Show HN: Perry – self-hosted dev environments over Tailscale

Hey folks! Perry is a project I was working on for a couple of weeks that I wanted to share. It's an alternative for me for dealing with worktrees on local environments, esp. when I use coding agents. This framework helps me manage containers on my host called workspaces.

On creation each one is pre-registered with Tailscale, and accessible directly via it's project name on your tailnet. For instance if I want to start working on feature-a, I'd run `perry start feature-a` from any of my machines, and after a while it would be available over http://feature-a.

This is great for continuing my coding agent sessions on the go for both Claude Code/Opencode: https://gricha.github.io/perry/docs/workflows/opencode You can easily access them from Termius over Tailscale, or, in case of Opencode, just open a web ui via http://feature-a:4096

My main goal was to be able to work on separate features/projects and have runtime isolation.

It's an early version but I do rely on it for my side projects. I wouldn't say the security is there (at all) to use it for anything other than that, at least at the moment. Let me know what you think!

Sadly the project has been found by crypto scammers, and token(s) have been created that try to associate themselves with the project. This project and I myself am not affiliated with any crypto tokens. I don't endorse or condone its use.
