TS-212-E "failed to connect to local tailscaled;"

[Amorget]

I installed Tailscale on my TS-212-E. I was able to successfully install it on my TS-253-D so I had an idea what to do.

Installed the ARM-x19 package, which according to the log installed and started, Type Date Time Users Source IP Computer name Content Information 2022/08/11 19:41:21 System 127.0.0.1 localhost [App Center] Installed Tailscale v1.28.0 in /share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/Tailscale. Information 2022/08/11 19:41:33 System 127.0.0.1 localhost [App Center] Enabled Tailscale.

However when attempting the up I am getting this:

<scale] # ./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 ?)

Tried rebooting the NAS but that made no difference.

I am a bit lost as to where to go from here.

Strange, seems related to #43. As it is already a second report with same symptoms, then it may be something systematic with QNAP. Are you able to manually start tailscale with ./Tailscale.sh start in the package directory?

[Amorget]

It doesn't seem like it

[/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/Tailscale] # ./Tailscale.sh start <lscale -socket var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock up
failed to connect to local tailscaled; it doesn't appear to be running (sudo systemctl start tailscaled ?)

It pauses for a couple seconds after the start command but it doesn't seem to start, but no error either.

[ivokub]

Hmm. The startup script writes logs to /dev/null (I hadn't figured out a good place to write the logs) and we don't see if the daemon fails. Can you try in the package directory:

./tailscaled --port 41641 --state=var/lib/tailscale/tailscaled.state --socket=var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock

Does it error?

[Amorget]

It does error

OK, I see. Can you try installing the official QVPN app from the app store? I think it should install the tun module. Just installing it should be sufficient, no need to configure or run it.

It is not required for the latest QTS (see #22), but I guess is necessary for older versions.

[Amorget]

That fixed it.

My QTS version is 4.3.3.2057, in case that helps anyone in the future. The 212 isn't supported by the newer versions so that's as updated as it gets from a major release perspective.

Just wanted to report that the same issue happened to my on a TS-412 model with Tailscale_v1.30.1_arm-x19.qpkg and suggested workaround of installing QVPN fixed the issue. Thanks for creating this application. 🔥
