Does anyone know if there is a way to make MagicDNS work when installing Tailscale using this method? I ran tailscale up with --accept-dns, but I don't seem to be able to resolve MagicDNS hostnames.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make MagicDNS work when installing Tailscale using this method? I ran tailscale up with --accept-dns, but I don't seem to be able to resolve MagicDNS hostnames.

I haven’t been able to get this to work either, haven’t figured out why yet.

First, make sure MagicDNS is enabled over at https://login.tailscale.com/admin/dns.
Other than that, I don't do anything special. /etc/resolv.conf should show 100.100.100.100 after connecting to Tailscale.

You can try dig +short <node>.<tailnet>.ts.net @100.100.100.100 to query the nameserver directly.

@shayne Thanks for the reply. After further investigation, /etc/resolv.conf does show 100.100.100.100, and MagicDNS works, immediately after rebooting the Unraid server. However, after some time, it gets modified to 8.8.8.8, and MagicDNS stops working. So unfortunately I think this may be a case of tailscale/tailscale#2334.

This is what was in my /etc/resolv.conf after it got overwritten:

# Generated by dhcpcd from br0.dhcp
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Hello,

I'm trying to run the User Script but cant get it to write the file.

curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination

Maybe I'm just not doing something in the right order?

Any help would be appreciated

@SC8198 does the folder /boot/config/tailscale/ exist?

Wow, I feel dumb.

Made the directory and it grabbed it,
It looks like it didn't make the install.sh and the start.sh files.

When I run the Unraid set up script I get

bash: /boot/config/tailscale/install.sh: No such file or directory bash: /boot/config/tailscale/start.sh: No such file or directory

Do I have to manually make those files?

I do see tailscale and tailscaled in the correct folders

@SC8198

Do I have to manually make those files?

yes you have to make those files. The files are at the top of the gist.

Nevermind I got the interface up. All good to go!

Sorry if that is the wrong place to ask but I am hoping that you might have the answer. Until yesterday, i was able to reach all the my docker apps/containers locally via the tailscale ip or the forwarded route (unraid local IP) and the corresponding port. However, today, apps that do not allow internet access (like sabnzbd) are locking me out like I am connecting from the internet.

Do you have any idea what could cause that? Thanks in advance.

Everyone should switch to using

😄

Edit: fixed link

I moved away from the docker tailscale specifically because I once turned off docker in the unraid settings and was locked out until I got home a few days later.
I'm now using this tailscale plugin for unraid instead

I think @shayne meant https://github.com/dkaser/unraid-tailscale

That’s the plug-in :)
