Setting up Tailscale on openSUSE Leap 15.6

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

1. Add Tailscale's package signing key and repository:

   sudo rpm --import https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/opensuse/leap/15.6/repo.gpg
   sudo zypper ar -g -r https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/opensuse/leap/15.6/tailscale.repo
   

2. Install Tailscale:

   sudo zypper ref
   sudo zypper in 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.
