Using Tailscale to self-host ERPNext on the public internet

1

For self-hosting, I just found out we can use Tailscale VPN as the name for your sites (e.g https://erpnext.tail4bc1cc.ts.net/) for the following reasons: -
a) You dont want Traefik (docker setup) to display that pesky security alert TLS security alert when you load your site i.e. it gives you a HTTPS site
b) You want to use either dropbox or Google Drive for backups and you need OAuth2 redirect HTTPS URI
c) You want trusted people outside to be able to access your ERPNext site (tailscale serve --help)
d) You want to host your ERPNext to the general internet public (tailscale funnel --help) but be careful of bots/hackers and wait about 10 minutes for DNS propagation

I personally prefer Pangolin and Cloudflare Tunnel. It’s a nice way to selfhost things especially when you don’t have a public static IP.
