Hello

I have a issue, I'm undergoing a bit setup and keep hitting hurdles.

I use star link as I don't get good broadband, though we are in the process of the village having fttp setup.

Star link is a CGNAT which causes all sorts of problems with remote access.

My container setup:

GlutunVPN

• binhex-qbittorrent

• binhex-radarr

• binhex-sonarr

• firefox

• binhex-overseer

• binhex-prowlarr

Plex (br0 + tailscale)

I have tried setting a custom server URL in plex but of course sonarr and plex don't speak. Data travels from sonnarr to the VPN and to the web.

So I realise I need to setup tailscale on Glutun.

However I get this issue in the container log:

I'm not sure if this is a docker, glutun or tailscale issue.

I am also not sure what the persistent Docker directory is?

I do see under tailscale advanced options:

Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help.

I have had to amend port 3001 to 4001 as firefox uses 3001.

Can any one help?

Thank you

Embarrassingly it was late last night, and a google search found:

This has the solution. The host path 1 is "config" is a binhex plex; therefore the state directory is /config/.tailscale_state.

Really nice step by step guide from @ich777

It is also noted in spaceinvaders GlutunVPN setup (which I have had to go to as enabling tailscale stopped the VPN from working; I originally skipped this part of the video as at that time I found unclear what it was) but outbound firwall and a few other things need to be enabled.
