I am trying to set up homeassistant using tailscale and tsdproxy. I have fiddled through all possibilities I could think of, but I cannot make HA available as a ts machine, that is reachable on their ts name.
I use docker compose to setup my containers. Tailscale is installed on both my rpi and my laptop, In the admin console of tailscale, I can see them both as machines. tsdproxy is running on my rpi and is reachable under rpi.funny-name.ts. net:8080 as per default configuration.
Now I want to set up HA. I insert into the default HA compose file:
labels:
tsdproxy.enable: “true”
tsdproxy.name: “homeassistant”`
This is already enough to make HA appear as a tailscale machine.
Although I cannot reach HA under homeassistant.funny-name.ts. net. I tried both with and without https and :8123
I can reach it under rpi.funny-name.ts. net:8123 though as I have network_mode: "host" in the default config. If I take that out, I can’t reach HA at all. I already tried
- using
tsdproxy.container_port: "8123"as a label, - deliberately exposing
ports: - 8123:8123, - putting both tsdproxy and homeassistant on the same docker network
in literally every combination possible. I am pretty sure I am somewhere messing up the networking so that tsd, tailscale and HA are just not able to communicate with each other, but I do not understand enough of this part of docker & tailscale.
What do I need to change in my HA compose file, to make this work?
Every bit of help is much apprechiated!
Thanks!
