My only real missing feature with my tailnet right now is the ability to somehow bridge mDNS / Bonjour.

I know those the multicast layer2 services and I can’t really run any magic reapeater on my WiFi hotspot either but it’s LITERALLY the last missing piece to have a unified virtual network of my things that works just as if I had them all home on my WiFi.

(Mainly needing it because Apple dev tools / Xcode etc. all rely on it and won’t let me simply say “connect to the device with this IP” - no idea where that feature went.. it used to be a thing).

After a few nights and weekends of mashing keys, I have figured the right order to bring up a #nixos instance built for #proxmox, provision it with #colmena, shove secrets on it with #sops, bring up a docker container, and get it on my @tailscale #tailnet. I don’t know how many times I nearly gave up, but it paid off, and I’m thrilled.

Now to do it again.

nice to see @tailscale on #Mastodon, I’ve a huge amount of respect for them as a Service, business and collective of people..
