tailscale friendly app dashboard
-
Folks,
When I’m at home, I’ve got Heimdall setup to let me into my applications easily.
When I’m away, I use tailscale to get into my home network. But I end up having to put in the URLs of the applications manually.
What options do I have? Do I setup another Heimdall instance with all the URLs as tailscale friendly?
Is there another dashboard solution out there that maybe takes the base URL of the dashboard and uses that to build the URLs of the applications?
So if I go to home.local then all the apps point to home.local:port and if I get to the dashboard using home.ts.net, then all the apps become home.ts.net:ports
Any suggestions or recommendations of dashboards that do this?

I know I wrote tailscale friendly, but the same applies to zerotier, Cloudflared, and dyndns, I guess...

If you have a domain, you could setup split brain dns.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I use a reverse proxy (caddy), and point a domain at my machine.ts-domain.ts.net which hosts caddy
this way I can go to service.my.domain instead of machine:port as long as I’m connected to tailscale. any devices not on my tailscale network just get bounced if they hit the domain

You have a CNAME record that points service.my.domain to machine-that-hosts-caddy.ts-domain.ts.net, and with tailscale enable it hits the caddy server and then reverse proxies it to the machine:port of "service"? Which may or may not be the tailscale IP address and port?

Just setup a second page in heimdall with Tailscale friendly links. Duplicate what you already have setup and then update links.

Basically yeah.
CNAME points my.domain to *.machine-that-hosts-caddy.my-ts-domain.ts.net
caddy running on that machine directs subdomains to machine:port pairs, where “machine” is either the tailscale name or IP for the machine hosting the service
