April 9, 20251 yr Hi all, I'm trying to enable Tailscale on my Plex docker, and following the instructions I found below. 1. Edit Plex container and in template will see a new tailscale toggle. Enable it. 2. Tailscale hostname: set name eg Plex 3. Tailscale serve: set to funnel 4. Click on update container. 5. On Plex container click on logs 6. There will be a tailscale link to connect to your tailscale account. Click on it and link. 7. In tailscale copy the domain url of the Plex machine. Eg plex.bread.ts.net and put into note pad Plex server/account settings: 1. Go to server settings (spanner top right corner) 2. Go to remote access tab and disable 3. Go to network tab and scroll down to bottom 4. Under Custom server access URLS, type your domain url in here. Make sure to put https:// in front of your domain. Eg. [https://plex.bread.ts.net](https://plex.bread.ts.net) 5. Press save 6. Restart Plex container 7. Wait for 30 seconds for things to sync and it should be working. However as soon as I enable Tailscale I lose access to the UI of Plex. If I disable it then I regain access. Screenshot of docker below. I have tried setting the network type to bridge mode and that doesn't work either. Any idea what's going on? When I view the logs for Plex there's no errors. Tailscale is installed and the last line says that the funnel is being enabled.
April 10, 20251 yr I got this weird issue also but all I had to while I connected locally on the same network as my server, I turn off Tailscale on my pc/phone then access it locally from its IP and it works. I only turn on Tailscale on my devices when I'm out of my local network and I'm able to connect to it.
June 2, 20251 yr Were you able to get this working? I'm running into the same issue and haven't been able to figure anything out.
