Can it run as a docker container on a closed network? #84

devra1 · 2025-05-26T15:06:19Z

Hi. I implemented the docker container for rdgen on a server which runs on a tailscale network and is behind a Traefik reverse proxy. It is accessible anywhere from my Tailnet, but not from the Internet.

The GUI runs, but when I press Generate Custom Client, the screen shows "Status: Starting generator...please wait" and it never progresses.
The logs from the docker container show:
"checking icon"
"Invalid base64 data"
"Invalid base64 data"
"<Response [204]>"

I was not sure what the GENURL environment variable in the compose file should be so I set it to my server address "rdgen.mydomain" but like I said, this is only accessible from within my Tailnet. I had also set the Respository secrets in the GitHub fork to be the same.
Am I misunderstanding something?

Yes, you are misunderstanding the fact that for this to work, it has to be accessible from within the github action. Basically, the clients are built using github actions, and require that github can send you the completed client executable files. Therefore, your server must be accessible from the internet.
