This overview helps you decide which guide to read first. Redock setup usually has four steps: connect to a Host, make the connection reliable, move authentication to a safer long-term setup, then organize Projects, Actions, and Snippets around your daily workflow.
First-Time Setup
- If you have a Mac and your iPhone or iPad is on the same Wi-Fi, start with Quick Start. This is the shortest path for trying the core Redock workflow.
- If your remote machine is Windows, start with Windows Remote Login. It explains how to enable OpenSSH Server and allow Redock to connect.
Access From Outside Your Network
- If you want a secure, stable way to reach a Mac, Windows PC, or server at home or in the office, read Tailscale Setup. It is the best fit for long-term use and cross-network recovery.
- If you only need temporary SSH access, or cannot install a VPN-style tool in the current environment, read ngrok SSH Forwarding. It is useful for short tests and temporary access.
Reliability and Mobile Networks
- If you want work to survive disconnects, app backgrounding, or coming back later, read tmux Setup.
- If you already use tmux, or want work to survive app backgrounding and brief network drops, pair it with Redock Best Practices.
- If you often switch between cellular, Wi-Fi, and hotspots, or want a better terminal experience on unstable networks, read Mosh Setup.
Authentication and Security
- If password login already works but you want a safer long-term setup, read SSH Keys.
- If you need to write a private key into Redock's
authkeyfile, this guide also explains where to check and how to write it.
Development Workflow
- If you want to understand how Projects, Actions, and Snippets fit together, read Redock Best Practices. It focuses on using Redock across the development cycle: build, test, verify, and release.
- If you want to combine Claude Code, Codex, tmux, and common commands on mobile, this is the guide to read.
Voice Input
- If you use OpenAI speech-to-text, read OpenAI Speech Setup.
- If you use Volcengine speech services, read Volcengine Speech Setup.
