Tailscale install¶
This How-to covers only the installation of the Tailscale cloud service program.
Note
Once installed, see our Tailscale service documentation for configuration and use.
Upstream instructions¶
This How-to is derived from, and secondary to, the canonical upstream instructions as provided by Tailscale themselves. It is intended only to assist in providing relevant links and light guidance.
Note
Rockstor is “Built on openSUSE”, specifically openSUSE Leap or Tumbleweed: depending on the installer used. Our Tailscale service integration requires only that a recent Tailscale instance be installed. The Tailscale Stable variant is advised but not assumed.
Built on openSUSE Leap¶
Installs derived from our Leap based downloadable installers.
Warning
As of this How-to’s publication, tailscale does not yet provide Leap 15.6 repositories. Until Tailscale resolves this situation, consider using their 15.5 repository in the interim period. Also note that their Downloads -> Linux -> Manually install on … dropdown is now years out-of-date. Reference instead the following more maintained instructions.
Note
Replace $VERSION in the above instructions with your base OS Leap version.
E.g. for Leap 15.6 (using the 15.5 repo instead):
sudo rpm --import https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/opensuse/leap/15.5/repo.gpg
sudo zypper ar -g -r https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/opensuse/leap/15.5/tailscale.repo
sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper in tailscale
Continue service enablement & configuration via our Web-UI Tailscale service intergration.
Built on openSUSE Tumbleweed¶
Installs derived from our Tumbleweed based downloadable installers.
E.g.
sudo rpm --import https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo.gpg
sudo zypper ar -g -r https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/opensuse/tumbleweed/tailscale.repo
sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper in tailscale
Continue service enablement & configuration via our Web-UI Tailscale service intergration.
