How to access GitLab on a private network with Tailscale

GitLab can be easily installed on most Linux distributions, but accessing it from outside a private network typically requires router configuration, which poses security risks and challenges, especially if the ISP does not provide a static IP address. Tailscale, leveraging the WireGuard protocol, simplifies setting up a VPN by providing a user-friendly client for various platforms, allowing seamless and secure remote access to services like GitLab without complex router configurations. By using Tailscale, one can assign a static IP within the network, set up DNS records, and ensure secure access through HTTPS encryption using Let's Encrypt certificates. This approach enables running GitLab in a home network while maintaining secure and hassle-free remote connectivity.
