In this video, Alex shows how to use the community project DockTail, to turn Docker labels into native Tailscale Services. DockTail watches your Docker containers, reads their labels, and automatically exposes matching containers as private Tailscale Services without publishing ports directly on the host. It is a bit like a Tailscale-native workflow for Docker apps, especially if you are used to tools like Traefik.
