local to reconnect to server

[kalmarz]

Hey, I'm wondering if there's a way (at least on the roadmap) for local to reconnect to the server if something comes into the way? My local stuff is inside the home network and the server runs on a VPS out in the wild. When I'm not home while the server restarts, I loose connection until I get back and also restart the local.

Maybe you can use systemd to daemonize the client.

My local unit like:
/etc/systemd/system/bore-ssh.service:

[Unit]
Description=bore local ssh
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=bore local 22 --to <hosrtname> --port <remote-port> --secret <secret-string>
Restart=always
RestartSec=60s
User=root

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Hope this helps you :)

that's nice, thank you. however I run local on a Kubernetes cluster.

Anyways, the latest build seemingly doesn't have reconnection issues. I works perfectly on the cluster, picks up the connection when the server comes back alive.
