Build No-hassle Virtual Private Networks with Tailscale
Tailscale is a free and open-source service that Unraid is proud to partner with. Create a Tailscale network (tailnet) in minutes, and then securely access your Unraid server, hosted services, and devices from anywhere in the world.
Unraid Partners with Tailscale for Seamless, Secure Networking Solutions
We are thrilled to announce a Technology Alliance Partnership with Tailscale, marking an exciting step forward in secure networking for your Unraid systems.
As part of this partnership, we are collaborating closely with Derek Kaser, the creator of the popular Unraid Tailscale plugin, to fully integrate the plugin into Lime Technology repositories to ensure seamless networking capabilities, effortless installation, and updates and security for our users.
Native Tailscale Certificate Support in Unraid 7
Unraid 7 comes equipped with native Tailscale (ts.net) certificate support, enhancing security while simplifying remote access and the management of your Unraid server.
Future Plans: Docker Containers, Remote Shares, and More
We have ambitious plans to deepen this integration even further in 2024 and 2025:
- Tailscale within Docker Containers: Adding Tailscale to individual Docker containers on Unraid enables secure, flexible networking by providing unique machine names for each container, allowing container-specific sharing, reverse proxying with valid certificates, VPN routing through Exit Nodes, and secure communication across devices on the Tailnet or regular LAN.
- Remote Shares via Tailscale: Securely access your Unraid shares remotely and securely share specific Unraid shares with friends over SMB/NFS using a Docker container while avoiding sharing the entire server and all services.
Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and enhance your Unraid experience, leveraging the power of Tailscale to bring you simple, secure, and flexible networking options.
