#tailscale

24 posts23 participants0 posts today

The more I roam around the internet, the more I actually want to set up something like #Tailscale; it seems so useful and cool. But even if I wanted to do it on this random family network, I'd still need a home server, and I'm already raging at my generic VPS, so no idea if that's seriously a good idea.

I finally have a working NextCloud on my home server with Tailscale. Took a while to get it working but.. Now I can access it via local hostname in my home network and from outside as well. Keeping it open to the whole world via 443 was not an option. Very nice.

Hattet Ihr bei #headscale / #tailscale mal das Problem das ssh von Client zu Client nicht (mehr) geht? Das timed bei mir aus, obwohl beide Clients laut Server an Tailnet verbunden sind. Beides Linux, ssh sollte tun, timed aber aus. Any ideas?

@tailscale Love that I can be at a coffee house with open wifi and feel much more secure using an exit node to inside my network to help keep me safe. :game_heart:

#Tailscale is one of my favorite pieces of tech. (it's also really awesome that they provide such a robust free tier!) :game_heart:

So does anyone here run #NextCloud using #TailScale exclusively? I only plan to use it on my devices, so the insistence on having a real domain has always tripped me up when I think about deploying it.

Alternately, are there any happy #Seafile users?

What I'm after is a Dropbox replacement. Everything else is gravy, and likely something I would want to handle with a dedicated app of its own. #SyncThing also might work. The NextCloud attempt to match Google by feature is just a mess.

Would like to compare notes with anyone who is actively getting Dropbox-like functionality in a #SelfHosted way.

I'm curious, other users of #Tailscale; if you run Headscale as your control plane... where do you host it? Do you punch a port through your firewall and use DDNS? Do you host it outside your network on a VPS?

Currently everything I connect to on my homelab is accessed via Tailscale... which is a circular dependency if I pivot to Headscale.

(not planning on it right now, but hoping to understand how others use it)

If you have used and loved #Tailscale, and you still like the product but want a sensible insurance option to reduce your exposure to potential #enshittification, what *hosted* options have you looked at as alternatives?

Part of the appeal of #Tailscale for me at least was that they provided a really thoughtful UX layer over some existing cool OSS tech like #wireguard.

Also, many of us have tried self-hosting and want to minimise what they self host if at all possible.
