        Incidentally I installed the Developer Version of Ubunto Touch. Maybe I should try just a docker image? Or obtain the Android APK and install it using Waydroid?

          Enabling snaps and installing the tailscale snap works. But that snap hasn't been updated in a long while, which is not a good thing for a VPN type solution, security-wise.

          Maybe you can express interest in the tailscale snap and the author might be motivated to update it.

            @arubislander Hello,

            I have created a snap called tailscale-snap2, which has the latest version of tailscale. Right now, it can only be installed with --devmode (i may be wrong, i havent installed in a while) and the command "tailscale-snap2" has to be used to interact with the tailscale CLI.

              @thedeafenguy That's great news.

              What is keeping the snap from being able to be strictly confined?

                @thedeafenguy thanks. I accidentally had the idea of installing it as a Snap whilst I was gone and have installed Snap already.

                      @E2024 You will not be able to find it by searching the snap store. You will have to install it from commandline. I am working on a version that may be able to be searched from the snap store right now though. To install from command line, run:
                      sudo snap install tailscale-snap2 --devmode

                      Also note that you will have to use sudo when invoking the command "tailscale-snap2".

                        @thedeafenguy the name of the snap os unfortunate though.

                        Maybe you could get in contact with the tailscale namespace holder and integrate your changes or work togwther somehow?

                          it was working fine, after adding --edge to your command, till I asked about exit nodes

                          "phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo tailscale-snap2 up
                          failed to connect to local tailscaled (which appears to be running as tailscaled, pid 2362). Got error: Failed to connect to local Tailscale daemon for /localapi/v0/status; not running? Error: dial unix /var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock: connect: no such file or directory
                          phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ tailscale-snap2 status
                          ERROR: ld.so: object 'libtls-padding.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (failed to map segment from shared object): ignored.

                          Guessing a 'pid' is not Proportional Integral Derivative like in standard engineering?

                            @E2024 Process ID = PID
                            too late now, but how do I see what the process is up to for next time?

                            or just list current processes so I can see if Daemon listed?

                              @E2024 you can run ps aux or top to see running processes (if that's what you mean). These are standard Linux commands you can look up for their documentation on a search engine.

                              May the source be with you
