Tailscale Setup (Plugin)

• Start by creating a Tailscale account if needed. Tailscale will have you set up on two devices on the first time of creation. I recommend setting it up on your main EDC computer and cell phone.

• After creating an account, it's time to set up the Unraid server. Go to Apps and search for Tailscale. We want the Plugin version.

!! NOTE !! There is a difference between setting it up as a plugin and setting it up as a Docker container within Unraid. Both will allow you to access your server remotely; however, setting it up as a plugin will give you more control over your system. Refer to the documentation for more info.

• Select Install

• Go to Settings > Tailscale > Reauthenticate > Connect and walk through the setup instructions to connect with your account.

• Enable access to subnets for ease of use and full access to other containers

  1. Settings > Tailscale > Subnet router > (not advertising any routers)

  2. Open the main UnRaid terminal

     Tailscale up --advertise-routes=YOUR IP ADDRESS/24

!! NOTE !! YOU MUST USE CIDR NOTATION

• Back in unRaid, it should now say "YOUR IP ADDRESS/24 Pending approval"

• Go back to the Tailscale website > Unraid machine > ... > Edit route settings

  1. Tick the box with your IP range

• Tailscale (Plugin) is now set up on unRaid
