Hi there, i having some issue here while installing using sudo bash tailscale.sh

(1)(deck@steamdeck ~)$ cd /home/deck/Downloads/deck-tailscale-main/
(deck@steamdeck deck-tailscale-main)$ sudo bash tailscale.sh
[sudo] password for deck:
Getting version...got 1.56.1.
Downloading...

here is my log above showing in the Konsole. The Downloading... is stuck for quite long time.

also i did not clone this repo, i just downloaded all those 4 files into zip file and extract to a folder. I cd into that folder and run sudo bash tailscale.sh

i am not sure why is not downloading after waiting for 15mins

also previously did found someone online github have a flatpak for tailscale on steamdeck, i might installed that as well that causes this installation to fail. but i am not sure how to remove them

What happens if you try this command?

curl -s "https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/tailscale_1.56.1_amd64.tgz" -o tailscale.tgz

for some reason, i tried again and manage to install it but i went to that part where it suppose to generate a QR code? i type in that command
sudo tailscale up --qr --operator=deck --ssh in Konsole but nothing shows up

alright, so the install script ran? I'm not sure if the new method updates your PATH; @diericx can you help?

I've had the download hang before as well. I thought I was getting rate limited but maybe not.

If truly nothing shows up it communicates to me that the binary is found but maybe the command is failing. If the binary was not in the path you would get command not found error message. If you have two installations it may be that the daemons are colliding.

Can you run the following commands and provide the output? I will provide my intentions behind each one for context.

  1. Find path of the tailscale tool
which tailscale
  1. Check the status of the tailscale daemon (will not work if the command above failed)
tailscale status
  1. Check tailscaled systemd service for any errors
sudo systemctl status tailscaled

I had this exact same issue. I tried curl -s like it is in the script and it hung for a long time. I tried wget and got it to work well. So I then used set -x so I could track what was happening and ran watch -n.1 -- du "${tmp}/*.tgz" and I realized that it was downloading comically slow for some reason. I tested it and it seems inconsistent in regards to speed.

perhaps leaving out the --silent flag on curl, or using wget for the progress bar, could be helpful in letting users know that something is indeed happening or whether it is hanging up.
