I may be (probably am) worrying too much about this, but doesn’t that remove much of the benefit of running services in containers? My understanding is that one benefit of containerization is so that if one service is somehow compromised, the others remain isolated, but running the service that allows you inside on bare metal gives single point access to the drives that those other services rely on, and that’s from the most likely point someone could get into your network. Alternatively, if Tailscale is containerized and someone gets in, they have access to the other services’ front ends but not the data they rely on since Tailscale itself doesn’t have that access.
