Remote acces with Tailscale
Hi everyone,
I’m relatively new to the homelab world, so please bear with me if I ask any basic questions 🙂
Right now, I’m using an old PC running Windows Server, with Jellyfin and Qbittorrent set up. I access these apps remotely through Tailscale so that I just have to enter the local IP of the app in my browser, and I can use them from anywhere without exposing them to the public internet.
Now, I’m trying out Runtipi and set up Tailscale via its app store. However, I’m having trouble accessing the web interface from outside my network. I can’t seem to find much info on this. Is anyone willing to help or point me in the right direction to figure out what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Hey !
I also use tailscale, it's super cool 🙂
In the settings of the app (in Tipi dashboard), have you entered the following parameters ?
- TS_ROUTES (for me it's the subnet of the server, for example 10.10.0.0/16)
- TS_EXTRA_ARGS (not mandatory but I put --advertise-exit-node)
Make sure you approve these changes in tailscale admin dashboard
Thanks for the response! I'm a bit confused about the subnet part (I'm not good with networking at all). I don't seem to be able to find the subnet? Only the IP address
What does the command « ipconfig /all » give as output on your server ?
Sorry for the late responses, I'm having exams right now. 😅 I'm trying this on anohter old PC running Ubuntu, should have said that in my original post.
Wait what? You got tipi running on windows?
Impressive
