Just built my first TrueNAS Scale box and your videos have been absolutely fantastic for Tailscale and all the other setup tasks. You're amazing Tom!

[DragonReborn]

Just finished setting this up, got access to my whole home network through my mobile now. Glad i got unlimited data! Not much need for guacamole. I can close that port down now. Thanks Tom!

[moa]

Literally been putting off trying to install tailscale in case you did a video on it. Such a relief 🤩

[ExploitedShells]

Love your videos, Tom. A week ago I downloaded your whole pfSense playlist for emergency offline use and some other videos, thank you for the great guides. Appreciate you!

[realcameron]

spent several hours a week ago trying to make this work and then gave up, just for this to show up in my feed! Thank you much

You can uncheck userspace while setting up tailscale and this will open tailscale to truenas environment, showing up in networks so you can do replications.

Awesome video!

Also, I don't know if someone else has posted this (and its a hack, so know what you're doing when you do it) but if you need to access the TrueNAS dashboard via tailscale (instead of using it as a subnet router) then you can just check the "Host Network" box under the Network Configuration section.
tl;dr: the container has access to the same networking your TrueNAS has.

Be very careful with this though, and understand what this will do before you do it in production 😅. This effectively gives the tailscale container the same networking capabilities as your TrueNAS host.

I love how the caveat for replication was at the end of the video. I installed Tailscale for that exact purpose lol. Good news is, your instructions were easy to follow.

[rhb.digital]

must admit... I just love Tailscale... crazy its free too with 100 devices

[rebelangel]

Where was this video yesterday when I was setting up tailscale on my parents truenas scale server to connect it to my pfsense box 😅. Thanks Tom very informative video gonna have to change a few things now when I next go to my parents.

Hello, I followed your steps, but my TrueNAS isn't showing on Tailscale devices..

[dozerd]

This was still really useful, but can you provide an updated video for True-NAS Electric Eel? The interface and deployment has changed considerable on the TrueNAS Scale side of things...

[joshua]

Thank you for this video, just built my first home server and was quite lost!

[nicolofragile]

Hi, I followed the procedure, the app remains in deploying mode, maybe I need to open some ports on my router?

[trippvanmunch]

I have followed this guide and got everything set up, but how do I actually use it? How can I access anything remotely?

[glennharrold]

Followed your video and got tailscale connected to my server. Tried the Iphone app and for the life of me cant work out why the server is not available. Tailscale and Immich are both running and ready for connections according to the logs in Truenas Scale. obviously its Immich not talking to Tailscale. Ill keep on investigating. Love the simplicity of your videos Tom.

[Billyfelicianojp]

Thank you for the video, but now the only thing we need to know is how to access apps that have ports in truenas with tailscale.. Do you happen to have a video that talks about how to access your truenas apps with tailscale that have ports?

[Thewickedjon]

ty for such a clearly explained video. This is grat stuff for noobs like me lolol now my truenas is on tailscale :D ty sir!!

[kevinghadyani]

I mean, if you make TrueNAS use the Host Networking adapter, then it will make the host accessible.

[TonyBoston]

I might have overlooked or misunderstood that part but is "--accept-routes" not an option? I'd like to get to another subnet from the truenas system.
