Zero config VPN for building secure networks.

This is a fork of the community app!

Changes compared to the community app

• Release pending changes from community app
  • Handle IPv6-only tailnets
  • Properly handle S6 service readiness notifications
  • Use a 5s startup healthcheck interval
• Release unmerged changes from community app
  • Make Tailscale SSH configurable
  • Make ha cli available in Tailscale SSH sessions (within bash shell with banner and completion)
  • Support Supervised installations
  • Create persistent notification also (not just log warning) when key expiration or invalid networking DNS settings are detected
  • Optionally copy Tailscale Serve's certificate files to /ssl folder
  • Make DSCP configurable on tailscaled's network traffic
  • Configure log format for the app to be compatible with Tailscale's format

One-click migration from the community app to this fork

• Install the Advanced SSH & Web Terminal app and disable it's protection mode
• Please create a complete system backup before executing this script!
• From the cli execute: curl -s -o /tmp/migrate_from_community_app https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lmagyar/homeassistant-addon-tailscale/refs/heads/main/scripts/migrate_from_community_app && bashio /tmp/migrate_from_community_app

Note:

• This will install the forked version (if not already installed), backup and stop the community version, copy and update the configuration, and (this is the big thing) will also copy the internal state of the app, then start the forked version.
• With copying the app internal state, the new forked app will start up with the exact same state, i.e. with the same tailnet authentication also. So do not remove the current device from Tailscale's admin page, the forked app will jump into it's place.
• And even if you executed previously some tailscale configuration inside the app's container, those settings will be also migrated with the internal state.

Migration log (from the community app to this fork)

Tailscale is a zero config VPN, which installs on any device in minutes, including your Home Assistant instance.

Create a secure network between your servers, computers, and cloud instances. Even when separated by firewalls or subnets, Tailscale just works. Tailscale manages firewall rules for you, and works from anywhere you are.

1. In Home Assistant, go to Settings -> Apps -> Install app.
2. In the ... menu at the top right corner click Repositories, add https://github.com/lmagyar/homeassistant-addon-tailscale as repository.
3. Find the "Tailscale with features" app and click it. If it doesn't show up, wait until HA refreshes the information about the app, or click Check for updates in the ... menu at the top right corner.
4. Click the "INSTALL" button.

For more details, please see the app's Documentation pages.
