Hi,
I am setting up a new Unraid server and need remote admin access. I understand it's not recommended to just forward port 443 and expose the admin UI to the outside world, so my plan is to use Tailscale. I deployed the Tailscale docker container and installed the Tailscale client on my laptop, and it works fine for services like ssh or eg the Prowlarr web UI, as run in a docker container in bridge mode (and without NATing anything on my router).
So everything works fine, except the Unraid GUI. When I try to access it from the outside (eg. https://100.XXX.XXX.XXX:443), it redirects my browser to tower.local (actually ur.local, which is my custom hostname) then logically fails to resolve DNS.
To rule out any issue with Tailgate, I got rid of it and tried to just forward ports on my router (for troubleshooting purposes only - again I understand this is not recommended), and I am still running into the exact same issue : http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9696 gets me into the prowlarr UI, I can ssh into the server just fine, but https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 redirects to ur.local and the browser logically returns a DNS lookup error.
What am I missing ? Thanks in advance for your help.
