<p>I also run tahoe at a computer I am not sitting at. There is a storage server on my home network responsible for running tahoe, and it listens on an address in my private IP range. I call up the web UI from my desktop.</p>
<p>When I'm away from home and want to check my node status, an ssh tunnel with port forwarding does the job.</p>
<p>A CLI status checking command would be cool. However, a better solution would be to make tahoe so reliable and self-correcting that users don't ever need to check the status. (I.e. 5-second wizard-based configuration, automatic firewall/NAT penetration, retry everything until it succeeds or the world comes to an end, check and repair data automatically, etc...). </p>
