macsrok Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Howdy.... I use Tailscale VPN to remotely manage my Unraid server. It's great, I love it. Currently it is installable via the community applications plugin as a a docker container (deasmi/unraid-tailscale:latest). This works in 98% of instances. The problem that arises is when you need to preform maintenance which requires disabling the docker service. Obviously doing this results in stopping all running dockers which renders the machine unreachable via the Tailscale IP. It should be noted, that I understand Tailscale is essentially a fancy wrapper around Wiregaurd, and Unraid has a Wireguard VPN server built in, it's great, I've used it in the past, however my use case makes it equally undesirable. I'm curious if anyone has attempted to install Tailscale without docker? There is a statically compiled linux binary that is provided on their website ( https://tailscale.com/download/linux/static ). I'm extremely hesitant to attempt an install on my server, as I'm currently traveling and without physical access to the machine for the next few months, and this machine is nearly mission critical for day to day operations. Thanks in advance for the feedback. Quote Link to comment

JonathanM Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 @R86S, why attach an older package? Does the current package https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/tailscale_1.36.1_amd64.tgz from here not work with Unraid for some reason? Quote Link to comment
samsausages Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 If you have gone down the pfsense rabbit hole, their implementation is pretty good and moves it off your server. Quote Link to comment
pzg417 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I'm curious is it feasible to install tailscale on unraid too. Quote Link to comment
