DeckWerk dev confirms headless collab server ships unauthenticated by design

vincesitzmann · x · 2026-10-28

Responding to a security warning, DeckWerk author vincesitzmann confirmed the headless collab server is designed for trusted networks/tailnets and will clarify this in the README. sunsetsyntax had flagged that the server binds 0.0.0.0:5800 with unauthenticated edits by default — anyone on the same WiFi can open, rename, import or download every deck; use --host 127.0.0.1 or a Tailscale IP.
