UPDATE (13:40 ET / 2024-07-05): Got the connection working via SMB. Literally the only thing I changed was moving to a credentials file rather than specifying credentials inline, so … I’ll be trying to figure out what mystery affliction prevented the connection before. Leaving this up because there are a bunch of great suggestions for troubleshooting this issue in the comments. Thanks everyone.

ORIGINAL POST:

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!

    1. I have tried with firewall enabled and disabled (and added the rule for the enabled firewall)
    2. I will check autoblock. That’s one thing I haven’t checked.
    3. I followed the DSM-7 task setup.

    All fantastic suggestions, btw, but my hair-pulling is coming from none of them working (other than autoblock). :)

      Does ping work? Have you validated tailscale?

      Check the iptables on the device.

      If that doesn’t work it’s time to do tcpdumps on the different internal interfaces of the Nas and see where it stops
