Tailscale

On by default

Your own devices, one private network.

nightdrive plugins install tailscale

A private network between your own devices: reach your home server, NAS or Home Assistant from anywhere, as if you were at home.

  • The icon in the top bar shows whether you're connected. A right click turns Tailscale on or off.
  • Its menu lists this computer and your other devices: a click copies a device's address.
  • The launcher has it too: Settings › Tailscale.

Setting up

Log in once after installing, and let the top bar turn Tailscale on and off without a password:

sudo tailscale up
sudo tailscale set --operator=$USER
