Unraid + Tailscale

Build No-hassle Virtual Private Networks with Tailscale

Tailscale is a free and open-source service that Unraid is proud to partner with. Create a Tailscale network (tailnet) in minutes, and then securely access your Unraid server, hosted services, and devices from anywhere in the world.

Unraid Partners with Tailscale for Seamless, Secure Networking Solutions

We are thrilled to announce a Technology Alliance Partnership with Tailscale, marking an exciting step forward in secure networking for your Unraid systems.

As part of this partnership, we are collaborating closely with Derek Kaser, the creator of the popular Unraid Tailscale plugin, to fully integrate the plugin into Lime Technology repositories to ensure seamless networking capabilities, effortless installation, and updates and security for our users.

Native Tailscale Certificate Support in Unraid 7

Unraid 7 comes equipped with native Tailscale (ts.net) certificate support, enhancing security while simplifying remote access and the management of your Unraid server.

Tailscale within Docker Containers

Adding Tailscale to individual Docker containers on Unraid enables secure, flexible networking by providing unique machine names for each container, allowing container-specific sharing, reverse proxying with valid certificates, VPN routing through Exit Nodes, and secure communication across devices on the Tailnet or regular LAN.

We have ambitious plans to deepen this integration even further in 2025 and beyond. Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and enhance your Unraid experience, leveraging the power of Tailscale to bring you simple, secure, and flexible networking options.

I have loved using unraid for the last three years... No issues, great support, fantastic product. Keep up the good work!

I've been using Unraid for a few years now. I absolutely love it. My girlfriend suggests I love Unraid more than her... she might be right. What I enjoy most is discovering new things I can run on my server, setting them up, then watch as they work flawlessly from then on. It just works.

A testament to quality software systems: I have been running Unraid OS 5.0.4 on my home NAS for the past 9 years without having to do anything other than replace the occasional failing drive. And the array itself was created in 2008!

Let me say it's been so easy and painless to use. For me at least, this is a huge improvement over running the latest Ubuntu server and apt-get'ing packages I use as compared to VM's, Docker and unraid updates.

I would tell anyone on the fence about spending $ for unraid to just do it! You won't regret it.

Just installed unraid and now I understand why so many ppl love it.

The best purchase I have made in 30 years of computing. Nothing even comes close in terms of use/value for money.....

In a nutshell, our CUI network showcases a secure, scalable setup with UNRAID playing a key role in ensuring data integrity and operational efficiency. As we move forward, leveraging UNRAID's capabilities will support our mission and growth.

The biggest problem with unRAID is that I didn't discover it years before I started using it.

I went around different operating systems for years trying to make the perfect home server. Windows was a bust. Ubuntu didnt have the right stuff i wanted. Unraid with parity and docker containers and VMs is perfect. I have used Unraid for just over a year and im super impressed with its flexability. There is no better OS

I've always wanted to have my own media library for my home theater and a gaming PC that both a friend and I could use at the same time. I now run a modest Plex server and multiple other Dockers and recently just built a "2 Gamers, 1 CPU" style rig for gaming. Unraid has made it possible for me to achieve both of these goals. Thank you!!

Happy Unraid user of about 3 years or so, and I'm on my second build now (with build #3 in the next 12 months). Unraid allowed me to consolidate a bunch of separate machines with separate storage into a single more easily managed system. It also lowered the barrier to entry to technologies like virtualisation, docker and just linux in general.

Have been a paid user for almost 9 years (2010).

The best thing I like about unRAID is that I forget it is there 😊 although I like tinkering I only need to when I want and have time and not when the server asks for help - which it doesn't !!!

Keep up the wonderful work.

Wow, what is not to like? Reliability, flexibility, and amazing support. My unRAID server has been one of the best things I have ever built for my home.

I've gotta say, unRAID has been one of the best purchases I've ever made. The level of support, the community, the expanding capabilities, the attention to detail - for something I bought almost a decade ago is really stunning.

I recommend it to everyone who'll listen.

Unraid has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to managing my home tech infrastructure. I’ve consolidated so much into one system it’s not even funny. And the support you guys give to your users is unreal.

Great OS. The flexibility and ease of expansion made Unraid the choice for me. I have converted 3 people at my work so far this year. Couldn't ask for a more supportive community!
