August 5, 2025Aug 5 The container that I run (tailscale DERP), if running on a VPS server, needs to map var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock to the bare-metal tailscale client on the same VPS, to make the "verify clients" function work. That is working fine on VPS.However, if I want to run the same DERP server as a container on Unraid, initially, I thought I could map the socket to the Tailscale plugin's socket, but I can't because Docker can't access/see the Tailscale plugin socket. The solution could be to turn "Tailscale Use" on in my DERP docker template in order to have another Tailscale client running alongside my derp server inside the same container. By checking the DERP container console, the socket is stored at /opt/unraid/tailscale/tailscaled.sock My question is how to make derp container use tailscale socket at /opt/unraid/tailscale/tailscaled.sock instead of at /var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock
