I spent all day today trying to get the routing to work correctly between Tailscale, Nginx and Adguard.

Basically I wanted to be able to be able to use **http://immich.network ** to route to 192.168.1.2:9000

I wanted to share the steps I took so people don’t have to go through what I did.

First a few things Local Server IP: 192.168.1.2

  1. I installed Ngnix and Adguard, in a Docker Containers, and gave Adguard IPs 3000, 3001 instead of 80 and 443 because Ngnix took it.
  2. I went to my router and made it use the DNS: 192.168.1.2
  3. I configured Proxy Host in Ngnix … immich.network => 192.168.1.2:9000
  4. I configured DNS rewrite in Adguard … *.network => 192.168.1.2

At this point I was able to use http://immich.network finally. I installed Tailscale to be able to access when I’m outside but http://immich.network didn’t work.

These helped me https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets + https://tailscale.com/kb/1054/dns?q=global+nameserver

  1. I created a subnet… tailscale up --advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24
  2. I approved it on Tailscale login

At this point I was able to access home server using its local IP 192.168.1.2 but I couldn’t get http://immich.network to work.

  1. I created a nameserver dns with split DNS but I used my local ip… 192.168.1.2 => network

Finally everything is working… I have a feeling that I’m doing it wrong but I’m too tired and it’s finally working.

    I also host all my stuff on 192.168.1.2. It’s just my gaming pc with a bunch of services for piracy but it’s good enough until I can build a proper server in the future.

    I used chatgpt to create the exact steps, commands and configurations I needed for my setup and achieved this the seemingly cheatful way. I used nginx and certbot. Worked like a charm. Congrats!

      It’s impressive that you was able to get it to help you correctly. It usually just spew things i need to fix that’s why I didn’t ask him, thank you for the tip.

      Btw did you use a custom local domain name or did you use an actual domain ?

        Thanks, it took some prompts but it worked in the end! I used a few subdomains of an actual domain I use for email…

          I just finished the SSL today, but have you gotten Syncthing GUI to work though? I can’t seem to get it to work with the domain for some reason.

            No, sorry I haven’t tried it with Syncthing. Mainly using it for immich, seafile, a matrix server, some arr apps and a status monitor called dashdot. Would be useful for syncthing though, never thought of trying it - I’ll give it a shot over the weekend and let you know how it goes!

      I’ve just looked this up. So is Yunohost supposed to replace Proxmox or can I install it as a service in Proxmox? Will it run in Docker?

      I’d have a go at installing it if my 10 year old wasn’t saving democracy on my PC at the mo (playing Helldivers 2) there’s no way I can prize him off that just to tinker with and ultimately uninstall, another service for a few hours. I got shit to do today.

    This exactly what I’m trying to do, get valid https certificates via a domain name on cloudflare. I have nginx proxy manager running and working to serve a couple of sites like home assistant. The problem I’m having is how do I get valid certificates for my internal services via npm but only be able to access them inside my lan not the internet?

    I’m running immich on a Debian machine at home. Anyone can point me to a detailed tutorial on how to achieve this including SSL and with no payments or subscriptions needed?

    I’ve been wanting to do exactly what you’re doing here on my LAN for a while. I tried to do it on Friday using Zoraxy and managed to get Homarr running on server.local but couldn’t get anything else running with a name (overseerr.server.local and server.local/overseerr just wouldn’t work, although I did get a webpage on server.local/overseerr it wouldn’t resolve properly).

    Anyway as to your second point of getting a nameserver in Tailscale. While I haven’t managed to get a nameserver in Tailscale I have managed to get apps running through Tailscale.

    My app was Audiobookshelf. I wanted to be able to just turn on Tailscale on my phone and sync to Audiobookshelf and managed to do just that.

    I already connected Audiobookshelf at home with it local IP.

    I then spun up a Tailscale container in the docker host that Audiobookshelf was on, signed in to it on the Tailscale dash, then just added the Tailscale network in Docker to the Audiobookshelf docker container.

    Now I can turn on Tailscale when I’m out of the house and open Audiobookshelf app and it connects to my.home server.

    Meaning I don’t need to remember the IP address and portz I set that up once in the Audiobookshelf app and connect to it at will.

    I intend to have a go at attaching it to Syncthing next. I don’t have much use case for Syncthing at present so it’s a perfect app to experiment with. I intent to just attach the Tailscale network to my Syncthing container and just see if it connects. Then I’ll try syncing my Keepass database to my host as an experiment from my phone.

    In my head it should be that simple. If it is I’ll just connect all my docker apps that way and spin up another Tailscale instance on my other VM that does my Arr, and I’ll have outside access to everything.

    Another point to give you for your quest: if you set up Heimdall and a Tailscale exit node, you can put all your self hosted apps in Heimdall for ease of access and then just hit that through your Tailnet. I have a shortcut on my phone home page. You can then just click the service you want in Heimdall and go to that service.

    Edit: turned off the exit node I had running inside Home Assistant and now nothing works. Turns out it wasn’t as easy to connect to the Tailnet as I thought, and I must have been hitting audiobookshelf through my Tailscale exit node after all. But that does mean that my final paragraph still stands, exit node plus a home page (Heimdall, Homarr) gives the same results, but without the nameservers.

      I did all this because I wanted to use the same address for home and tailscale

      Heimdall

      I think that’s what I’m currently doing with Homarr

    Hello again.

    I’ve gone through your steps outlined in this post now for LAN. I’ve made my own network name .crypt and added *.crypt to Adguard and pointed it at the IP address of Nginx.

    I’ve then gone and mapped my local services in Nginx. So radarr.crypt sonarr.crypt plex.crypt etc and mapped them to ports.

    Now what I enjoyed was that I had to map Adguard to forward to Nginx, but in Nginx I can use the IP address of anything on my network, not just on the host.

    So it’s map Adguard in DNS rewrites to Nginx IP, then map the IP:ports in Proxy Hosts in Nginx.

    Now when I use my Tailscale exit node (that I have from Home Assistant) I can use those addresses outside the house.

    I have noticed it only works for the .crypt domains, and not .local despite being set up as well. I guess because .local is a special address it is harder to map to Tailscale.

    Anyway, it’s working for me after following what you’ve done, I just did less in Tailscale because of the exit node
