Everyone and their mother on Masto has and talks about #Tailscale and I don't know what it is so I go to their website and learn that Tailscale is a "a secure and private, identity-based, infrastructure agnostic network with a flexible topology, resilient networking, and a streamlined setup" and well you don't say !

"resilient networking" 🤭
 

Tailscale을 비롯한 Wireshark 기반의 VPN 도구를 이번에 처음 접하게 되면서 "신세계"를 맛보고 있습니다.

저는 다양한 개발 환경을 테스트하고 학습하는 것을 선호하다보니 계속해서 여러 종류의 노트북이나 PC를 구입해서 사용해왔습니다. 그러다보니 관리 문제도 있고, 어딘가로 여행을 가거나 떠나야 할 일이 생기면 어떤 디바이스를 챙겨 가야 하는지가 상당한 고민이 되곤 했습니다.

그렇지만 인터넷만 붙어있으면 어디서든 동일 네트워크 상에 존재하는 것처럼 일관된 환경을 만들 수 있고, 모든 네트워크 송수신 트래픽이 암호화된 상태를 유지하고 있으며, 속도까지 빠르니 더할 나위 없이 좋습니다.

제 경우는 그래서, Surface Pro 8, Surface Laptop 7, GPU 달린 Intel 랩탑, 라즈베리 파이 4, 맥북, 아이폰, 아이패드, Azure VM, WSL 2 환경까지 매우 많은 디바이스와 가상 머신을 전부 단일 네트워크 환경에 붙여서 자유롭게 사용하고 있습니다.

만약 노트북과 데스크톱, NAS 등의 디바이스를 동시에 붙여서 사용해야 하는 것이 고민이라면 Wireshark나 Tailscale을 꼭 살펴보실 것을 권해드리고 싶습니다. 👍

Progress update for #Dropserver for September (finally!)

I write about Bubblewrap, sandboxing, #Tailscale in the real world, work on the Leftovers app, and the installation experience for ds-host (which will be separate blog post.)

Paying for Ngrok, Zrok, Tailscale or any of them to be able to use your own domain? Do you use Nixos?

Set up my wife with #tailscale on her phone: took 60 seconds.

Adding her tailscale ID as an auth method in the Leftovers app on Dropserver: 10 seconds. (Maybe less? It's literally one dropdown to select who the user is for this peer user on the tailnet. See screenshot)

A productive afternoon.

Shout out to #TsDProxy (Tailscale Docker Proxy). Such a neat tool and works wonderfully.

Please do yourself a favour and go check it out if you #selfhost services in #docker and proxy through #tailscale.

Ii was looking for this exact solution and couldn't really believe it when I found it.

#homelab #selfhosted

My WordPress is talking via my ImageDescription Plugin to my home server. The home servers Traefik is proxy passing the requests via a TailScale tunnel to my Laptop running Ollama. Convoluted ... but it works :D

#Ollama #tailscale #traefik #WordPress #overengineering

Yeah this is why keeping your self-hosted stuff off the public Internet is a really good move. It's why I put #Tailscale in #Dropserver, so that I can access my stuff without risking my instance to the "background radiation of the internet" (great term!)

My journey with #Headscale and #Tailscale is documented on my blog. I discuss the differences between a #VPN server and Tailscale, Headscale, Docker Compose configuration, #Headplane interface, access control through #ACL, integration with #NginxProxyManager, exit nodes, routes, and installation on macOS, iOS, Linux, Debian, Proxmox LXC, #Synology NAS, and #HomeAssistant.

Note that I will not cover OIDC authentication at this time.

I'm working on a new blog post about my deployment of #Headscale and #Tailscale in my #homelab for early 2025. I will discuss the differences between a #VPN server and Tailscale, Headscale, Docker Compose configuration, #Headplane, access control through ACL configuration, integration with Nginx Proxy Manager, and more. Please note that I will not cover OIDC authentication yet.

Simon Willison routed his scraper traffic through Tailscale (on an Apple TV!) to dodge Cloudflare blocks in GitHub Actions.

Welp I finally got it done! #Dropserver's integration with #Tailscale has shipped.

Here is the docs page that shows you how to connect ds-host and your appspaces to your tailnet:

https://dropserver.org/docs/connect-tailnet

Here is the release:

https://github.com/teleclimber/Dropserver/releases/tag/v0.14.0

I think @tailscale is transformative for home-hosting of personal apps. It takes so much of the pain away from the networking side of self-hosting. That's why I wanted to build a solid integration.

Next up I badly need to make it far easier to install and run ds-host.

But first, vacation.... 🛫😎

Good post indicating how Avery Pennarun plans (hopes) to keep #Tailscale free of enshittification.

Also it's quite refreshing to have a CEO of a Bil$$ corp write so candidly about the topic on their personal blog. 👍👍

Dropserver Progress update for May 2025:

https://olivierforget.net/blog/2025/dropserver-progress-may-2025/

I fiddle with Headscale and Ionscale, the open source alternative backplanes to #Tailscale to see if there is anything preventing them from working with Dropserver. A bit of a rough road there.

CI/CD shouldn't mean choosing between “works” and “secure.”

So it looks as though Tailscale treats any domain they don’t know as business domain.

As a result if you sign up with any email address [@]random-new-email-provider.example that they’ve never heard of, they’ll group you into one tailnet with all other users of that provider.

How on earth did they think that was a good idea?!

If you have used and loved #Tailscale, and you still like the product but want a sensible insurance option to reduce your exposure to potential #enshittification, what *hosted* options have you looked at as alternatives?

Part of the appeal of #Tailscale for me at least was that they provided a really thoughtful UX layer over some existing cool OSS tech like #wireguard.

Also, many of us have tried self-hosting and want to minimise what they self host if at all possible.
