Unleash your Containers as Tailscale Services

Add labels to your Docker containers. DockTail handles the rest.

Get Started GitHub
docker-compose.yml
services:
  myapp:
    image: nginx:latest
    # No ports needed!
    labels:
      - "docktail.service.enable=true"
      - "docktail.service.name=myapp"
      - "docktail.service.port=80"

Features

Auto Discovery

Monitors Docker events in real-time. Start a labeled container and it appears on your Tailnet within seconds.

Direct IP Proxy

No port publishing required. Routes directly to container IPs on the Docker network, adapting automatically on restart.

Funnel Support

Expose any container to the public internet via Tailscale Funnel. One label takes you from private to public.
