What is the Tailscale Docker Desktop Extension?

With Tailscale, create a secure, virtual private network to connect your devices to in minutes. Tailscale’s Docker Desktop extension enables you to connect your containers to your Tailscale network. Any containers with exposed ports are available to others on the same tailnet (Tailscale network). This extension is available in the Docker Desktop Extensions Marketplace.

Tailscale lets you:

  • Share development servers with your teammates without any extra setup
  • Access databases and sensitive development resources without exposing them to the public internet
  • Utilize shortnames for your devices and containers using MagicDNS

About Tailscale

Tailscale is a zero-config VPN that installs on any device in minutes, manages firewall rules for you, and works from anywhere. No matter the firewalls or containerization layers that may exist between devices, Tailscale just works. With robust access control rules enforced by each device, users on your network can only access what they’re allowed to.
