Setting up Tailscale on CentOS Stream 9
Packages are available for x86 and ARM CPUs, in both 32-bit and 64-bit variants.
-
Add the Tailscale repository and install Tailscale
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/centos/9/tailscale.repo sudo dnf install tailscale
-
Use
systemctl
to enable and start the servicesudo systemctl enable --now tailscaled
-
Authenticate and connect your machine to your Tailscale network
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.
To try upcoming Tailscale features, you can also install Tailscale from the unstable track. However, as the name suggests, you should expect more bugs and unfinished features on that track.
