Remote Access to PiAware using Tailscale

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
1

I’m considering setting up a second PiAware at a family members home. I wanted to install tailscale on by current PiAware to test how remote access will work.

I’m running the PiAware image and feeding both Flight Aware and FR 24 with the dump1090-FA feed.

Is installing Tailscale as simple as connecting to my pi via ssh and installing Tailscale with the following command;

curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh

Or is there more to it than that. I wasn’t sure how this would work since I’m running the PiAware image and not the Raspberry PI OS.

Thanks for the support.

Looking at the install script it looks like it should work.
The PiAware image is Raspberry PI OS so the detection mechanism in the script should work just fine. Maybe try it on a spare SD card first.

Thanks, following the directions in the link provided worked perfectly!

I verified that both navigating to the pi’s tailscale address in a browser and via ssh in terminal worked exactly like they do on my local network when remote.
