Idea #22427
Updated by Peter Amstutz 26 days ago
Want to be able to create a private overlay network of Arvados instances. Goals: * To make it easy to configure a client device to contact an Arvados appliance. * To be able to federate with Arvados instances behind NAT gateways. Tailscale helps solve naming and routing problems. Notes: You can only (easily) be on one Tailscale network at a time. Even on the same network, Tailscale makes connecting two devices pretty easy without having to think too hard about network topology, NAT, etc. easy. But for local networks, there's other ways to do it, e.g. DNS-SD #22426. For exposing Arvados through a handling NAT gateway, gateways, the alternative is to try and tell the router to forward ports using UPnP. This UPnP, this is generally pretty gross.
