To access Unraid resources, install the Tailscale plugin instead.

This container provides Tailscale for use as a sidecar for Docker containers connected to ipvlan (e.g., br0) networks, or for use with node sharing.

Important Information

This container is only intended for advanced networking configurations, so it is expected that you know what you are doing.

Support will not be provided for using this container to access Unraid resources (WebGUI, shares, etc.).

State Configuration

This container can be configured as either an ephemeral or persistent node.

To create a persistent node:

1. (Optional) Generate an authentication key in the Tailscale admin console.
2. Set Hostname, State Storage, and (if applicable) Authentication Key in the container configuration.
3. If you did not set an authentication key, open the container logs to obtain the login URL to join the node to your tailnet. Caution: If you use this method, you must complete the login within 60 seconds of the container starting.

To create an ephemeral node:

1. Generate an ephemeral authentication key in the Tailscale admin console.
2. Set Hostname and Authentication Key in the container configuration. Leave State Storage blank.
