Tailscale

Installs Tailscale to reach this server over your private tailnet; you sign in with a link it prints.

Runs on

  • Debian / Ubuntu: supported
  • RHEL / Fedora: supported
  • Alpine: supported

What it changes on your server

  • Adds Tailscale's repository (signing key checked) or uses Alpine's package.
  • Installs and starts tailscaled at boot.
  • Starts sign-in: the output shows a link to add this server to your tailnet.

What Shellbay asks you

Nothing. This workflow needs no details from you.

Steps

  1. Install download tools
  2. Add Tailscale's repository
  3. Install Tailscale
  4. Start tailscaled and enable it at boot
  5. Start sign-in

Shellbay checks the server before the first step, and stops at the first step that fails.

When it's done

  • Open Output and follow the sign-in link to add this server to your tailnet (unless it was already connected).
  • Then connect to it in Shellbay by its Tailscale name or 100.x address.
