Troubleshooting

Tailscale is not connected

Open Tailscale, sign in, and rerun setup.

SSH is unreachable

Enable Remote Login on the Mac mini:

System Settings -> General -> Sharing -> Remote Login

ET cannot find etterminal

Rerun client setup. It discovers and stores the remote etterminal path used by Eternal Terminal.

eternalMac setup client --server <mac-mini-tailscale-dns>

ET server is unreachable

Run this on the Mac mini:

sudo brew services list | grep et
sudo brew services start et
nc -G 5 -z localhost 2022

Then rerun server setup if the service was stopped:

eternalMac setup server

Sync is degraded

Run:

eternalMac sync status
eternalMac doctor

If duplicate Mutagen sessions exist, manual cleanup may be required until first-class sync removal lands.
