How to use Django-Filter together with Django-Taggit (to filter posts by tags)?

I would like to filter my posts by tags. How could I use it together with Django filter? My current situation:

#models.py

from taggit.managers import TaggableManager

class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length = 200)
    text = models.TextField(null = True, blank = True)
    tags = TaggableManager()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title


#forms.py

class PostForm(ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = Post
        fields = '__all__'


#filter.py

class PostFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):

   class Meta:
       model = Post
       fields = ['title', 'text']


#views.py

def index(request):
    posts = Post.objects.all()
    tags = Tag.objects.all()
    myFilter = PostFilter(request.GET, queryset=posts)
    posts = myFilter.qs
    context = {'posts':posts, 'myFilter':myFilter, 'tags':tags}
    return render(request, 'posts/index.html', context)

Is there a way to include tags to the forms.py?

edit: added models.py. The "tags" are imported from taggit, but cannot be simply added to the fields in forms.py

You can do it by the tags name

class FilterName(django_filters.FilterSet):
    class Meta:
        model = Modelname
        fields = {'tags__name':{'exact'}}
