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 downloadable installer used. Our Tailscale service integration requires only that a relevant Tailscale repo and package be installed. The Tailscale Stable variant is advised but not assumed.
Install Tailscale repo and package¶
From the Tailscale website select:
Downloads -> Linux
Scroll down to the Manually install on selector and choose your “Build on openSUSE” version.
Note
Only steps 1 and 2 are required, Rockstor’s Web-UI can do the rest.
E.g. for “Build on openSUSE” Leap 15.6 you need only do the following at the command line interface:
sudo rpm --import https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/opensuse/leap/15.6/repo.gpg
sudo zypper ar -g -r https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/opensuse/leap/15.6/tailscale.repo
sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper in tailscale
Continue service enablement & configuration via our Web-UI Tailscale service integration.
