Access you batocera machine from anywhere in the world or use it as a vpn server.
Run Tailscale in batocera with Subnet, Accept Routes and Exit node. Tailscale starts at boot.
Step 1: Login into your batocera machine via ssh.
Batocera comes with pre-enabled ssh, login using (username:root and password:linux).
Step 2: run this script for auto-installation.
This script will auto select your machine's architecture to download specific tailscale files and your subnet/cidr so you can access other machines if you route them to your batocera machine.
If you want only subnet to then use below script.
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codecs02-marcher/batocera-tailscale/refs/heads/main/install.sh | bash
If you want exit node and subnet to then use this script.
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codecs02-marcher/batocera-tailscale/refs/heads/main/install_exit_node.sh | bash
Step 3: Login to your tailscale with the given link and activate your batocera machine.
Step 4: Go to "Admin console" of tailscale and approve the newly added machine.
After Approval check tailscale IP in your machine.
ip a
you must have tailscale ip in the list
Refresh tailscale admin console page and you'll find subnet(script 1) and exit node(script2) waiting to be approved, approve them as per your liking.
You should also disable key expiry using tailscale admin console in machine settings.
now you can access your rom files, copy/paste/delete, ssh, route your entire network or use your batocera machine as a vpn server when you are out if you have tailscale running in the remote computer/device using same tailscale account or by sharing your machine to your friends who has a tailscale account with every reboot.
Whenever you feel like you want to keep tailscale logged in but don't really wanna use it for now.
