# Homepage with Tailscale Integration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project sets up a Homepage instance with Tailscale VPN integration using Docker Compose. It creates a secure, private network connection for your homepage dashboard using Tailscale, while running the Homepage application from gethomepage.dev.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
|
|
- A Tailscale account and auth key (get one from https://login.tailscale.com/admin/authkeys)
|
|
- Basic understanding of Docker and networking concepts
|
|
|
|
## Project Structure
|
|
```
|
|
ts-homepage/
|
|
├── docker-compose.yml
|
|
├── tailscale/
|
|
│ ├── tailscale-data/ # Persistent Tailscale state
|
|
│ └── config/ # Tailscale configuration files
|
|
└── homepage/
|
|
└── config/ # Homepage configuration files
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setup Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. **Clone the Repository**
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://gitea.damconsulting.llc/DAM/ts-homepage.git
|
|
cd ts-homepage
|
|
```
|
|
2. Create Required Directories
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p tailscale/tailscale-data tailscale/config homepage/config
|
|
```
|
|
3. Configure Tailscale
|
|
- Replace `{{YOUR_TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY}}` in the docker-compose.yml with your actual Tailscale auth key
|
|
- Optionally, update the file in `tailscale/config/serve.json` if you need specific Tailscale serve configurations
|
|
- CAUTION: Changing `"${TS_CERT_DOMAIN}:443": false` to `true` will expose the service to the internet
|
|
|
|
4. Configure Homepage
|
|
- Add your Homepage configuration files to homepage/config/
|
|
- See https://gethomepage.dev/configs/ for configuration options
|
|
- The default setup allows all hosts (HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS: "*")
|
|
|
|
5. Start the Services
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Services
|
|
|
|
### homepage-ts (Tailscale)
|
|
|
|
- Runs Tailscale VPN client
|
|
- Image: tailscale/tailscale:latest
|
|
- Container name: homepage-ts
|
|
- Hostname: homepage
|
|
- Requires NET_ADMIN and SYS_MODULE capabilities
|
|
- Persists state in ./tailscale/tailscale-data
|
|
- Uses configuration from ./tailscale/config
|
|
|
|
### homepage
|
|
|
|
- Runs Homepage dashboard
|
|
- Image: ghcr.io/gethomepage/homepage:latest
|
|
- Container name: homepage
|
|
- Configuration stored in ./homepage/config
|
|
- Uses Tailscale's network stack (no direct port mapping)
|
|
- Depends on homepage-ts service
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
- After starting the services your service should be available via tailnet at `https://homepage.{{YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAIN}}.ts.net` ie `https://homepage.tail12345.ts.net/`
|
|
- To manually get the Tailscale IP/hostname of your container:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker logs homepage-ts
|
|
```
|
|
Look for the Tailscale IP address in the logs.
|
|
|
|
## Optional Features
|
|
|
|
- Uncomment the Docker socket volume mapping in the Homepage service to enable Docker integrations:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
|
|
```
|
|
- Uncomment and adjust the ports mapping if you need direct access (without Tailscale):
|
|
```yaml
|
|
ports:
|
|
- 3000:3000
|
|
```
|
|
- Stopping the Services
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker compose down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
- Check container logs:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker logs homepage-ts
|
|
docker logs homepage
|
|
```
|
|
- Ensure your Tailscale auth key is valid and not expired
|
|
- Verify the configuration files have proper permissions
|
|
- Make sure required directories exist before starting
|
|
## Notes
|
|
- The Homepage service uses the Tailscale service's network stack via network_mode: service:homepage-ts
|
|
- Direct port mapping is disabled by default as Tailscale handles the networking
|
|
- Services restart automatically unless explicitly stopped
