  • The Umbrel OS for home-lab, self-hosted tech solutions

    For example, the home networking, personal VPN, we may use Tailscale. https://tailscale.com/ which is also listed on the Umbrel App Store.
  • How I made my Home Server accessible outside my home

    Here then comes VPN (Virtual Private Network) which is basically establishes a protected network connection when using public networks. I already have relevant experiences with this one as some of my previous projects involves private repositories that can only be accessed by connecting into the client's VPN. There are many solutions for this specific use case like WireGuard, but in this particular blog, I chose Tailscale.
  • Optimizing My Dev Workflow in 2025
    7 projects | dev.to | 16 Apr 2025
    I had 2 old laptops sitting around, both 10 years old. I turned both into a home server. Installed Ubuntu Server, set up Docker, and now I run all my containers remotely. With Tailscale, I can securely connect to it like it's on the same network. This way, my MacBook doesn't have to run MongoDB, Redis, or RabbitMQ anymore. That alone freed up a lot of memory. I can even run other services like HomeAssistant, MailHog, Immich, etc.
  • Again self-hosting! on k3s
    4 projects | dev.to | 15 Apr 2025
    Then I wanted to add Tailscle which besides being a "best in class VPN" for the homelabbers, allows you to add k8s services directly into your tailnet. What does it mean? The Tailscale operator allows you to access your k8s applications only when you are logged into your private network (tailnet), with the usage of your domain for ended with ts.net. You can configure it in two ways on the resource side, with ingress or with service annotation.

    We actually have that nowadays... the config file support to tailscaled, as Irbe mentioned on the bug Jan 2024: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/1412#issuecomm...

    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Mar 2025
    I dunno if the CIA would trust them but I like Amcrest cameras

    https://amcrest.com/

    because they have a wide range of different price points and capabilities. Use these with software like

    https://zoneminder.com/

    which you could run on a cheap Linux box. For secure access use

    Vertical scaling this language also gets into painful territory quite often, I’ve had to workaround this problem before but never with a thing that felt like this: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/blob/main/syncs/shard...
  • ZeroTier – home VPN without a public IP address

    Hmm, yes, I think you’re right. Tailscale does handle the connection here, not Wireguard.

    I’ve digged into it a bit and I believe it first connects over a relay, then the devices try to find a more optimal route. So for LAN, they would exchange their local IPs and try to connect over those. If they are indeed on the same LAN, they connect directly: https://tailscale.com/kb/1257/connection-types

    This is not without issues, however: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/7206
