tailscaled doesn't start automatically
hypevhs opened this issue · 2 comments
tailscaled.service lives in the system extension. The unit is WantedBy=multi-user.target, and is enabled.
On reboot, even though the system extension gets merged automatically (by systemd-sysext.service probably?), I still have to sudo systemctl start tailscaled.service manually every time.
What installation method did you follow? Are you still based off the original blog post?
tailscaled.service should not live in the system extension. It should be in /etc/systemd/system. There's an order to how the system starts up and by the time the extension is loaded, systemd has already tried and failed to find the service file.
If you want to continue using the system extension method, clone the repo to your deck, checkout the branch as-system-extension, and run the tailscale.sh install script.
There's a new installation method on the main branch that avoids system extensions. If you want to switch to using that, clone the repo and run the tailscale.sh script on the main branch.
You're right, I was still based off the original blog post. Sorry, must have misremembered.
I saw some logic in that script that would handle cleaning up legacy installs, so I followed the readme.
I ran into the "flag -port: can't be the empty string" issue, so I deleted it manually then reinstalled. It said it wanted to make a backup of the override (even though the contents were the same) so I deleted the backup manually.
Paper cut bugs aside, it seems to be working! Thank you.
