Setting up Tailscale on CentOS 7

Packages are available for x86 and ARM CPUs, in both 32-bit and 64-bit variants.

1. Install the Yum repository manager:

   sudo yum install yum-utils
   

2. Add the Tailscale repository and install Tailscale:

   sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/centos/7/tailscale.repo
   sudo yum install tailscale
   

3. Use systemctl to enable and start the service:

   sudo systemctl enable --now tailscaled
   

4. Connect your machine to your Tailscale network and authenticate in your browser:

   sudo tailscale up
   

5. 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.
