http://[IP]:[PORT:61208]/ => http://[HOSTNAME]:[PORT:61208]/

Tailscale has a great feature in it called MagicDNS that allows you to use the hostname to connect to a device on your own tailnet.

 

While I am on my home network the Docker Template entry for WebGUI is fine:

http://[IP]:[PORT:61208]/

But with MagicDNS running I can use the home name instead and the bonus is . . . I can use it from anywhere, which is awesome!. However, the WebGUI default is [IP] and I want to change it to [HOSTNAME] like below

 

http://[HOSTNAME]:[PORT:61208]/ 

Sadly, from my testing -  HOSTNAME does not work. Nor does hostname, HOST_NAME, Host, HOST, name, NAME

 

So my 2 questions are:

1. What is the variable like [IP] for 'HOSTNAME'?

2. How can I change the Docker core settings to use ?[HOSTNAME]? all the time as a default i.e everytime I install an app it no longer uses [IP]
