Finally Tailscale has landed in Dappnode.

It isn't part of the main remote connections yet, as it requires users to have a tailscale account, but if you configure it it might give you a much more reliable way to access your Dappnode.

Here's how to do it:

You need a tailscale account, so create one first. 

Then you'll need to create an Auth Key that you'll use when installing the package.

On the Dappstore, find the Tailscale package and click "Get".

You will be asked to introduce the key you got in the post above

Now you will go to Tailscale's dashboard and will configure tailscale to "accept advertised routes" which basically means to get the plumbing done to reach the UIs that dappnode will give you via Tailscale:

Go to the machines menu and follow these numbers:

Finally, go to the tailscale DNS tab, find the Nameservers section, click on "Add nameserver" and add a custom nameserver.

• Nameserver IP: 172.33.1.2
• Activate "Restrict to domain" switch.
• Set the domain as dappnode (can be whatever)

Then, from your laptop / phone, install Tailscale there and connect to your tailnet:

This will help enormously people who are behind a CGNAT, Starlink or other different types of connections

For now there's a bit of manual configuration involved, but we're exploring spinning up our own instance of Headscale to handle everything in-house and automagically.

Go test it NOW and let me know how it works for you!
