In this exciting new episode of the Uncast Show, we welcome Alex Kretzschmar, Head of Developer Relations at Tailscale and co-host of the Self-hosted podcast to talk about the magic that is Tailscale.
They discussed using Tailscale on Unraid and announced an exciting new partnership and integration between the two products.
Later, they delve into other technical topics like NAT traversal, remote access, ts.net certs, Tailscale Serve vs. Funnel, and much, much more.
Lastly, the conversation wouldn't be complete without delving into self-hosting best practices, discussing the advantages of containerization over virtual machines, and discussing emerging trends in the self-hosting space while finding a balance between self-hosted and commercial products.
