Remote access issue.
I’m trying to setup remote access to my Home Assistant Green by the use of the Tailscale add-on.
On a PC on the same subnet as HomeAssistant Green, I’m logged in to home assistant Green. When I go to Settings/Add-ons/Tailscale and click START, I see on my phone’s Tailscale app that my homeassistant is Connected (green dot). Approximately 10 to 15 sec. later in the app, homeassistant is Not connected (grey dot). Back on the PC, in Home Assistant Tailscale is reported to still be running, but it is falsely reporting as ‘running’.
I confirmed that it is not running by clicking on Overview, then clicking on Settings/Add-ons/Tailscale…and I see ‘Add-on is stopped’.
So my Tailscsle addon only runs for 11 to 15 secs. Something is stopping it and the Watchdog is not restarting it.
Tailscale ver. = 0.24.0 and Homeassistant is fully up to date (no updates awaiting install).
Anyone else having this problem?
What’s causing the Tailscale add-on to stop/crash ?
Are there any particular logs I should look at ?
The Tailscale addon log.
I can only upload image files to this chat :-/
I tried pasting the log file’s contents but it complains that what I pasted has more than 2 links :-/
I have solved the problem.
History (before problem):
I wanted to setup remote access so I followed a youtube video titled ‘Remotely access Home Assistant via Tailscale for free!’. The video was created by ‘Tailscale’. In the video it instructs to install Add-on ‘Studio Code Server’.
Solution:
When I uninstalled ‘Studio Code Server’ and undid associated configuration steps, the Tailscale add-on stopped crashing.
Cause:
‘Studio Code Server’
