Why can’t you sync NC over Tailscale?
Comment on Self-hosted calendar that isn't Nextcloud and can send e-mail reminders, not just pop-ups
chriscrutch@lemm.ee 7 months agoMy raw IP wouldn’t help, my ISP has me behind CGNAT. I can set up a CalDav server and sync it with Tailscale, but can’t do that for Nextcloud.

Their AIO container straight up fails to work if you don’t have a public ipv4 address and ports open to the world, it’s bizarre.
Luckily the LSIO nextcloud container should work properly.

Interesting, the one time I tried Nextcloud I was using the AIO version, maybe it’ll be slightly less onerous to use the other one. I may give that a shot. Thank you!

Well I may be missing something about how Nextcloud works because I never really fully got it set up. Once I got Nextcloud set up on my domain, how would I go about getting my domain pointed to a Tailscale address?

Personally I run Pi-hole as a DNS server, and add the domain as a custom DNS entry. Then in the Tailscale settings, you can set the DNS server (there is a Tailscale help page for setting up Pi-hole with Tailscale).

Oh, isn’t that interesting. I already run a Pi-Hole but I had never thought of doing that with a custom entry. I suppose that would work, wouldn’t it?
I really dislike that everything in this thread is pushing towards Nextcloud after all. It seems like it should be easier to get email reminders. It should really be somewhere in-between “use Google” and “run Nextcloud and buy a domain name and use a custom piece of hardware to run your own DNS server to which you have to add even more customizations to be able to run and sync the Nextcloud suite, most of which you’ll never use.”

You can bypass CGNAT easily. Look here. I sync contacts, calender, tasks, everything from Nextcloud.

I will look into that, thank you.
