Hi,
how can I update tailscale on my Cerbo?
Victron is working on a complete tailscale integration but it is not ready yet. Currently, there is no tailscale in the native Venus OS firmware. There are menus in the New UI however there is no backend.
I have a package to add tailscale however there is no way to update the tailscale components. I need to build a new version of my package.
The package:
available via SetupHelper/PackageManager
TailscaleGX v2.0 includes a special build of tailscale version is 1.82 which minimizes the size files.
I appears v1.82 is the most stable version of tailscale. v1.83 is currently under development but I thought it best to stick with stable versions.
‘buildTailscaleForArm’ is a script I use to build tailscale. You could clone the v1.83 tailscale from GitHub and build it yourself using the information contained in that script.
TailscaleGX has two services that manage tailscale. These expect the tailscale binaries to be in /data/TailscaleGX but the Python code for these could be modified and then you could install tailscale from their web site (maybe).
Hi Kevin .. Just Woundering… why do you want to use Tailscale on V GX devices? I have Tailscale on my RV home assistant pi for free internetaccessability.
It makes it possible to access the GX device behind a firewall or router. I know there are other options for access to LAN devices behind a router but this was something others came up with. I just put a wrapper around it.
I used it quite a bit to access the local GUI without going through VRM, and also to ssh into the device
Hi Mattias,
I don’t have any RasPi nor other devices, just Cerbo and mobile Router.
So tailscale is needed to access it from everywhere incl. ssh.
Sure, you can have another device as edge and from there connect to your network, but with my setup, not possible.
@kwindrem thank you for your expalnation
