telnet

  -t, --telnet               serve a telnet version

Launches a telnet server alongside the HTTP server.

When TLS (KEY / CERT) is configured in slidesk.toml, the telnet server also serves over TLS for encrypted connections. A plain telnet client cannot connect then; use a TLS client instead, as printed at startup:

openssl s_client -quiet -connect localhost:2323

The telnet version follows your edits: a change to the talk shows up after pressing r.

slidesk -t my-talk
telnet localhost 2323

Port configurable in slidesk.toml:

[slidesk]
TELNET_PORT=2323

Telnet controls: - Enter, Space or right arrow — next slide - Left arrow or Backspace — previous slide - Number + Enter — go to that slide (the number shows in the status bar as you type it) - r — reload presentation - q or Ctrl-C — quit
