[Plugin] Tailscale

[Masterwishx]

@EDACerton Very like this plugin and tailscale , but becouse UI isn't opened using cool UI headscale-admin, but interesting if this plugin can be adopted for using with Netbird ?

Will be cool to have Also Netbird plugin in Unraid 🙂

Hoi, how do i setup unraid as the exit node? Cause it's option is greyed out, and can't seem to edit anything in it. The container is apparently now only for specialist use now, but it somehow worked, and got to use it as a exit node, and vpn my phone to my home server for blocking ads, but got no local address access of tailscale IP, nor my local home ip when on 5g. 

So i want to find out how to properly take control of the plugin.

You're welcome to use my plugin as a starting point, but this isn't something that I intend to work on.

You have to switch to the editing mode by clicking the "Viewing" button in the web interface.

 

Alternately, you can use the Tailscale CLI to enable exit node.

Thanks a lot, for now im OK with headscale + tailscale but would like to check how netbird working in future maybe if my skill will be enough to make plugin at all even made on this plugin. 🙂

Hi fellows. First up: Great job with the plugin and many thanks 🙏. Keep up the good work. 🤜

 

I have one issue with it, that bothers me now for days and I can't seem to get a fix for it: I have a public domain (*.tail.example.com) pointing to my Tailscale-FQDN of my unRAID server. On the unRAID machine I have an Nginx Proxy Manager container running, which passes the different subdomains to the services (e.g. photos.tail.example.com to Immich, etc.). This works like a charm from every device on my Tailscale network.

 

Now I wanted to add Authentik for SSO to the services, which was not a problem in the first place. The thing that is not working is the containers (on a bridge-network) are not able to reach the subdomains. For example I have a domain auth.tail.example.com that points to the Authentik container. The authentication-route must reach the domain to be able to create a token.

 

I nailed it down to the problem that the host system (unRAID) is not resolving the domain completely. When I run

dig auth.tail.example.com

it yields the FQDN of the unraid node as the answer, but not the actual Tailscale-IP, which it should. So I guess there is something wrong with the DNS-resolution, especially the resolution being not done to the end.

 

I have set the DNS-Servers on unRAID to 100.100.100.100 and 192.168.188.10 (PiHole running on unRAID on br0 with fixed IP).

 

Here are my Tailscale-plugin-settings:

 

Does anybody of you guys have had similar issues or any advice for me of how I can fix this issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

still the same 404 nginx error after fresh unraid installation. what can I do about it?

[blitzio]

I managed to get the plugin to work by following some guides on YouTube and some posts here, but I'm just wondering why my Settings folder looks very bare and different from everyone else who has posted so far in the thread.

 

Here's what mine currently looks like, am using the latest version:

 

 

Did I miss out something during installation? Could someone please guide me on what to check or fix the issue?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

I’m new to Unraid too, you have to tick the top right slider from Basic View -> Advanced View. I hope this helps.

Oh that's it, thanks for your reply. Easy fix. Appreciate it!

I'm still new to this plugin, and so when I checked my Tailscale admin page today, I saw this:

 

 

I understand that since this is a Plugin, we'll have to wait for the next version to be updated on the Unraid Plugin page instead, right?

 

I just wanted to double-check and make sure because I tried clicking start update and doing it via terminal, and it won't seem to update.

 

Thanks!

Also here for the 1.66 update info. Following.
The 1.64.0 update was available here 4 days after initial Tailscale release, fyi.

Edited May 11 by Praetoriate

[Darien]

For what it's worth, the vulnerability patched by 1.66 is only relevant in certain circumstances. See here: https://tailscale.com/security-bulletins#ts-2024-005

[EDACerton]

1.66.1 is available via the preview version of the plugin. It will get pushed to the main version in a few days.

 

For those posting about updates, please remember:

• I am a volunteer
• I have a family
• I have a full-time job to pay the bills

I try to get to updates quickly, but there are other things that are higher priority, so sometimes the plugin updates have to wait for a few days 😀.

Dude, absolutely no worries!
I am so new here, only heard about unRAID 2 weeks ago.
I am impressed that a user is devving this, kudos to you man.

Yes, we totally understand; no rush or anything was meant.

 

I'm also new and just recently discovered this plugin. Thank you for all that you do in creating it and its continuing maintenance.

[blitzio]

On a separate note, I wanted to ask if anyone else is having issues using an Exit Node getting low speeds and having your clients connect via relay instead of a direct connection? I keep getting a relay despite following the docs to forward the specified ports.

 

https://tailscale.com/kb/1082/firewall-ports

 

I ask because I have a relatively well-spec'd unraid server with gigabit fiber as my exit node and want to get fast speeds, but I keep connecting as a relay and only get 20mbps download/upload speeds.

Hi, I am new to this stuff. I want to have remote access to my homeserver on unraid. came to tailscale. came to know plugin is better option than regular one. but its really difficult how to install plugin. I have not found any setup guide. Can anyone help with setting it up?

Thanks.

You install the plugin from the CA then go to Settings → Tailscale. You can log in to your account there, and you're good to go.

Thanks, i got it up and running. was really simple.

The latest version of tailscale has broken all my dockers.

 

It sets the DNS for the host system and all dockers to 100.100.100.100 using magic DNS.

 

However none of the dockers can ping 100.100.100.100 so all services that require DNS fail.

 

The previous version of tailscale was working fine, the 2024-05-11 seems to have broken everything.

Yup,

 

I had the exact same thing.. diasbled tailscale and everything works again. Found out that resolv.conf is being overwritten instead of adding.

 

Took me a few hours to find this..

[cinereus]

Seems you can fix it by running

tailscale set --stateful-filtering=false

in the host

[EDACerton]

I just pushed an update to the plugin that automatically applies the workaround.
