Head to your TrueNAS dashboard and visit `System/Tunables` 2. Add a new Tunable with the following settings: - Variable: `tailscaled_enable` - Value: `YES` - Type: `rc.conf` - Enabled: checked 3. Click save 4. Open a shell 5. Run the following commands to enable the `pkg` command and install tailscale: ``` sed 's/enabled: yes/enabled: no/' /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/local.conf sed 's/enabled: no/enabled: yes/' /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf pkg install tailscale ``` 6. Start the Tailscale daemon and make sure it starts on reboots: ``` service tailscaled enable service tailscaled start ``` 7. Login to Tailscale ``` tailscale up ``` Congratulations, you should now have Tailscale installed!
