Setting up Tailscale on Arch Linux
Tailscale can run on Arch Linux (64-bit x86 only). See archlinux.org for more info.
-
Install Tailscale on Arch Linux:
pacman -S tailscale
-
Use
systemctl
to enable and start the service:sudo systemctl enable --now tailscaled
-
Connect your machine to your Tailscale network and authenticate in your browser:
sudo tailscale up
-
You’re connected! You can find your Tailscale IPv4 address by running:
tailscale ip -4
If the device you added is a server or remotely-accessed device, you may want to consider disabling key expiry to prevent the need to periodically re-authenticate.
