Firstly tonight I found tail scale. Oh My Gosh - WOW. It has blown my mind.

I clearly missed the memo !!

Ok so UNRAID I am using the Limetech latest tailscale plugin and I want my subnet 192.168.1.0/24 shared. It is enabled.

I also am using it as an exit node.

My iPhone is also on my tail net.

When I disconnect from WiFi and onto 4G: I type in 192.168.1.50 and up pops my UNRAID server.

I type 192.168.1.1 and up pops my router - this confirms the subnet is working correctly.

My ISSUE:

I have a PLEX container running in Docker with a custom: br0

I am using the IP 192.168.1.51.

When I type http://192.168.1.51:32400/web into the phone it does not show.

It is working on my LAN.

Why is it not working if it shows on my LAN, and what do I need to do to make it work; do I need either tunnel or serve enabled; if so which one, and why.

Assuming I want to go via the subnet.

You didn't enable "Host access to Custom Networks" in the unraid docker settings page.

@MowMdown Cheese and Crackers - I would have been there for months!!!! Working a treat over the subnet.

I'm so impressed.

Now I just got to work out communication with (PLEX br0 + tailscale) and (SONARR within Gluetun).

I find it easier to use docker compose and using the tunnel all traffic at the unraid host level to move endpoints. Usually its the downloading parts... Transmission, qbit etc you want different endpoints on

example ars compose setup...

I highly recommended reviewing:
https://bmartino1.weebly.com/guide-dockernetworks.html

as you will need to use the network container or docker cli to connect the gluten vpn docker to the others...

other recommended docker /vm/ unraid networking options...

I think this may answer another question I have just posted at this exact moment, however its 1am here so I won't really take it in well.

I am going to give this a good read though tomorrow 👍
