This snap provides a simple and secure way to run your own DERP servers to route your tailscale traffic through your own relay servers. Please refer to the upstream documentation for more information: * * * **Usage** Install the snap: ``` sudo snap install derper ``` This installs the DERP server and starts it automatically. You will likely need to configure the service: **Configuration** You can modify configuration options with `sudo snap set`. The following configuration options are currently supported: * `hostname`: LetsEncrypt host name, if addr's (`a`) port is :443. (default if unset: "derp.tailscale.com") * `a`: server HTTP/HTTPS listen address, in form ":port", "ip:port", or for IPv6 "[ip]:port". If the IP is omitted, it defaults to all interfaces. Serves HTTPS if the port is 443 and/or certmode is manual (default certmode is "letsencrypt"), otherwise HTTP. (default if unset: ":443") * `stun-port`: The UDP port on which to serve STUN. The listener is bound to the same IP (if any) as specified in the `a` option. (default if unset: "3478") * `verify-clients`: Verify clients to this DERP server through a local tailscaled instance. Must be "true" or "false". (default if unset: "false") The config options correspond to the similarly named command line flags for `derper`. Options that don't have support to be configured through the snap will be left on their default. See the `derper` command source code at for more technical information on options. Example of setting an option: ``` sudo snap set derper hostname=myderper.mydomain.com ``` To view the available config options and their current values: ``` $ sudo snap get derper Key Value hostname a 127.0.0.1:443 verify-clients false ... ``` Derper must be restarted manually for the changed config to take affect: ``` sudo snap restart derper ``` To run in `verify-clients` mode, the tailscale snap must also be installed, and the two snaps connected over the custom content interface so the control socket is shared: ``` sudo snap install derper sudo snap install tailscale sudo snap connect derper:tailscale-socket tailscale:socket sudo snap set derper verify-clients=true sudo snap restart derper ``` **Security** See for security and hardening documentation.
