> But my old Raspberry Pi was too weak to run it, so I ended up uninstalling it, and unrelatedly my pet project grew out and has its place in the cloud now.

It’s incredible how shitty modern software is that a raspberry pi couldn’t run a basic VPN.

If any tailscale devs see this you should try to reproduce this issue and use it as an opportunity to clean up a bunch of dumb assumptions that likely hurt real users as well, just through less direct means like battery consumption and slower overall performance.




I saw from the comments that they provide smaller binaries, which may have worked on my Raspberry Pi. Maybe I’ll give it a try one day.

i always evaluate TS, the see the enterprisey crap it is and just keep ssh without being brain dead about unix auth and user management.

honestly, not sure what's all the hype. ssh under wg with sane user management and key distribution cover 110% of the TS use cases. and thebonly difficult part is the key distribution but that should be difficult by design otherwise you're doingnit wrong anyway. you can even resuse the ssh keys for the wg tunnel if you're smart about it.
