Manual package installation and usage for Unraid:

💡 Each step is performed one-time as initial setup, whereafter Tailscale will be logged in and running automatically on boot.

1. Create persisted directory

   root@unraid:~# mkdir /boot/config/tailscale
   

2. Download tailscale_XXX.txz and move to /boot/config/tailscale

   root@unraid:~# cd /boot/config/tailscale
   root@unraid:/boot/config/tailscale# wget <url-of-tailscale-XXX.txz>
   

3. Create empty tailscaled.state file

   root@unraid:~# touch /boot/config/tailscale/tailscaled.state
   

4. Append the following to /boot/config/go

   installpkg /boot/config/tailscale/tailscale-XXX.txz
   ln -s /boot/config/tailscale/tailscaled.state /var/lib/tailscale/tailscaled.state
   /usr/sbin/tailscaled &
   

5. Stop file

• a) If /boot/config/stop does not exist create it

  root@unraid:~# echo -e '#!/bin/bash\n' > /boot/config/stop
  root@unraid:~# chmod +x /boot/config/stop
  

• b) Append the following to /boot/config/stop

  killall tailscaled
  /usr/sbin/tailscaled --cleanup
  

6. Reboot Unraid

7. Authenticate by URL

   root@unraid:~# tailscale up
   
   To authenticate, visit:
   
       https://login.tailscale.com/a/abc123abc123
   

8. Check Tailscale IP and ping test server

   root@unraid:~# ip -4 addr show tailscale0
   21: tailscale0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1280 qdisc fq state UNKNOWN group default qlen 500
   inet 100.XXX.XXX.XXX/32 scope global tailscale0
      valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
   
   root@unraid:~# ping -c 1 100.101.102.103
