Synology NAS package for Tailscale based on precompiled static binaries.
You use everything here at your own risk. Make sure you have other network paths to your NAS before installing this, in case something goes wrong.
Check the releases page for SPKs for your platform. If there is no SPK you have to compile it yourself using the instructions below.
- In the Synology DSM web admin UI, open the Package Center.
- Press the Manual install button and provide the SPK file.
- Follow the wizard until done.
- At this point
tailscaledshould be up and running. - SSH into the machine, and run
sudo tailscale upso you can authenticate.
The current package is confirmed to be working in different Synology models and architectures.
The package is created based on Tailscale static binaries, and if your NAS has any of the supported architectures (x86, x86_64, arm, arm64) it should just work.
If in doubt, check the synology model list for the matching architecture.
This project builds Synology packages "by hand", based on pre-compiled tailscale static binaries.
You can build the packages using make
git clone https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-synology.git
cd tailscale-synology/
makeIf everything worked you should have a directory called spks that contains your SPK files.
