Should I enable Wireless Meshing if all APs are hardwired?

I'm unclear on why one might use wireless meshing if all APs are hardwired unifi APs. Is this something that I should disable or does enabling it somehow speed up handoffs?

Thank you,

Do I still want a reverse proxy if all services are confined to the TailNet?

I have a growing list of services that I want to be able to share with my family. Currently, I just use their local IPs or the corresponding tailnet domain if I'm remote.

Since each service has its own LXC or VM with a unique IP, I can add a CNAME to my domain to map, say:

jellyfin.mydomain.net => jellyfin.tail123abc.ts.net

I can think of a few minor reasons but don't know how compelling they are:

  • I can map a nonstandard port number (such as 8096) to a standard port such as 8080.
  • I can in the future move services without having to update the CNAME record.
  • I can in the future host multiple services on the same interface.

I've never used Traefik or Nginx or Caddy and perhaps there are other reasons that I should use one of them.

For my use case where the network traffic is securely confined to my TailNet, is there a compelling reason for me to use one of these and, if so, which do you recommend?

Thank you,
Keith

How do I let containers pick up DNS IPs from DHCP?

When I configure an LXC, the default behaviour for DNS is "use host settings". But if my network interface is using DHCP, I would rather it used the DNS IPs provided by DHCP. Is there a way to do this?

It seems wrong to have the container ignore the DHCP replies definition.

And obviously, I don't want to have to manually configure the DNS servers for every LXC; that would be even worse.

My current hotel has no WiFi password and no captive portal. The Beryl does not automatically join the WiFi when I select it and it does not let me leave the password field blank.

It is running 4.8.1.

How do I get it to connect?

Thank you
