I was fighting one night with Wireguard configuration to no avail... Next day after 15 minutes I had a flawless connection with my Home Assistant - just like that! Amazing job!

Amazing! Nice tutorial.

The way you said "which is the fifth option in this list" made me feel like I had to check your math. It's correct.

Amazing Is it possible to use exit node in my home network on a computer that Tailscale can't be installed?

This video would have saved me a lot of time when I set it up last month! The Tailscale proxy bit doesn’t work however, the add on crashes with an error that the conf file can’t be found.

Feel free to post the log and I’ll have a look. -alex

Im using home assistant on proxmox will this work?

@user-ks8gz8qx3j Ай бұрын

I enjoyed the video as a user of home assistant, tailscale and cloudflare. One issue that keeps me from using tailscale more broadly with home assistant is the tailscale bug when using an iphone connecting to apple carplay. if tailscale is enabled the phone looses connectivity to the internet when connecting to carplay. is this on the roadmap to be addressed?

@user-ks8gz8qx3j 25 күн бұрын

been doing some testing and thrilled that I am no longer having the issue with carplay and tailscale. Thanks Tailscale!

I would like to update my Tailscale to version 1.66 but because I know it solves the security risc found in previous versions. But how?

@thewebart Ай бұрын

Did try it just now and the add-on crashes when I activate Tailscale Proxy. Not sure why.

We saw a few comments from you here, did you get this resolved? - Alex

I'm running HA via a docker container. Is it possible to do this some other way for users like me?

@Tailscale Ай бұрын

Check the previous video on the channel. That’s probably the easiest method for you.

Hello, I managed to install Tailscale and using it successfully as a tunnel for my home assistaint, the thing is that I'm installing both home assistant and Tailscale as a docker containers so not as an add-on and accordingly I can't do the step of enabling Tailscale as a proxy in 5:25, maybe I'm missing something but I need help to set this in docker container implementation Currently I can access home assistant using http but with HTTPs it doesn't reach it.

Soooooo, this is safe? I feel like there must be some kind of catch. This seems to be too good to be true.

When I activate Tailscale Proxy and restart, the addon is blocked and stops. Open WEB UI cannot be opened, the message appears "The add-on seems to not be ready, it might still be starting. Do you want to try again?" and 2 options No and Retry. It only works if I cancel Tasicale Proxy and start.

Looks like you need to turn on HTTPS in the Tailscale admin console.

@thewebart Ай бұрын

@@Tailscale Thanks! This solved the issue.

@jimbrewer5821 Ай бұрын

@@Tailscale Alex, you may want to pin a comment on this required HTTPS setting. I was not able to get the FQDN without port working until I dug into the admin console to enable HTTPS (I'm assuming it's disabled by default). P.S., Thanks for the great informative videos! 🙂
