Docktail: Expose Docker Containers as Tailscale Services via Labels
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-13
Docktail is an open-source tool with over 1.1k stars that watches Docker containers and exposes matching containers as Tailscale services by reading docktail. labels.
Its core advantage is network proxy convenience: app containers do not need published Docker ports by default. Docktail proxies directly to their Docker network IPs, simplifying the process of securely exposing container networks and handling NAT traversal.
