docktail
Best fit
Users running Docker containers on Linux hosts connected to Tailscale who want to expose services without consuming separate Tailscale device slots per container.; Users who want low manual setup and automatic reconciliation of Docker container state changes for Tailscale service exposure.
Trade-offs
Host setup only works on Linux because macOS and Windows do not expose a Unix socket for Tailscale and Docker Desktop runs containers in a VM that cannot mount host Unix sockets.; Rootless Docker requires additional configuration because the DockTail container runs as a non-root user and needs operator permissions to manage Tailscale serve-config writes.
Integrations / export
Integrates with Docker by monitoring Docker events and reading docktail.* labels to expose containers as Tailscale services., Supports HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, and TLS-terminated TCP services through Tailscale.
