UPDATE (13:40 ET / 2024-07-05): Got the connection working via SMB. Literally the only thing I changed was moving to a credentials file rather than specifying credentials inline, so … I’ll be trying to figure out what mystery affliction prevented the connection before. Leaving this up because there are a bunch of great suggestions for troubleshooting this issue in the comments. Thanks everyone.

ORIGINAL POST:

Currently pulling out my hair. I have a Synology NAS with the tailscale service (everything up to date). I have a NixOS client laptop, everything up to date.

I’m simply (?) trying to connect to a share via tailscale, and I have not managed to find anything that works. I’ve been using NFS, but I’m fine with SMB … or carrier pigeons at this point.

Does anyone know of a step by step, detailed, current tutorial to accomplish accessing a Synology share via tailscale on a linux device? I would not have thought this would be challenging!

    I have an off-site Synology that is also killing me trying to get it connected. Did you realize they don’t allow ssh on their VPN service?

      I believe the Synology tailscale client doesn’t support tailscale SSH, but I was able to “classic SSH” into the NAS (remotely, via Tailscale) with no problem.
