Bundling CLI Sidecars in Tauri v2: A Practical Guide

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

This article details how to bundle and manage external CLI binaries, like frpc, as sidecars in Tauri v2 desktop apps. It covers declaring the binary in tauri.conf.json, platform-specific naming conventions, and spawning processes using tauri_plugin_shell. The post also touches on lifecycle management and self-updating the binary at runtime from Rust.
