Outline using tailscale IP address

Open gvteja opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Hi, I use Tailscale to create a private VPN of the devices that I own. The devices on which I would like to use Outline have Tailscale installed, and as a result, they can all access each other. I would like to be able to use the internal IP address provided by Tailscale to use as the hostname for the Outline server, since that's more secure (don't have to open up any ports) and also provides me with a stable IP. I tried to create a new Outline server by install_server.sh --hostname <tailscale internal ip>

The install script completed and I got an API URL. I pasted that in the Outline manager and it too successfully detected that as a server. However, when I use that to connect to the server, using the outline client, it never completes. I would appreciate any help in debugging why that setup is not working, or if instead, its unsupported and not expected to work.
