A shell-based package that installs Tailscale on low-powered OpenWRT routers by downloading static binaries to /tmp and providing an init.d service script. It enables boot-time startup of tailscaled on devices with limited storage.
Use cases
- run tailscale on an openwrt router
- set up a mesh vpn on low-powered router hardware
- advertise subnet routes from openwrt via tailscale
- enable tailscale to start at boot on a router
- install tailscale on a router without enough flash storage
When to choose
- you run OpenWRT on a router with limited storage and want Tailscale
- you want subnet routing or exit-node capability from your router
- you need a lightweight, script-based install without building packages
When to avoid
- you need Tailscale on a full Linux server or desktop (use official packages)
- your router lacks ~27 MB of free /tmp RAM space
- you need persistent binary storage across reboots without re-downloading
