i am trying to host a private game server that was built in GO / gRPC and would like to use tailscale to allow me (and friends) to play the game outside of the house.

It uses port 8080, 3000 and 8003 when launched. I thought at first I could just have tailscale running as well as the terminal with the server open, but apparently it's not that simple - I was informed it needs to be in a docker inside of Tailscale in order for it to work

So my question is, what would the process of that be?

I am trying to host a private server for a game so I can play in my house and away from the house. I can patch the apk to whatever IP and start the server (Which was coded in GO / GRPC / whatever)

I tried tailscale, but that didn't work and figured I'd try this service. It needs 3 ports open to run. Port 3000, 8080 and 8003. I am not sure if it's TCP or UDP, so when setting up my playit account, I get stuck there.

I have a dedicated computer I'll be using for this, it has playit installed and running. I just don't know what more I need to do from there. The server runs off an IP instead of a hostname.

I am on AT&T fiber that has a dynamic IP as well.

I am currently working on a project that is resurrecting a dead online game and we got it to work by localhosting on 10.0.2.2 and it works great. It's a lightweight server client, so I am wanting to use an extra PC I have so I can play the game both at home and away from home with my own server.

I was looking into tailscale, but I am not sure if that will work. The "server" PC will only be used for the game server and nothing else, I just want to make sure no one else has access to my network should they grab the IP.

What solutions will work to give me an IP that will direct to my server outside of the house?
