docker-compose-healthcheck VS tailscale

With Docker compose, there is a more idiomatic way to achieve this with zero dependencies using healthchecks[0]. Works well!

I used wait_for_it.sh for the purposes exemplified in the OP until I found healtchecks could be used instead.

You can add your own in the compose file I think. https://github.com/peter-evans/docker-compose-healthcheck

Add a health check for the rabbitmq container and a depends_on clause which states that the rabbitmq container needs to be healthy. Here's an example with postgres: https://github.com/peter-evans/docker-compose-healthcheck

Tailscale - Built on WireGuard. Easy to use. Control server is closed source. Client code available with a BSD3 license + separate patents file.

Tailscale

I'm using the GitHub version of tailscaled on one of my Macs as a background daemon launched at boot. To upgrade to the latest version, try the following:

Tailscale is a VPN service that makes the devices and applications you own accessible anywhere in the world, securely and effortlessly. It enables encrypted point-to-point connections using the open source WireGuard® protocol, which means only devices on your private network can communicate with each other.

Might be possible to do using a VPN as long as you can get broadcast/multicast packets forwarded.

Tailscale unfortunately doesn't support it...yet?

Tailscale - Make depaware output patch compatible

Tailscale is another way of doing it. I'm using it to access my Pi's Samba shares from my phone but it works from Windows as well.
