Accessing my docker webUI with domain names via tailscale - eviltoast

I hope I can explain this properly but I have a domain name that I would like to use to access my dockers hosted on my unraid server but I do not want to open it out to the internet.

Currently I’d be connecting to tailscale and logging in via http://:

But the port numbers are kinda hard to remember and I have a domain name so I was wondering if it’s possible to connect via: https://radar.mydomainname.com but only locally via tailscale?

    Here’s how I do it, it’s the simplest way I’ve found.

    Make a directory for your certificates like /etc/nginx/certs Use “tailscale certs YourDomainName.ts.net” Put the certificate in the certificate directory. The nginx config:

    server { listen 80; server_name YourDomainName.ts.net;

    location / { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } }

    server { listen 443 ssl http2; server_name YourDomainName.ts.net;

    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/YourDomainName.ts.net.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/YourDomainName.ts.netkey;

    location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; //Change it for the port you want to forward proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_buffering off; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection “Upgrade”; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; } }
