A very experimental alpha plugin which lets you do this:

datasette tailscale mydata.db \
  --ts-authkey tskey-auth-xxxx --ts-hostname datasette-preview

This starts a localhost Datasette server with a Tailscale sidecar that connects it to your Tailnet, such that http://datasette-preview/ serves Datasette.

It's using the Python bindings for the experimental tailscale-rs library. I filed an issue asking if there's a cleaner way of setting up the proxy mechanism.
