      of course you could always deploy truenas as a VM within Unraid and get the best of both worlds - depending on your requirements of course.

    Thanks for doing a video that covers the plugin installation!
    The Tailscale DNS setting is generally not needed on Unraid installs, and can cause unexpected behavior in some cases since the DNS implementation on Unraid is very simple (resolv.conf only). I generally recommend that folks leave that setting off unless there's a specific need for it -- that's why I have it hidden in the basic settings. You can still access Unraid via MagicDNS with the setting turned off.
    The reason that changing that setting fixed the WebGUI was because Tailscale restarts when settings are changed. You can accomplish the same result by using the Restart button in the Tailscale settings. (I have an improvement coming in the next update that will hopefully eliminate this restart, it only affects the initial login to Tailscale but is still annoying.)
    Also, on an unrelated note, you don't have to use the CLI to advertise routes... if you click the "Viewing" button in the top right of the "Tailscale" page, it'll let you switch to an edit mode and add routes via the web interface.

      When I try this I get "Cannot access this device’s Tailscale IP. Make sure you are connected to your tailnet, and that your policy file allows access."
      Do we need to change something in the policy file or the plugin settings?

    I always enjoy your videos Ed, but this is one of the better ones, and super help full. Its an awesome way to invite people into your system if you need help, or just wanna share with friends and family. I use the build in wireguard, and use it daily, but this is more versatile.
    I also do agree that reverse proxying and opening up the entire system to the wider internet is a bad thing, (If you don't haft to) and we should all try and keep things as tight as possible.

I just wanted to start learning about the more advanced features of tailscale, like subnet routing, sharing devices and SSH via tailscale. Excited for part 2!

I think the Headscale part added too much complexity so I'll probably revisit it with just Tailscale after watching your tutorial once it's out.

    For those at 13:14 in the video trying to log into Unraid for the first time, if it's failing you might need to add the port to the end of the URL. For example, my Unraid login is port 1115 (not the default) and in order to get the login page to work I had to add :1115 to the end of the IP address, then it worked like a charm.

    Hi, good video but I have a question, you showed how to access 2 local servers via tailscale but how that would be if you want to access 2 remote servers and their containers with their local ip instead of tailscale ip. Advertise routes on 2 different remote servers won't work I assume as --accept-routes won't know which route to accept.

  • @DuRtyThuRdY
    @DuRtyThuRdY 4 місяці тому +1

    Just a little tidbit… IF you have changed the port of your Unraid Dashboard. You will need to add the port number to the IP address that Tailscale gives you to make this work. I’m not sure yet how to add it for the magicDNS stuff.

    I did notice though I ran into an issue. Plex was kicking out, secure connection and was no longer available after a short period of time after installing this plug-in.
    On Unraid 6.12.9 I found the problem to be I needed to update the unraid server software to 6.12.13 And that cleared up the problem been stable for several days now, but it was causing indirect connections outside of the home before updating. I hope this helps. Anyone else with the same issue or similar.

If there was a service on that network that I wanted to access via that same subnet (192.168.1.0/24 for example) I wouldn't be able to as long as my tailscale client was connected? If I wanted to connect to that networks private IPs from within that subnet, I would need to disconnect/close my tailscale client, yes?

    If I'm ok with setting up the port fowarding, is there any reason not to just use the builtin VPN functionality of unRAID and set up a VPN peer for each device I want to connect it to? I know its not common but I have an IP that doesn't change. I don't pay for a permanent IP but it hasn't changed in 6 years. I also run a godaddy script to update my IP in the DNS entry for my domain name pointing to my server.
    What are the upsides to using tailscale over Wireguard natively?
