Tailscale on Proxmox
Your entire proxmox server, and the VMs it manages, can be made accessible over Tailscale. Tailscale is installed on the Proxmox host machine, the server itself, NOT on individual VMs.
See the Tailscale project page to see how to create a Tailscale VPN.
1. Accessing the Terminal
SSH into the proxmox machine, or run the following commands locally. Follow step 7 to do so.
2. Install and Configure Tailscale
- First, run
apt update(sudo not needed as we only have the root user). - Install Tailscale with
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh. Ensure that it installs correctly. If it doesnt, make sure you did step 8 correctly. - Run
sudo tailscale up --advertise-routes=192.168.10.0/24to turn on Tailscale . Tailscale will return a link to sign in to with your Tailscale account on another browser. After signing in, go to the Tailscale Admin Console to approve the route and rename the machine if desired.
The exact route in this last command may differ, specifically the route being advertised. Make sure it matches your LAN subnet. Double check your Tailscale configurations.
The Proxmox server will now be accesible from anywhere via its Tailscale IP address and port 8006.
