I spent all day today trying to get the routing to work correctly between Tailscale, Nginx and Adguard.
Basically I wanted to be able to be able to use
**http://immich.network/ ** to route to 192.168.1.2:9000
I wanted to share the steps I took so people don't have to go through what I did.
First a few things
Local Server IP: 192.168.1.2
- I installed Ngnix and Adguard, in a Docker Containers, and gave Adguard IPs 3000, 3001 instead of 80 and 443 because Ngnix took it.
- I went to my router and made it use the DNS: 192.168.1.2
- I configured Proxy Host in Ngnix ..... immich.network => 192.168.1.2:9000
- I configured DNS rewrite in Adguard .... *.network => 192.168.1.2
At this point I was able to use http://immich.network/ finally. I installed Tailscale to be able to access when I'm outside but http://immich.network/ didn't work.
These helped me https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets + https://tailscale.com/kb/1054/dns?q=global+nameserver
- I created a subnet.....
tailscale up --advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24
- I approved it on Tailscale login
At this point I was able to access home server using its local IP 192.168.1.2 but I couldn't get http://immich.network/ to work.
- I created a nameserver dns with split DNS but I used my local ip..
192.168.1.2 => network
Finally everything is working.. I have a feeling that I'm doing it wrong but I'm too tired and it's finally working.
What is the difference between this and simply connecting to the same network? Even if it is offline you can connect through ethetnet or wifi without needing internet
