Confinement

over the tailscale network will not work if tailscale ssh mode is enabled (ie. if you have configured tailscale set --ssh
). To fix this, disable tailscale ssh: tailscale set --ssh=false
.tailscale update
will not work: to update tailscale, please refresh the snap.tailscale file cp
and tailscale cert
will only work with file paths accessible to the snap, for example /home/ubuntu/snap/tailscale/common/foo.txt
. See https://snapcraft.io/docs/data-locations for a full list of paths.tailscale drive share
will not work (the client command succeeds, the share is registered, but you will see errors in tailscaled logs and the share will not be accessible).Security
See https://github.com/canonical/tailscale-snap/blob/main/docs/security-reference.md for security and hardening documentation.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install tailscale, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install tailscale
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
