Native Tailscale Certificate Support in Unraid 7
Unraid 7 comes equipped with native Tailscale (ts.net) certificate support, enhancing security while simplifying remote access and the management of your Unraid server.
Tailscale within Docker Containers
Adding Tailscale to individual Docker containers on Unraid enables secure, flexible networking by providing unique machine names for each container, allowing container-specific sharing, reverse proxying with valid certificates, VPN routing through Exit Nodes, and secure communication across devices on the Tailnet or regular LAN.
We have ambitious plans to deepen this integration even further in 2025 and beyond. Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and enhance your Unraid experience, leveraging the power of Tailscale to bring you simple, secure, and flexible networking options.
