This repo provides the scripts needed to install and run Tailscale on your UniFi Cloud Gateways. It provides a persistent service, automatic updates, and a default configuration which works well on most UniFi Cloud Gateways out of the box.

Installation

  1. Run the install.sh script to install the latest version of the Tailscale UniFi package on your device.

    # Install the latest version of Tailscale UniFi
    curl -sSLq https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SierraSoftworks/tailscale-unifi/main/install.sh | sh
  2. Run tailscale up to start Tailscale.

  3. Follow the on-screen steps to configure Tailscale and connect it to your network.

  4. Confirm that Tailscale is working by running tailscale status

Updates

In general, Tailscale updates will be automatically downloaded and applied daily by this script. However if you would like to update to the latest version of this script you will need to do the following:

# Install the latest version of Tailscale UniFi
curl -sSLq https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SierraSoftworks/tailscale-unifi/main/install.sh | sh

# Then run the following to complete the update
/data/tailscale/manage.sh install!
