A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I have a laptop and a desktop-based-server on a 192.168.1.x segment on my network. I want to setup Tailscale between them.

Will it be bad if Tailscale connects while my laptop is local, on 192.168.1.x network?

Can I make it automatically connect via Tailscale when away and via the local network when home?

How can I best test the Tailscale network while I am at home?

It will be fine. If two computers are on the same lan, they will connect directly using your local network. If they are on two different networks, they will reroute through their network.

Thanks!

Will I be able to just launch Tailscale as a part of my normal startup? Can Tailscale start 'invisibly' that is without any interaction from me as I turn on and login?

Yes, it has a start up service in windows and linux. I can tell you the android app doesn't start automatically, you need to access it each time you restart your device. I don't know for iOS.

Same for iOS with the added pain that iOS will kill the background process if you don’t open it back up from time to time.

Edit: spelling
