This Docker Compose configuration sets up IT-Tools with Tailscale as a sidecar container to securely access your all-in-one developer utility over a private Tailscale network. By using Tailscale in a sidecar configuration, you can enhance the security and privacy of your IT-Tools instance, ensuring that it is only accessible within your Tailscale network.
IT-Tools is an open-source collection of online utilities designed for developers and IT professionals. It includes a variety of tools such as encoders, converters, formatters, and more—all in one sleek, web-based application. This configuration leverages Tailscale to securely connect to your IT-Tools instance, ensuring that your suite of developer utilities is protected from unauthorized access and accessible only via your private Tailscale network.
In this setup, the tailscale-it-tools service runs Tailscale, which manages secure networking for the IT-Tools service. The it-tools service uses the Tailscale network stack via Docker's network_mode: service: configuration. This setup ensures that IT-Tools’ web interface is only accessible through the Tailscale network (or locally, if preferred), providing an extra layer of security and privacy for your self-hosted developer utilities.
