With Tailscale, can login from iPhone but Test Connection fails

[jeremycherfas]

Trying to set up the iPhone app, I get an error when I test the connection to http://tailnet.domain:3000 but using the exact same URL in Safari on the iPhone allows me to login to Dawarich.

I do not understand how this can be, but happy to try anything to debug and fix.

Thanks

IIRC you need to have a SSL-protected connection to be able to connect your iOS app to any server

I have got SSL on the Raspberry Pi that serves Dawarich, and can connect to both HTTP and HTTPS from another device on my talent. It is only Dawarich on the iPhone that cannot connect.

I subsequently got Overland on the iPhone to send data to the server unsecured, and that works fine too.

I have not used the Dawarich iPhone app enough to know what features I would be missing by sticking with Overland, but I am happy enough with it now to consider the discussion closed.

This is not true.
I can connect to my server (that is running dawarich) just fine using OwnTracks app via tailscale. Also many other apps connect just fine via Tailscale (OpenCloud, Immich, Paperless, Finamp, ...), only the dawarich iOS app cannot connect.
It would be amazing if you could reconsider this feature as I prefer the Dawarich app.

I enabled https on my Tailscale network and created a cert on the Tailscale client where dawarich is hosted.
