## When to use this skill
**ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:**
- Serving frontend via localhost in a Tauri app
- Local server exposure and port configuration
- Dev vs production localhost behavior differences
**Trigger phrases include:**
- "localhost", "local server", "localhost plugin", "port", "serve frontend"
## How to use this skill
1. **Install the localhost plugin**:
```bash
cargo add tauri-plugin-localhost
```
2. **Register the plugin** with a specific port in your Tauri builder:
```rust
tauri::Builder::default()
.plugin(tauri_plugin_localhost::Builder::new(3030).build())
```
3. **Configure the frontend URL** in `tauri.conf.json` for production:
```json
{ "build": { "frontendDist": "../dist" } }
```
4. **Bind only to 127.0.0.1** to prevent external access to the local server
5. **Separate dev-mode access** (Vite dev server on port 5173) from production (localhost plugin on a fixed port)
6. **Audit access patterns** to ensure minimal exposure in production builds
## Outputs
- Localhost plugin configuration with fixed port
- Dev vs production server separation
- Security checklist for minimal exposure
