ScaleTail provides ready-to-run Docker Compose stacks that instantly connect your self-hosted applications to your Tailnet. By using a Docker sidecar configuration, your applications get an URL with automatic HTTPS, for example: https://application.tail-net.ts.net.

Requirement: Docker Compose and Git must be installed. Preferably on a Linux Operating system.

Clone the repository and change directory to your desired service with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/tailscale-dev/ScaleTail.git
cd ScaleTail/services/YourDesiredService
Configure and Launch
Open the .env file in your chosen service directory.
