My tailscale is stuck on “Starting…”
when i look at my docker container, this is the message I get. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Can you please try to uninstall and reinstall the Tailscale app, and let me know if that works?

I am having the same issue when using tailscale to access my node remotely over clearnet. Let me know if you figure it out. I am able to access my node with Zeus on my mobile using Tailscale.

Since the tor service seemed to be the issue, I tried turning off Tor access and rebooting my Umbrel

However, I still have the same issue of not being able to access the app, this is the logs for tailscale_web_1: @usernameisJim

UPDATE:

I solved it, here were my steps:

1.) Uninstall Tailscale
2.) In the Umbrel Settings, turn off Remote Tor access- let the Umbrel fully reboot
3.) Reinstall Tailscale
4.) On a device connected to the same network as the Umbrel, SSH into the device
5.) sudo ufw 8240

The app should then become accessible.
