Unraid is Partnering with Tailscale for Seamless, Secure Networking Solutions

[SpencerJ]

We are thrilled to announce a Technology Alliance Partnership with Tailscale, marking an exciting step forward in secure networking for your Unraid systems. 

 

What does this mean?

• The Tailscale plugin is now an official Lime Technology plugin
• Unraid 7-beta.3 comes equipped with native Tailscale (ts.net) certificate support
• In the future, we will release new functionality that will make adding Tailscale to individual Docker containers extremely easy to do.  Remote Shares over SMB/NFS will also be a breeze with new Tailscale integrations
• More to come (that I can't talk about yet)!

 

Read the full announcement and learn how to get Tailscale up and running on your Unraid server up in minutes!

With Tailscale being integrated into Unraid, does that mean it'll still stay in the Plugin, or is it going to be fully integrated?

 

I ask because right now, anything integrated into the OS, only gets updated when the OS gets updated. And then, if folks have issues with a release, they have to hold back. If Tailscale is completely integrated into the OS, then Tailscale will only be updated when the OS is updated. That would be a regression from today's plugin/docker approaches where they can be updated independently of the OS releases.

This (along with the wording in the full announcement) seems to suggest that it will continue to use a plugin architecture probably like the Unraid Connect plugin.

Yes- it is my understanding that it will remain a plugin to allow for updates outside of OS releases.
