Folks,

When I'm at home, I've got Heimdall setup to let me into my applications easily.

When I'm away, I use tailscale to get into my home network. But I end up having to put in the URLs of the applications manually.

What options do I have? Do I setup another Heimdall instance with all the URLs as tailscale friendly?

Is there another dashboard solution out there that maybe takes the base URL of the dashboard and uses that to build the URLs of the applications?

So if I go to home.local then all the apps point to home.local:port and if I get to the dashboard using home.ts.net, then all the apps become home.ts.net:ports

Any suggestions or recommendations of dashboards that do this?

What about only using the mesh ~~von~~ vpn ips?, even in lan.

what are mesh von ips?

Oh, you mean e.g. always using the tailscale IP? Sure, I can do that. But it sure would be a pain since at home I use the .local domain very comfortably...

Yes!

Sry for the typo. Mesh vpn.

I use bookmarks which is very convenient. In the past, I also used public domains that simply point to the local IP. E.g. sub.test.com points to 192.1.1.1:8080 instead of a global ip.
