Hello guys,

I'm trying to get Domain Names to work inside my Tailnet. My setup is a Tailscale Docker container running inside a docker network. The DNS server (dnsmasq) is also running inside this docker network. Tailscale uses --advertise-routes=172.18.0.0/16 to expose the docker network and so the DNS server is theoreticly reachable over the Tailnet with the IP 172.18.0.x, but I just cant figure out, how to tell my phone to use this as its DNS server.

I would also like to still have another 'real' DNS server configured for my phone, so I dont have to use my selfhosted DNS server for every DNS lookup. From what I could gather already, Private DNS on android is an option, that might work, but when I tried it, I couldnt enter my DNS servers IP address and then, from how I understand it, this is my only DNS server configured for the phone.

I hope I could describe my problem as good as possible and someone is able to help me out. :)

The thing that comes to mind for me is a self hosted NAS or Cloud Storage (depending from where you want to access your stuff). These solutions are relatively easy to set up and allow you to store many photos with good access control. It may not be exactly the thing you're looking for but it's an easy and expandable solution.
