“I have been adding a Tailscale container and a Caddy container to some of my Docker Compose stacks to have them show up as their own nodes in my Tailnet and to remove the need for opening a bunch of ports on my host machine. It's a workaround but it's been working well.”
“Honestly tailscale is highly underrated for the absolutley monster of value it provides to my networking needs. I will continue to be a happy paying customer as long as you guys keep fighting the good fight, aka build tools for people in an age where we are constantly under attack.”
