How to persist openwrt-tailscale-enabler #57

This script downloads tailscale to /tmp directory, which is in memory. This is a solution for small flash or read-only flash devices. So after reboot you need to re-download tailscale.

If the device has enough storage space, you can change the download path to /root/ or somewhere else to avoid re-downloading every time you restart.

Check /usr/bin/tailscale and /usr/bin/tailscaled, replace the path /tmp with /root/tailscale or other path, restart the device, and manually start the script again. Tailscale will be downloaded to the ROM and automatically enabled after restart.

If you have enough space, please use the official opkg package: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/tailscale/start
