# Running a service behind Tailscale and Caddy reverse proxy using Docker compose
This repo is for this blog [post](https://ricklan.net/blog/2024/10/running-a-service-behind-tailscale-and-caddy-reverse-proxy-using-docker-compose/).
## Usage
1. `git clone` this repo
2. Modify the Tailscale OAuth secret in [.env](./.env) according to your Tailscale settings.
3. Modify the "hostname" in [docker-compose.yml](./docker-compose.yml) to your Tailscale settings.
4. Modify the domain name in [Caddyfile](./Caddyfile) to your Tailscale settings.
5. Run `docker compose up -d`.
6. Browse to [https://your-service.your-tailscale-network.ts.net](https://your-service.your-tailscale-network.ts.net). There might be a delay for creation of a domain certificate.
