Tailscale’d Into Homelabbing
Having my own homelab was something I wanted to try for a long time. However, I just couldn’t get started. Mostly because I kept overthinking it. How will I handle dynamic IPs? Do I need something like a local DNS on my router for that? Even if I solve things inside the home, how am I supposed to access it remotely? Do I need port forwarding at the NAT layer? And what about TLS certificates, how do I even manage those without using a public certificate authority?
Subnet routers
Use subnet routers to give devices outside your local network access to services within specific subnets. Extend your private network with Tailscale.
