tailscale

Some discussion on bsky of the usefulness of Tailscale, and I’ll just note here how very handy it is for running a personal homelab that includes cloud instances. As well as just having lab connectivity from a laptop or phone on the go!

Services I run over Tailscale, just for myself, include:

• An RSS feed reader
• A personal git forge
• An IRC bouncer
• A (poorly maintained) wiki
• JupyterLab
• Open WebUI for playing with local LLMs on a GPU workstation
• SSH to a powerful workstation, hosted at home but without complex configs

And probably a few things I’ve forgotten! It’s really just very neat. Sure I could do it all with manual Wireguard configs. But Tailscale just makes the underlying primitive much more ergonomic.
