Show HN: Using Tailscale with Apple's containerization stack

Score: 4.3/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 4, Documentation: 6, Utility: 3)

This project demonstrates how to run Tailscale inside Apple's macOS containerization stack using userspace networking mode, since the Virtualization framework lacks native WireGuard kernel support. It provides helper scripts to store auth keys in Apple Keychain and connect to containers via Tailscale SSH. While the approach is a specific workaround for a macOS limitation, it addresses a niche but practical need for Tailscale users on Apple platforms.

Target audience: backend devs, devops
