docs VS tailscale

I will recommend you review the documentation for the official Postgresql docker images which you can read here.

This is the full documentation for these images. Please note, this page has links to Docker official documents on volumes, etc., which are necessary to run images such as this.

We've just followed the official documentation to add a PostgreSQL database server. This will act as an application container, as our app will soon be depended on it. And in order to make sure that the database container is always started whenever we start our application container, we've added a new depends_on key to the app service and let it know which other service(s) it, well, depends on. This will make sure that the database server is up and running before the app. You may also have noticed that we've mounted volume to our database server's datapath a bit differently. This is known as "named volume". We'll discuss it a bit more in another part, it's not relevant to what we're learning here.

Nextcloud isn't hard to setup, follow the official doc https://github.com/docker-library/docs/blob/master/nextcloud/README.md

Looking at the setup for this (link here: https://github.com/docker-library/docs/blob/master/nextcloud/README.md), I am starting to understand a lot of the recent posts that we've seen & how much of a mess it still is :(

Coming back to nextcloud, the official readme of the nextcloud image has a few notes on how to set up both nextcloud versions.

Use the native command envstubst to replace the Auth Tokens in your Config File before starting NGINX. Example: https://github.com/docker-library/docs/tree/master/nginx#using-environment-variables-in-nginx-configuration-new-in-119

It's not clear why you want to split the web server (nginx) and the app (nextcloud). However, if you do have a good reason, you're in luck, they have a compose file that does just that: https://github.com/docker-library/docs/blob/master/nextcloud/README.md#base-version---fpm (version 2, but it'll work)

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.
