Issue description

I've followed the guide (both a docker & regular one) but as soon as I try to connect with the tailscale client, it fails.

I've tried:

tailscale up --login-server https://my-external-url-behind-a-reverse-proxy

And also

tailscale up --login-server http://192.168.50.2:8082

But both give me this error:

failed to connect to local tailscaled; it doesn't appear to be running (sudo systemctl start tailscaled ?)

When I download this page with curl, I don't get any errors. Just a blank output.
There's nothing in the headscale logs.

Context info

  • Version of headscale used: v0.16.4 (in docker) and v0.17 alpha (not in docker)
  • Version of tailscale client: 1.30.0
  • OS (e.g. Linux, Mac, Cygwin, WSL, etc.) and version: Arch linux
  • Kernel version: 5.19.6

Is your issue isolated to just Arch clients? Can or have you tested connectivity with any other clients from other OS Distro's like Windows or debian/ubuntu etc..? Process of elimination.

Er... silly question, but tailscaled IS running, right?

What's the output of sudo systemctl status tailscaled?

@ripdog Ah... Well that's not a stupid question at all.
I totally thought it was referring to the headscale server.
