This Docker Compose configuration sets up Nanote with Tailscale as a sidecar container to securely manage and access your self-hosted note-taking application over a private Tailscale network. By integrating Tailscale, you can ensure that your Nanote instance remains private and accessible only to authorized devices within your Tailscale network.
Nanote is a lightweight, self-hosted note-taking application designed for simplicity and speed. It provides a distraction-free environment to jot down quick notes, ideas, or reminders without the complexity of traditional note-taking apps. By integrating Tailscale, you can keep your Nanote instance secure and accessible only within your private network.
- Minimalist Design – A clean and distraction-free interface for note-taking.
- Fast & Lightweight – Optimized for quick note-taking without unnecessary bloat.
- Self-Hosted Privacy – Keep your notes secure and under your control.
- Markdown Support – Write notes in Markdown for easy formatting.
- Secure Access with Tailscale – Restrict access to only authorized devices within your private network.
In this setup, the tailscale-nanote service runs Tailscale, which manages secure networking for the Nanote service. The nanote service uses the Tailscale network stack via Docker's network_mode: service: configuration. This ensures that Nanote’s web interface and note storage are only accessible through the Tailscale network (or locally, if preferred), adding an extra layer of security and privacy to your note-taking workflow.
