Tailscale package for Synology NAS

Synology NAS package for Tailscale based on precompiled static binaries.

Disclaimer

You use everything here at your own risk. I am not responsible if this breaks your NAS. Realistically it should not result in data loss or make your NAS unaccessible, but one never knows.

Installation

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 tailscaled should be up and running.
SSH into the machine, and run sudo tailscale up so you can authenticate.

Compatibility list

All models marked as working have been confirmed by users to work. If your model has the same platform as one of the working ones, chances are it will work for you too.

Please note that the package is currently being generated based on Tailscale static binaries, so if your NAS has any of the supported architectures (x86, x86_64, arm, arm64) it should theoretically work.

Making packages

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/nirev/synology-tailscale.git
cd synology-tailscale/
make

If everything worked you should have a directory called spks that contains your SPK files.
