How to self-host Tailscale

Tailscale can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Tailscale does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for Tailscale Docker, Tailscale Docker Compose, or self-host Tailscale, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

Use Cases

What people run it for

Securely reach self-hosted services (Home Assistant, Jellyfin, etc.) without port forwarding.
Connect multiple devices across different networks into one secure mesh.
Use your home server as an exit node to encrypt your traffic on public WiFi.
