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!

    Then you need to ssh into both devices and confirm they can both ping each other via the tailscale interface as a starter. That will at least shownif you have a routing problem.

      Apologies for the delay. July 4th festivities and rescuing a kitten from a storm drain intervened (upside: we now have a kitten).

      I can ping the NAS from the client on the Tailscale IP (100.x.x.x) and the tailscale hostname. If I SSH to the NAS, I cannot ping the client machine, but everything on the NAS is available from the client other than the NFS share (and I think I remember reading that the Synology tailscale client does not support ping).

      I realize we’re sort of narrowing in on an NFS setting or possibly a firewall setting, and I appreciate your patience in going on this journey with me, but I have configured both according to, most relevantly, the tailscale documentation for connecting to a Synology NAS.
