I'm having a hard time with tail scale, I have it setup on my windows computer and on my android phone.

I want to be able to connect to the hotspot on my phone and access local resources on my computer. I have tried googling it and I just get a 1000 conflicting statements none of which are of any help.

So far it works fine from my phone to my PC with no issues but when I connect a device to the phone it can't see anything on the local network through that device. The connected device in question is a steamdeck and yes I attempted to install tail scale on the deck which also failed miserably.

I followed this video and at sudo bash tailscale.sh I get no such file or directory but I can see the files in file manager. If I attempt to run it from the folder I get could not find /home/deck/documents/github/deck-tailscale.sh.

I tried this official guide https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale and it fails at step 2 saying there is no such directory but I can navigate directly too it and see the files are there.

I'm so lost, can anyone point me in a direction? the ultimate goal here is to use jellyfin out side of my network on my steam deck and every install guide out there fails. I don't see it in the discovery store and the official git hub desktop app cannot even see the files it just downloaded.

I'm new to linux, I'm lost, and I have no idea whats going on.

The problem is that your phone's hotspot network doesn't advertise routes through the Tailscale tunnel, and the deck doesn't know where it's supposed to send the traffic. I don't know how/if it can be done.

Try this guide on the deck: https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale

That does not work, thats why I came here to ask. It fails at step 2.

Program no worky will not be enough if you want help. What is the exact output when you try to run tailscale.sh?

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I literaly gave the output in my message "no such file or directory"

step one clone repo

step two Run sudo bash tailscale.sh to install Tailscale

result no such file or directory

You should see "Getting version..." right after running the script. Did you cd into the directory where the repository was cloned?

I navigated to the directory and clicked run in konsole. Clicking on deck-tailscale.sh in the directory itself and clicking run in konsole results in it saying could not find /home/deck/documents/github/deck-tailscale.sh.

Something's not right. There shouldn't be a deck-tailscale.sh file. There's supposed to be a directory named deck-tailscale and a tailscale.sh and some other files inside it.

Here's what you do. First, open a terminal like Konsole. Just run the application, don't open it from the file manager. Then run these commands:

git clone https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale
cd deck-tailscale
sudo bash tailscale.sh

Well super that worked! Thanks. Now I just gotta figure out how to configure it.
