This Docker Compose configuration sets up Radarr with Tailscale as a sidecar container to securely manage and access your media management system over a private Tailscale network. By using Tailscale in a sidecar configuration, you can enhance the security and privacy of your Radarr instance, ensuring that it is only accessible within your Tailscale network.
Radarr is an open-source, self-hosted application for managing movies in your media collection. It allows you to automatically download movies from Usenet and BitTorrent sources and organize them in your media library. This configuration leverages Tailscale to securely connect to your Radarr instance, ensuring that your media management interface is protected from unauthorized access and that your instance is accessible only via your private Tailscale network.
In this setup, the tailscale-radarr service runs Tailscale, which manages secure networking for the Radarr service. The radarr service uses the Tailscale network stack via Docker's network_mode: service: configuration. This setup ensures that Radarr’s web interface and API are only accessible through the Tailscale network (or locally, if preferred), providing an extra layer of security and privacy for your self-hosted media manager.
