  • Tailscale Services GA: App-aware connectivity with more control

    Jump

  • I haven't tried funnel but it works using an internal Talscale IP/host and port. E.g. http://the-immich-host:1234/ if the-immich-host is a Tailscale machine.

  • Works outside. I'm setting a standard DNS record on a standard DNS provider to an internal TS IP. The record works everywhere but the IP is only accessible when TS is on. Whether I'm on the local net or outside.

  • Are you running out of RAM? Second hand servers sold in your area may help. :D

    I'm picking up a 128GB server from 2019 for a spare tomorrow.

  • I had something similar when I used to mount an NFS share. I had a bash line that would loop ping and then mount once ping succeeds. Having a separate service that pings and making the mount dependent on it is probably the better thing to do. Should also work when put in Requires= in a .mount file.

  • That's one way to look at it. I used to look at paid VC-funded services like that. I no longer do as I've observed services I paid good money for get more expensive much faster than inflation and decrease in quality and features at the same time. It's one reason I self-host many services I used to pay third parties for. I now look to alternatives from the get go and derisk existing dependencies. To be clear - profitability isn't merely the only problem. The ownership and its profit growth strategy (and expectations) are. Those are not the same in a decades old ISP and a VC-funded startup.

    Merely being profitable today isn't a good predictor for stable prices and function over the long run for VC-funded services. I'm not planning to do major surgery to my setup every few years as yet another service shits the bed. The workstation/server where my self-hosted services run has last been reinstalled in 2014. Most of my config-as-code was written in 2019. I support a few families with this and I aim at maximum stability with minimal maintenance. So I use open source whenever I can and I often pay for development. I only integrated Tailscale in my setup because the clients are open source and because there's an open source server option.

    I'm not saying to people - don't use Tailscale. In fact I often recommend it to new self-hosters. But I do that because there's a way out. So here I'm reminding people who care about a way out to check if this feature is escapable. :D

    • you can create memorable links instead of memorizing port numbers: jellyfin.foo-bar.ts.net

    BTW, I'm doing something similar with standard DNS records that point to an internal Tailscale IP. I can go to https://immich.mydomain.com/ which only works if Tailscale is active. Let's Encrypt works too. Obviously the setup isn't automatic but it's automateable for more adept self-hosters.

  • Can you share what components are you using for SSO, UI, etc.?

  • Ownership, size and profit growth strategy. My ISP is a massively profitable poorly regulated oligopoly. The deal there is clear - they're already charging as much as the market can afford. They aren't providing a free service today that they'll have to monetize down the line to compensate for the time operating on VC funding. Tailscale, awesome as it is today, is in my view guaranteed to enshittify over time as they start getting pressed to grow profit. That's not too much of a problem for me since the clients I use are open source and there's an alternative open source server. If I used features unavailable in Headscale or were in over my head and unable to self-host Headscale, I might be in a bad time some time down the line.

  • On modern systems, fstab entries are read by systemd and .mount files are automatically created for each entry. 😄

  • While this is great, especially for smaller self-hosters, as a setup gets more and more dependent on Tailscale, one should think about self-hosting Headscale, and therefore not being over-reliant on services not offered by it. I'm in that boat and I haven't done the Headscale migration yet.
