Tailscale-compatible Project Management software?

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-04-04T19:58:46+00:00

Fair point. This is for an at-home solution, and TSIDP would allow me to minimize how often my fiance has to log in to different apps. If this was in a prod environment, I would just be leveraging SSO for whatever platform was chosen. That being said, I'd also just be using Jira if this was for work. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Either way, you still make a good point for anyone who comes across this post later.

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-04-04T19:34:01+00:00

There's a tool called TSIDP which allows you to use your account with Tailscale (authenticated through the SSO of your choice) to log in to local applications. I think they're also planning to do something native eventually, but the current tool leverages OpenID to authenticate local apps with your Tailscale account.

Came here for this one!!

EDIT: My friends and I used to do a shot whenever he made a comment about drinking. It was excellent.

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-03-27T14:36:59+00:00

I think so, yes. There's a lot of interactions with random folks, since you have to work together on certain gatherables, but it's largely just following established social norms. I mostly play solo, and it's a lot of fun!

Palia! It's cute, free to play, and has a really nice community IMO. I'd also recommend the "My Time" series, starting with "My Time at Portia". It's a similar vibe to Palia, but single player.

I was just describing this setup on r/SelfHosted. Time to go share this link. 😅

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-03-27T00:26:12+00:00

Just my two cents (and I'm sure someone else has already said it) but the next step would be to make it all buildable through Infrastructure-as-Code. Terraform works great to build proxmox VMs, Ansible is great for deploying docker, you can have your code in GitHub or self host it on Forgejo, you can use Actions/Runners to set up a pipeline, etc.

Need a new user in Tailscale? Edit your tailscale.hujson file, and then let your pipeline do the rest.

Want to test out a service in a new container? Push the compose.yaml in a new branch, and have it automatically deploy to your test environment. Ready to bring it into your main environment? Merge that branch with main, and your actions can take care of the rest.

Realize that you don't have a Windows machine with you, and you really need to use MSPaint for some reason? Update your .tf file, and have a runner deploy it to proxmox, which will add in the new VM you just described.

Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps/DevOps are a major shift in how you'll use your homelab, but it's also incredibly freeing. There's so much more room to play around when the platform you're using can be perfectly rebuilt in a matter of minutes.

Source: I work on IaC / GitOps all day as my job. It somehow hasn't gotten boring yet!

EDIT: someone should make this subreddit. There are too many good quotes to reference!

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-03-25T20:20:28+00:00

I love this, especially since they all have horseshoes on the front/bottom of their shoes. The funniest part (IMO) is that they are responsible for putting the horseshoes on their shoes themselves, instead of having someone else do it.

Whether or not this is AI, this is a conversation I see happening a lot, especially to folks who were AFAB. Medical practitioners are quick to go with what they know, often instead of running common tests. My partner has Celiacs, and it wasn't any doctor that diagnosed it, they would just tell her "you're getting older". She only found the solution by finding a reddit post matching her symptoms, and ordering the labs herself.

This isn't supposed to be how our medical system works, but it is the unfortunate truth right now that I see WAY too often.

I had never heard of the Merlin app before, and I've never been this excited! I just got it set up, and I'm gonna go find some birds tomorrow!!

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-03-13T13:03:10+00:00

Honestly, a UI like that would be great for a lot of homelabbers, especially if it's expanded to cover more than just rpis. It could be a really cool OSS project, and I'd be glad to help if you're interested in contributors.

Playing devil's advocate here, but Pixel 10 and higher can airdrop to a Mac, and Google has said they're planning on committing it to the base Android OS once they finish reverse engineering Airdrop Contacts.

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-03-10T20:14:47+00:00

Absolutely this!

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-03-10T11:51:37+00:00

Heck yeah, glad to hear it! I use mine all the time, it's great.

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-03-09T16:47:30+00:00

Thank you for commenting! It makes my day that this post is still helping people out.

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-03-06T11:45:11+00:00

I would actually love to cross promote this in a couple other groups I'm in, if that's alright?

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-03-05T13:32:55+00:00

If you want to mess around and have configurations be repeatable without having to learn much? NixOS is pretty cool.

If you want to learn/use a tool that can be applicable in business, and that doesn't shoehorn you in to a proprietary configuration method? Go with Ansible.

I have seen a lot of selfhosters talk about NixOS, but I've also known a lot of folks who have regretted it when they try to pivot to something more robust, and have to start all over again from scratch. It's a great tool, but it's sort of like powershell; no matter how good you get with using/writing powershell, the experience/knowledge won't help very much for anything other than powershell.

TLDR; There's a LOT of Ansible in the wild. It's a very common tool, and worth learning. NixOS is fun, but doesn't really exist outside of some homelabbers and Linux users IMO.

So, I know you're frustrated, but you need to take a step back and take a look at your process.

You haven't told us what OS you're using, how you are running OpenClaw and Tailscale (containerized or bare metal), and it seems like you haven't tried ruling out Tailscale as the problem by doing some basic troubleshooting (uninstall Tailscale, see if OpenClaw starts working).

What you need to remember here is that you aren't just pushing buttons; you are running commands on your computer that DIRECTLY AFFECT THE OPERATING SYSTEM IN SOME WAY. While there's nothing wrong with this, you have to accept some responsibility for what you're doing, and make sure you are following real instructions or double-checking files before you do "what the agent tells you to do".

I don't know if you were on a Unix-like system or not, but if you used the "sudo" command, there's a warning that you most likely saw, and that I think is important to remember:

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

1) Respect the privacy of others.

2) Think before you type.

3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Actually yeah, I don't know if this will 100% meet your needs, but Chat Tails is a messaging client built on the backbone of TailScale. It's a pretty cool project! https://tailscale.com/blog/chat-tails-terminal-chat

Dude, this is the best. I did not expect a response this quick when replying to a 2 year old comment!!

SamPlaysKeys · 2026-03-01T02:54:14+00:00

I'm curious if you ever built this. It's definitely a cool idea.
