Notes: The whole purpose of this setup is that I can vibe code with my 2 Mac Minis on the cloud without using my main macbook. The biggest pain point I had was that I had to sit around and wait for my claude code to complete, but now instead I can vibe code without having to make any changes on my macbook. Also the great thing about Tailscale is that only you will be able to access these IPs because you built yourself your own local network.
My current tech specs:
2 Mac Mini at M4 Pro Processor with 24gb RAM
Here are the essentials for a remote dev/vibe coding setup:
brew install tmux # Keep sessions running after disconnect
brew install htop # Process viewer (you got this)
brew install btop # Prettier alternative to htop
brew install tree # Visualize directory structure
brew install fzf # Fuzzy finder, game changer for searching
brew install ripgrep # Fast code search (rg command)
brew install eza # Modern ls replacement
