Point the viewer example at the ports the daemons actually bind Every source URL in the shipped example was unreachable: sando at 8080 and bento at 8090 when their own deploy examples bind 7766 and 8765, and pom at a host "pom" that does not resolve on a port it has never listened on. Anyone installing the example got three dead sources on a surface whose entire job is noticing when something has stopped answering. Each URL now cites the daemon example it mirrors, and says whether the bind is loopback or tailnet, since that decides whether a viewer on another host can see that source at all.
