I just updated Umbrel to latest version 0.4.14 and wanted to test Tailscale. I have a NUC with DebianOS (not UmbrelOS on Raspi). Installation went smooth, tailscale installed, but is never ending “starting”. I used months ago Tailscale on my Umbrel but installed as a separate app. Worked, tested but then I remove it. Now I see it in Umbrel app and wanted to give it a try again. Here are some logs of Tails: ```auto web_1 | logpolicy.Read /var/lib/tailscale/tailscaled.log.conf: open /var/lib/tailscale/tailscaled.log.conf: no such file or directory web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 wgengine.NewUserspaceEngine(tun "userspace-networking") ... web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 dns: using dns.noopManager web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 link state: interfaces.State{defaultRoute=enp3s0 ifs={br-7c19b0686c1e:[10.21.21.1/24] docker0:[172.17.0.1/16] enp3s0:[192.168.1.5/24]} v4=true v6=false} web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 magicsock: disco key = d:57c6196715723942 web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 Creating wireguard device... web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 Bringing wireguard device up... web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 Bringing router up... web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 Clearing router settings... web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 Starting link monitor... web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 Engine created. web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 logtail: dialed "log.tailscale.io:443" in 219ms web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 netmap packet filter: (not ready yet) web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 Start web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 using backend prefs web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 created empty state for "_daemon": Prefs{ra=true dns=true want=false routes=[] nf=on Persist=nil} web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 got initial portlist info in 0s web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 control: HostInfo: {"IPNVersion":"1.20.2-t8e643357d","BackendLogID":"339fc5157a09e0a97e852c7ebca638d7515e54e57756f12bcb24cd4f5a9aefe3","OS":"linux","OSVersion":"Alpine Linux v3.15; kernel=4.19.0-18-amd64; container","Hostname":"node","GoArch":"amd64","Services":[{"Proto":"tcp","Port":22},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":80},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":2100,"Description":"tailscale"},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":3000},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":3001},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":3002},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":3007},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":3008},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":7070},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":7681},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":8008},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":8080},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":8088},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":8089},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":8333},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":8889},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":9735},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":10009},{"Proto":"tcp","Port":50001}]} web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 Backend: logs: be:339fc5157a09e0a97e852c7ebca638d7515e54e57756f12bcb24cd4f5a9aefe3 fe: web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 control: authRoutine: state:new; goal=nil paused=false web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 Switching ipn state NoState -> NeedsLogin (WantRunning=false, nm=false) web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 blockEngineUpdates(true) web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 health("overall"): error: state=NeedsLogin, wantRunning=false web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 control: mapRoutine: state:new web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 wgengine: Reconfig: configuring userspace wireguard config (with 0/0 peers) web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 wgengine: Reconfig: configuring router web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 wgengine: Reconfig: configuring DNS web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 dns: Set: {DefaultResolvers:[] Routes:{} SearchDomains:[] Hosts:0} web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 dns: Resolvercfg: {Routes:{} Hosts:0 LocalDomains:[]} web_1 | 2022/02/10 11:14:24 dns: OScfg: {Nameservers:[] SearchDomains:[] MatchDomains:[]} ``` @mayank or @lukechilds do you think it doesn’t like it my setup or it just hung the docker repository? How could I stop the starting and restart again the tailscale service ? Or only a full restart of the node can fix it? Is it something I missed? ---

It looks like Tailscale is running ok but just the web ui isn’t accessible. Do you have something already running on port 2100 on the host? As a last resort, without access to the web ui you should be able to complete Tailscale setup by running `~/umbrel/scripts/app compose tailscale exec web tailscale up`. I _think_ it’ll dump a URL that you can visit to complete the pairing process. ---

> [@lukechilds](#): > > Do you have something already running on port 2100 on the host? LOL I am such a noob. No it wasn’t anything on that port. But I just added in ufw the port 2100 and now I can open the web on local IP:2100. Is asking to login to Tailscale. So I supposed just using the previous account is just fine and follow the steps. Thanks for the hint. ---

Awesome, glad you got it sorted! ---

BOOOM! Connected! Just tested Zeus to connect to my node using Tailscale VPN IP. Works perfect! Do you think it should work also for other apps like LNbits (yes, I should have the ports open, I suppose)? THIS IS THE WAY! Damn is so simple to connect. ---

Yeah it works for all apps. Even apps we couldn’t connect before over Tor e.g Breez can now use your node as a trrusted Neutrino source. Also, if you enable magic DNS in the Tailscale admin you can refer to your Umbrel by it’s hostname (`umbrel`) instead of it’s Tailscale IP on all your other Tailscale connected devices. ---

I have a private domain and static public IP, maybe I could play with these… interesting.
