Hey guys,

I’m pretty new to this hobby and need some help configuring nginx and tailscale. I have a basic understanding of docker, but I’m still learning.

I’m running a media server (jellyfin, prowlarr, radarr, the bunch) and pihole on a host laptop in docker with compose, and installed tailscale, but not in a container. To access my docker services I set them to network_mode: host, and everything works fine, but I want to set up nginx for the domain names.

I tried running nginx in a separate container, it wont start because the ports are already in use (I suspect by pihole), but this wouldnt solve the tailscale issue anyway.

My theory is that putting a tailscale client in a container with nginx, creating a docker network, and setting all my services to this network would work, but then I still have the port issue (not even mentioning that for some reason running nginx gives me readonly errors in jellyfin)

Could you suggest a solution to this? Am I overthinking it?

Thanks!
