DockTail

We now support using only funnel to connect to a service, without running any Services on that container.

Thanks for all the feedback 🙏

• add IGNORE_SERVICE_NAMES to protect named svc: services from DockTail reconciliation cleanup
• apply the ignore list during both regular reconciliation and shutdown cleanup, with normalization so either foo or svc:foo works
• document the new env var and add e2e coverage for a manually created protected service (svc:e2e-manual-protected)

First of all, thanks for all the feedback so far. Keep it coming! This feature came from a community request and adds the ability to publish a container as multiple different services at the same time through different ports. This can look something like this:

services:
  gluetun:
    image: gluetun:latest
    labels:
      - "docktail.service.enable=true"
      - "docktail.service.name=qbittorrent"
      - "docktail.service.port=8000"
      - "docktail.service.1.name=bitmagnet"
      - "docktail.service.1.port=8001"

This release makes it a lot easier and more secure to use DockTail for your setup. You're no longer required to publish ports to the host for the to be published as a Tailscale Service!

You don't need to change anything and legacy setups should continue to work the same as before. Refer to the ReadMe to see how to use it without port publishing.

Thanks for all the positive feedback in the last few weeks! 🎉

Stable release of DockTail - automatically expose Docker containers as Tailscale Services using label-based configuration.

Highlights

• Label-based container discovery and service advertisement
• HTTP, HTTPS (auto TLS), and TCP protocol support
• OAuth integration for automatic service creation
• Tailscale Funnel for public internet access
• Stateless Docker container with periodic reconciliation

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback and reported issues during early access!
