Jikespace NAS: Tailscale Deployment Guide

1. Preparation

• Log in to the Tailscale web console.
• Generate an Auth Key:
  • Check Reusable
  • Check Ephemeral
  • Check Pre-approved
• Copy the key beginning with tskey-auth- for the next step.

2. Jikespace Docker Deployment (GUI Method)

Step One: Download the Image

• Open Jikespace Docker → Images → Repository → search tailscale → download tailscale/tailscale.

Step Two: Create and Configure the Container (Critical) Select the image and click "Add Container". Modify these four settings:

1. Volume Path (resolves invalid volume path error):
   • Local path: Create a new folder or select an existing one (e.g., /Docker/tailscale)
   • Mount path: Enter /var/lib/tailscale
2. Network:
   • Set to Host mode (required for gateway functionality).
3. Environment:
   • Variable name: TS_AUTHKEY
   • Variable value: Paste your copied key.
4. Capabilities:
   • Check "Run in privileged mode" (required to start the container).

3. Verification and Advanced Options

• Start the container: Verify the status shows "Running".
• Verify connectivity: Open Tailscale on your phone or computer and check that a new device (e.g., zspace-nas) appears online.
• Advanced configuration (optional):
  • Subnet routing (access other devices on your local network): Add TS_ROUTES=192.168.x.0/24 to Environment, replacing the subnet with your router's network.
  • Key expiration: In the Tailscale web console → Machines → click the three dots next to your device → Disable Key Expiry.
