## What it is
TSDProxy is a self-hosted service that automatically exposes Docker containers on a Tailscale network via a single reverse proxy. Containers are configured with Docker labels, require no per-service sidecars, and get automatic HTTPS certificates from Tailscale.

## Use cases
- expose docker containers on tailscale network
- automatic https reverse proxy for homelab services
- replace traefik with simpler tailscale proxy
- proxy tcp and udp services like ssh or databases over tailscale
- publish a service publicly with tailscale funnel
- expose multiple ports of a container with one label
- manage self-hosted apps behind headscale control server

## When to choose
- you run docker containers and want them reachable on your tailnet with zero per-container sidecars
- you want label-based configuration and automatic HTTPS without managing certificates
- you need TCP/UDP proxying alongside HTTP services
- you use Tailscale or Headscale in a homelab or self-hosted setup

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose reverse proxy for public traffic without Tailscale
- your containers are not on Docker or a supported provider
- you require advanced routing features like path-based routing or middleware chains typical of Traefik or nginx
