Docker secrets

If you want to use Docker secrets to store your Tailscale authkey, you can use the following example:

Requirements

Make sure you have Docker Swarm enabled on your server.

https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/secrets/

“Docker secrets are only available to swarm services, not to standalone containers. To use this feature, consider adapting your container to run as a service.”

Add a docker secret

We need to create a docker secret, which we can name authkey and store the Tailscale authkey in it. We can do that using the following command:

printf "Your Tailscale AuthKey" | docker secret create authkey -

TsDProxy Docker compose 

services:
  tailscale-docker-proxy:
    image: almeidapaulopt/tsdproxy:latest
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - datadir:/data
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      # Get AuthKey from your Tailscale account
      - TSDPROXY_AUTHKEYFILE=/run/secrets/authkey 
      # Address of docker server (access to example.com ports)
      - TSDPROXY_HOSTNAME=192.168.1.1 
      - DOCKER_HOST=unix:///var/run/docker.sock 
    secrets:
      - authkey

volumes:
  datadir:

secrets:
  authkey:
    external: true

Restart tsdproxy 

docker compose restart
