I've just about got this Docker thing licked. After hundreds of hours, I finally get it, and my dusty millenial ass has joined the 21st century.
-but we have issues
==============================xxxx==============================
The environment:
I have multiple containers running on my local network, including photoprism, Kavita, and Filebrowser. I also installed Heimdall as a startpage. On the local network everything works great.
The entire goal of this project is to have these services accessible from outside the house, from my mobile devices but also with the ability to share links and files with friends.
==============================xxxx==============================
The problem:
Enter Tailscale. I tried port forwarding, having a domain, all that jazz, but it ended up being way too complicated. I don't want just anyone to access my shit, I only want a handful to be able to use services of my choosing in accordance with the user permissions I set up for them. Tailscale was the first thing I tried that worked.
I added my docker instance to tailscale, and when you access the machine, you are correctly taken to my Heimdal start page. Unfortunately, when you click on the icons for my docker services, the browser gives you an "unable to connect" error.
Under my Tailscale admin panel, the services are listed along with their port and IP information. Heimdall (443) and Portainer(8000) are listed as https and http under "type", as expected. The remaining services are listed as "other." (the portainer link doesn't work either)

Has anyone else dealt with this?

If this has to do with ports, is there an easy way to configure ports without having to re-run the images and make new containers?
