A really nifty thing is that you can also of course bind this to the device's tailscale ip!

Also you don't even need the loopback address if the traffic is between one container and another, just a bridge network is fine.

This is how I self host all my home services (Home Assistant, PFSense, Frigate etc), I do not for the life of me understand why so many folks doing self-hosted services for themselves put them on the public internet.

Caddy will even do fully automated valid TLS certificates for private IP ranges via DNS ACME challenge for free etc with renewals handled, so all my internal self-hosted sites have properly terminated TLS too, accessible by connected VPN clients.

It's funny that for many of us in our day job, we stand up private services behind a VPN all the time so only work clients can access it, but when self hosting don't bother with a simple wireguard/tailscale config etc.
