datasette-tailscale 0.1a0
New alpha Datasette plugin exposes a local SQLite database to a private Tailscale network with one CLI command.
Simon Willison released datasette-tailscale 0.1a0, an experimental alpha plugin that connects a local Datasette server to a Tailscale private network (Tailnet) via a single CLI command. Using a Tailscale auth key and a hostname flag, it starts a localhost server alongside a Tailscale sidecar, making the database reachable at a friendly Tailnet URL. The plugin relies on Python bindings for the experimental tailscale-rs Rust library; Willison has filed an upstream issue about the proxy mechanism, indicating the implementation may change.
datasette-tailscale 0.1a0 is a new, highly experimental alpha plugin for Datasette — the open-source Python tool for exploring and publishing data as interactive web applications — that integrates it with Tailscale's private mesh networking platform. Released by Simon Willison on June 16, 2026, and tagged as alpha (0.1a0), it is explicitly not intended for production use.
