Opnsense no longer connects to Tailscale network.
this is from shell in opnsense:
root@OPNsense:~ # tailscale login
Failed to connect to local Tailscale daemon for /localapi/v0/profiles/; not running? Error: dial unix /var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock: connect: no such file or directory
any idea what is causing this?
Educated guess: check if the /var/run/tailscale directory exists. If it doesn't, create it.
root@OPNsense:~ # cd /var/run/tailscale
root@OPNsense:/var/run/tailscale #
So the tailscale service seems not to be running. Is this an OPNsense plugin? Then you should see the state in the services dashboard widget. If it isn't refer to the documentation of whatever it is you installed.
It is the Sheridan Computer plugin in the opnsense repository.
It is stopped in list of services. Hitting start doesn't start it. I will put a comment on the youtube channeln for this plugin.
In the meantime I have ordered new computer for opnsense, this time with two nvme for zfs to support backups. Will get it up an running hopefully with Tailscale and reimage existing machine and build back to mirror the new one.
More information. I cannot upgrade opnsense, it says The release type "opnsense" is not available on this repository.
I uninstalled Tailscale plugin thinking I could reinstall but it says I need to upgrade and that is not happening. I guess my original plan to get new machine up and running and remimage this one is the best.
