Docker secrets

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:
  tsdproxy:
    image: almeidapaulopt/tsdproxy:2
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - datadir:/data
      - <PATH TO CONFIG>:/config
    secrets:
      - authkey

volumes:
  datadir:

secrets:
  authkey:
    external: true

TSDProxy configuration

tailscale:
  providers:
    default:
      authKeyFile: "/run/secrets/authkey"

Restart TSDProxy

docker compose restart
