`, with a strongly recommended password prompt), or **this machine only** (`127.0.0.1`, safest). Skipping the password on a network bind requires an explicit confirmation and ends with a loud warning. The highlighted default reflects what is already on the machine (Tailscale when it is already connected, your existing binding on a re-run), and a bare Enter never pulls in new software. If another app already owns `:443` on your node, Codeman goes under `https://<machine>.<tailnet>.ts.net/codeman` or on a second port instead of replacing it. A bare `codeman web` started by hand still defaults to loopback.
|
||||
- **The name is yours to choose.** By default the URL uses the machine's existing tailnet name. Answering yes to the second question renames the machine to `codeman-<hostname>` (which also renames it for SSH, so the default is no); `install.sh name` does it later.
|
||||
- **Re-run to update.** The same one-liner updates a finished install in place: local changes in `~/.codeman/app` are stashed (never discarded), and a running service is restarted and verified. If a first install was interrupted, re-running resumes the full setup instead. `install.sh status` prints the URLs and the QR code again; `install.sh update`, `install.sh tailscale` and `install.sh uninstall` also exist.
|
||||
- **Flags for the impatient.** `curl -fsSL https://getcodeman.com/install | bash -s -- --tailscale --service` answers the questions from the command line (`--lan`, `--local`, `--run`, `--no-start`, `--name <n>`, `--port <n>`, `--yes` too). **CI / headless:** without a terminal attached, steps that would change your system abort with instructions instead of running silently; set `CODEMAN_NONINTERACTIVE=1` to approve them for automation.

You'll need at least one AI coding CLI installed — [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai), [Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex/cli), [Antigravity](https://antigravity.google), [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli), [Pi](https://pi.dev), [Grok Build](https://github.com/xai-org/grok-build), [DeepSeek Harness](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness), or [OMP](https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi) (any combination works; Gemini CLI is enterprise-only since Google's consumer cutover, and Antigravity is its successor). The installer detects whichever of the nine is present; if none is found, it offers to install any of them from a menu (DeepSeek excepted, since its npm package installs only a launcher with no runnable profile), or you can skip and install one yourself later. After install:
