    Hi,

    Are there any further instructions made for laypeople on how to install Tailscale? I have successfully done this on another raspberry pi based kvm but the instructions provided contain quite a few assumptions and steps aren’t fully laid out.

    Does someone have a current YouTube video or can walk be through this?

      Hi @wtfkvm, thanks for your question about setting up Tailscale.

      Our blog post guide explains how to set up Tailscale on a TinyPilot device. It should cover everything, but if anything is unclear, please let me know, and I'll be happy to clarify or update the guide. We also have a video tutorial that walks through the same process.

          Let’s pretend like I’ve never used a computer before for simplicity sake.

          Here’s where I am at:

          Tiny pilot is set up.
          I can access host computer they url on local network.
          I have a Tailscale account.
          Tailscale is not installed on the kvm
          Host computer is a PC
          I am remoting in from Mac

          What’s next? Where do I even find the IP address of the device? What computer do I go into the ssh client on to set up Tailscale on the kvm?

          Thank you very much :)

                I was able to get it to work thanks to a 3yr old video some random enthusiast made so call off the dogs....

                Have to say, i went with this device over the competition because i was told this support forum was better than the others discord. Owning both devices and interacting with both support teams, i can confidently say that was not the case at all.
