Ubuntu casaos install seems to be working fine. I am trying to install Tailscale via the custom install. I have followed a couple of different tutorials that are pretty old, tried the docker command lines from the Tailscale site, and fiddled with the settings. I always get the "unable to get image...." error message and it will not install. Can I install Tailscale on the root Ubuntu outside of cassos and have it work with casaos? Are there updated instructions somewhere? As an aside for this, I cannot get into the Terminal login inside casaos due to all logins that I know of fail. I have seen some solutions to this but they do not work as well... I am on the v.4.6 of casaos. Any help is appreciated.

I have tried this... I am completely unable to get the Terminal login to work. I have tried casaos, casaos; my casaos admin password; my Ubuntu root user and pw; and none of them work so i cannot complete the setup.
I even reset my Ubuntu root password in case that was the user/pw combo... no luck. Is there a way to reset the Terminal user/pw combo?

Aha... I have found that the ssh server was not installed on the default Ubuntu install. After $sudo apt-get install openssh-server The terminal now opens

Thanks for the nudge and previous help. I will now try the Tailscale install

I was able to get Tailscale installed on my server and my phone. However, the last few steps in the above video are very unclear. I am not able to access the casaos from my phone from 4G. It works fine when I am on my home network. There must be a couple of additional steps to complete the use.

GG @crisp walrus, you just advanced to level 2!

In the last part of the video, you seem to be using the cursor to go to the top of a window to reveal the settings for Tailscale within the casaos window. I do not see how to do this. I cannot see the Tailscale client settings anywhere on the casaos server. The machine does show up in the Tailscale admin console window and shows as running. There must be something I am doing wrong to not see the Tailscale client settings.

After adding a subnet routing and broadcasting the cassaos IP on the casaos Tailscale, I can now put in my casaos IP and get to casaos. This appears to be different from what is in your video. This is on Ubuntu and a Thinkpad laptop.
