You make one little change to the DNS on your Tailnet and suddently all hell breaks loose... #Tailscale #SysAdmin #Oops

@Natanox It's a bit of work, but I'd suggest something like #NetBird or #tailscale to keep your private things private.

The only real downside I see so far is that on mobile devices (iOS in my case) it increases battery consumption to a noticeable degree.

@marcoarment @siracusa @caseyliss I'd chime in with the others who recommended #Ansible for Marco's fascinating project (which has inspired one I've started on now!). I love it since it can help do automated updates and deployment on both Mac and Linux systems _with the same deployment script_, including triggering apt or rpm on Linux and brew on MacOS (and even WinGet on Windows!). I use it over #Netbird, which runs well in a Docker container and drops #Tailscale's cost and centralized control. And one more possibly useful tidbit: not terribly relevant to Marco's project, but to his early prototype-form, I've been really happy with #ColoCrossing and they offer single RU colocation, not just whole cabinets.

How hard could it be to setup #tailscale + #pihole as #quadlets?

📝 Migrating infrastructure off Coolify #Development #Webdev #Docker #Coolify #Tailscale

I've spent a while recently migrating my personal infrastructure off Coolify. Coolify's an excellent tool and one that helped manage the initial learning curve of managing and deploying things when I started to self host things. As I got more comfortable with the process, issues and details I found myself wanting to remove it as an...

I've been putting off some necessary maintenance and overall system streamlining on my home server for a while. Everything works, and services are secure and up to date, but I've got a bit of a messy setup that mixes #podman with #docker containers, #tailscale with #tsdproxy. I set this all up before I had my own domain, hence tsdproxy.

Now I have my own domain, I want to refactor my server using #netbird with #caddy and #pocketid.

It's a little daunting, but I'm going to take the plunge

@caseyliss @dustinbucher relevant recommendation to you both. Use Apple, but add a passkey user as a backup admin.

It does occupy one user in your Tailnet, that’s 1 of 3 in the free tier.

#Tailscale

Admin account with passkey login · Tailscale Docs

Proactively set up an admin user that can log in to your tailnet with a passkey, to mitigate against a future SSO lockout.

Was banging my head against using #tailscale in #pfsense to route traffic to remote LAN (also with tailscale)...figured out that the ip address of the TailscaleVIP was somehow wrong and that messed everything up. 🤦

@caseyliss Currently I’m looking into having my life taking over by #Tailscale, any advice on how you set up your account with it? Did you go for OIDC or just one of the default providers (Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.)? I was using Cloudflare Tunnels but it looks like Tailscale is a lot more scalable for my homelab needs

Here’s my super secure Apple road warrior configuration:

📡 iPhone 17 Pro personal hotspot
⛓️ iPad Air connected to the hotspot (no public WiFi)
🔐 Tailscale connection to my home LAN using ssh on the blink app on the iPad

Very lightweight network usage. Battery life is spectacular.

I have access to all of my Apple info plus my Google Apps.

Plus, a secure and direct connection to my PAI AI agent via ssh, running safely in my home lab
