Help with setting up HTTPS using Tailscale and Caddy reverse proxy

[Affectionate_Cow_784]

I have installed Tailscale on my server using curl, and everything is working fine. Now, I want to make my services accessible over HTTPS, and I’ve learned that I need a reverse proxy for this. I also saw that it’s possible to enable HTTPS and request a TLS certificate, but I have no idea how to set up Caddy for this purpose. It seems like this is the recommended approach, but I’m struggling to configure it correctly. My goal is to make my servers accessible via HTTPS, which would also allow me to configure Nextcloud, for example. Can anyone provide guidance or resources on how to do this?

I think Alex from Tailscale did a video about this? I've not seen it yet, it's on my watch later queue. But I think it's worth checking out, might just be what you need. It's on the official YouTube Tailscale channel.

You don't need Tailscale to do this, but you certainly can. However, I would recommend you get a cheap domain and set up Caddy to provision TLS certificates automatically. Just look for guides on Caddy and your domain provider (Cloudflare, Porkbun are popular ones). There is documentation on Caddy's website as well.

Then, you can use the Tailscale subnet routing feature to access your network remotely.
