I would like to integrate my Start9 server into my Tailscale virtual network. Is this possible? If not, would it be possible to usa a Tailscale server as a proxy for my Start9 server?

Hi, is there something specific you are trying to achieve by doing this?
The short answer is that this will be a lot easier in the upcoming 040 release of StartOS when you can use clearnet, however this topic has been discussed on here so this might help answer your question → Help Needed: Remote Access Issue with Nextcloud via Tailscale in Proxmox VM
I just want easy access to the services of my Start9 from outside my local network. I find the onion option somewhat slow and unreliable. I will experiment with “tailscale up --advertise-routes=” using a Raspi 5 on the same network as the Start9 server. Do I need to set up a reverse proxy too?

I was able to access my Star9 server from my tailnet by adding a Raspi5 on the same subnet, enabling ip forwarding by
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
and then advertise the subnet on tailscale using
tailscale up --advertise-routes=
and then import the subnet at the tailscale admin console.
Now the Start9 main console is available from my tailnet, but not the web based GUIs for the different services. I guess this is a path resolution issue?
Best, Johan
Hello there
These are known limitations of StartOS v0.3.5~1. While you can hack around them to make things work, it’s better to wait for the new release—StartOS 0.4.0—which will offer easy remote access using different types of connections (such as router port forwarding, VPS reverse tunneling, router VPN, etc.). It’s currently in late alpha testing, and a public beta should be announced soon.
I too am wanting to use Tailscale for remote access. Have tried for ages to get it to work with Start. When will we see the latest release? I’m waiting to move over to Start from Umbrel, but want Tailscale to be a part of that move. It works very well with Umbrel.
I’ve been hoping for this too. Did 0.4.0 ever come out? I haven’t been able to access my embassy so I’m guessing it didn’t upgrade on its own and install Tailscale.
I love you guys, or I did. It’s been a while since I’ve had access to my server. Probably over a year. I’m sure there’s some way to do it but I work too much to have time for complex connectivity or remembering onion addresses or how to access tor and wondering if tor is still super slow.
There has to be a way to ssh in and install Tailscale.
Thanks
0.4.0 is on alpha 19. Running well, but not yet ready for production. StartOS will never do automatic updates. That gives others too much control over your server. It’s up to you to decide what version of what software you choose to run.
If you’re having trouble accessing your StartOS server, I’d be happy to help with that. But let’s start a new topic, or better yet come see us for live support
