On install, I think the instructions are missing a step.

I think the instructions may want a ./Tailscale.sh start

[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Tailscale] # ./tailscale -socket var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock up
failed to connect to local tailscaled; it doesn't appear to be running (sudo systemctl start tailscaled ?)
[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Tailscale] # systemctl start tailscaled
-sh: systemctl: command not found
[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Tailscale] # ./Tailscale.sh
Usage: ./Tailscale.sh {start|stop|restart|remove}
[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Tailscale] # ./Tailscale.sh start
[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Tailscale] # ./tailscale -socket var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock up

Hi @obra - usually QNAP starts the Tailscale service itself after installation. Are you sure that the installation succeeded? Does Tailscale start automatically after QNAP reboot?

At the time it claimed the install succeeded. It does not appear to start cleanly at boot, though. (I can't reboot the device in question often, so wasn't aware of that until this past weekeend.)

Hmm, strange. The package is configured to start automatically. Fact that it works manually indicates that there may be either some configuration which prevents auto-start or there is some race condition. Is there anything particular in your configuration maybe? Have you installed Tailscale as admin or user account?

It is late, but there was a similar problem in #44. When the user installed the QVPN package, the Tailscale package started working. The problem is that on older device/QTS we do not have the necessary kernel module for the Wireguard tunnel to work, but QVPN package installs it. Newer QTS includes it by default.

Could you try installing QVPN package and reporting if it fixed?

I encounter a similar issue:

/tailscale -socket  /tmp/tailscale/tailscaled.sock up

failed to connect to local tailscaled (which appears to be running as tailscaled, pid 6113). Got error: Failed to connect to local Tailscale daemon for /localapi/v0/status; not running? Error: dial unix /tmp/tailscale/tailscaled.sock: connect: no such file or directory

However, when I try to bring tailscale up via Tailscale.sh, I get another error:

./Tailscale.sh: line 18: [: -d: binary operator expected

Changing if [ test -d /proc/${PID}/ ]; then to if [ -d /proc/${PID}/ ]; then in Tailscale.sh resolves that error.

However, the socket is located unter /tmp/tailscale/tailscale.sock instead of the path mentioned in the first comment.

Running

./tailscale -socket /tmp/tailscale/tailscaled.sock up

was then finally successful for me.
