Setting Up Tailscale on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal (Aarch64)

Tailscale is available as packages even on the aarch64 platform (RPi and such arm64 platforms).

  1. Add Tailscale’s package signing key and repository

    curl -fsSL https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/ubuntu/focal.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
    curl -fsSL https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/ubuntu/focal.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tailscale.list
  2. Install Tailscale

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install tailscale
  3. Authenticate and connect your machine to your Tailscale network

    sudo tailscale up

    To also expose you local subnet and use this endpoint as a gateway. Use a comma to separate multiple routes.

    sudo tailscale up --advertise-routes=10.0.1.0/24
  4. Visit the admin console and authorize your new endpoint. If you signed in with a @gmail.com address, it is automatically authorized. (Note: You will need to occasionally reauthenticate unless you disable key expiry.)

  5. Obtain your Tailscale IP address

    ip addr show tailscale0
