This project sets up a Vikunja instance with Tailscale VPN integration using Docker Compose. It creates a secure, private network connection for your Vikunja instance using Tailscale.
|
||||
This project sets up a Vikunja instance with Tailscale VPN integration using Docker Compose.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
## Quick Start (Tailscale)
|
||||
|
||||
- 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-vikunja/
|
||||
├── docker-compose.yml
|
||||
├── tailscale/
|
||||
│ ├── tailscale-data/ # Persistent Tailscale state
|
||||
│ └── config/ # Tailscale configuration files
|
||||
└── vikunja/
|
||||
└── config/ # Vikunja configuration files
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Clone the Repository**
|
||||
1. Copy the example environment file and fill in your values:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://gitea.example.com/org/ts-vikunja
|
||||
cd ts-vikunja
|
||||
cp .env.example .env
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. Create Required Directories
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p tailscale/tailscale-data
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Configure Tailscale
|
||||
- Make sure `TS_AUTHKEY` and `TS_LOGIN_SERVER` are set in your environment (or a local .env file) before running docker compose.
|
||||
- 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 Vikunja
|
||||
- See the [documentation]({{service_docs}}) for configuration options
|
||||
|
||||
5. Start the Services
|
||||
2. Edit `.env` and set:
|
||||
- `TS_AUTHKEY` — your Tailscale auth key
|
||||
- `TS_LOGIN_SERVER` — leave as `https://controlplane.tailscale.com` (default)
|
||||
3. Start the stack:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Access Vikunja at `http://vikunja.<your-tailnet>.ts.net`
|
||||
|
||||
6. Wait for Certificate to propagate [~2m]
|
||||
## Headscale
|
||||
|
||||
7. Login
|
||||
- After starting the services your service should be available via tailnet at https://vikunja.{{YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAIN}}.ts.net ie https://vikunja.tail12345.ts.net/
|
||||
If you're using Headscale instead of Tailscale:
|
||||
|
||||
## Services
|
||||
|
||||
### vikunja-ts (Tailscale)
|
||||
|
||||
- Runs Tailscale VPN client
|
||||
- Image: tailscale/tailscale:latest
|
||||
- Container name: vikunja-ts
|
||||
- Hostname: vikunja
|
||||
- Requires NET_ADMIN and SYS_MODULE capabilities
|
||||
- Persists state in ./tailscale/tailscale-data
|
||||
- Uses configuration from ./tailscale/config
|
||||
|
||||
### vikunja
|
||||
|
||||
- Depends on vikunja-ts service
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
- After starting the services your service should be available via tailnet at `https://vikunja.{{YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAIN}}.ts.net` ie `https://vikunja.tail12345.ts.net/`
|
||||
- To manually get the Tailscale IP/hostname of your container:
|
||||
1. Copy the example environment file:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker logs vikunja-ts
|
||||
cp .env.example .env
|
||||
```
|
||||
Look for the Tailscale IP address in the logs.
|
||||
2. Edit `.env` and set:
|
||||
- `TS_AUTHKEY` — your Headscale auth key
|
||||
- `TS_LOGIN_SERVER` — your Headscale server URL
|
||||
3. Switch to the Headscale serve config:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp tailscale/config/serve.headscale.json tailscale/config/serve.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Edit `serve.json` and replace `vikunja.example.com` with your actual domain
|
||||
5. Start the stack:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
6. Access Vikunja at `http://vikunja.yourdomain.com`
|
||||
|
||||
## Optional Features
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
- Uncomment and adjust the ports mapping if you need direct access (without Tailscale):
|
||||
See `.env.example` for all available options.
|
||||
|
||||
### Switching Serve Configs
|
||||
|
||||
| Environment | File to use | Notes |
|
||||
|-------------------|--------------------------------------|-------|
|
||||
| Tailscale (default) | `tailscale/config/serve.json` | Supports HTTP + HTTPS with certs |
|
||||
| Headscale | `tailscale/config/serve.headscale.json` | HTTP only |
|
||||
|
||||
After changing the serve config, restart the sidecar:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker compose restart vikunja-ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Optional: Direct Host Access
|
||||
|
||||
Uncomment the ports section in `docker-compose.yml` if you need direct access without Tailscale:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- 3456:3456
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Stopping the Services
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker compose down
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
- Check container logs:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker logs vikunja-ts
|
||||
docker logs vikunja
|
||||
```
|
||||
- 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 Vikunja service uses the Tailscale service's network stack via `network_mode: service:vikunja-ts`
|
||||
- Direct port mapping is disabled by default as Tailscale handles the networking
|
||||
- Services restart automatically unless explicitly stopped
|
||||

## Tailscale Serve Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
This repo includes two serve configuration files:
|
||||
|
||||
- `tailscale/config/serve.json` — Default (recommended for Tailscale with MagicDNS + certs)
|
||||
- `tailscale/config/serve.headscale.json` — For Headscale or Tailscale without certs (HTTP only)
|
||||
|
||||
### How to use
|
||||
|
||||
**Tailscale (default):**
|
||||
- No changes needed. The default `serve.json` will be used.
|
||||
|
||||
**Headscale:**
|
||||
1. Copy `serve.headscale.json` over `serve.json`:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp tailscale/config/serve.headscale.json tailscale/config/serve.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. Update the hostname in `serve.json` to match your service.
|
||||
|
||||
After changing the serve config, restart the sidecar:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker compose restart <service>-ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in your values:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp .env.example .env
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tailscale Serve Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
This repo ships with two serve configuration options:
|
||||
|
||||
| File | Use Case | Description |
|
||||
|------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `tailscale/config/serve.json` | Tailscale (default) | Supports both HTTP and HTTPS when MagicDNS + certs are configured |
|
||||
| `tailscale/config/serve.headscale.json` | Headscale / no certs | HTTP-only on port 3456 |
|
||||
|
||||
**To switch to Headscale mode:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp tailscale/config/serve.headscale.json tailscale/config/serve.json
|
||||
docker compose restart vikunja-ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Update the hostname in `serve.headscale.json` to match your service.
