    This is the exact script I use to install tailscale on my VPN server

    Installing Tailscale

     curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh

    Enable IP forwarding

     echo 'net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf 
 echo 'net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf 
 sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

    Advertise subenets and exit node

     tailscale up --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=192.168.0.0/24,192.168.2.0/28,192.168.5.0/24,192.168.10.0/24

      Thank you for message, i appreciate the effort.

      Where I struggle is the part where i need to expose my subnet within Tailscale. I don’t have any machineip:port delegated to the services anymore.

      I got a domain name through CF, and have traefik generate unique url links as *service.mydomain.com that routes it to the specific service running in docker on my localmachine. It also takes care of certificates. Calling that service url only works within the local network.

      In my docker compose set up, I removed all the ports as I dont access the services via ip:port. I hope this makes sense to you.

      So it seems I need to configure Tailscale in such a way I can tunnel to my home network and then make the service.mydomain.com call. And that is where it got too complicated for me right now.

      I also fail to understand if I need to run Tailscale native or in (the same) docker env.
