Tailscale
What it is
Tailscale is the WireGuard-based mesh VPN connecting Travis's homelab machines, development workstations, and cloud services into a unified private network. It provides zero-config encrypted connectivity without port forwarding or public exposure, making it the foundation for secure internal service access across the homelab and PBS infrastructure.
Current state
Active mesh. Key usages:
- herbydev access — Tailscale enables VNC access to herbydev from anywhere
- OB1 access — OB1 (Supabase + pgvector) is Tailscale-only, no public endpoint
- Homelab MCP server — MCP access path includes Tailscale alongside Cloudflare Tunnel
- Traefik deployment — Tailscale listed as part of ingress topology (alongside Cloudflare Tunnel)
- Cross-service auth — Services that need inter-machine communication route over Tailscale
Where it lives
- Installed on: herbydev, Proxmox hosts, PBS Linode server (where applicable), OB1 host
- Management: Tailscale admin console (cloud-hosted)
- No self-hosted control plane (using Tailscale's hosted coordination server)
