Tailscale Integration

Tailscale is utilized for managing game server nodes in 5Stack. It provides a secure and reliable connection to facilitate on-demand servers for matches. The installation script will automatically install Tailscale and prompt for the required API keys.

Tailscale Access Control Lists (ACLs)

When using Tailscale across multiple networks, it's recommended to set up an Access Control List (ACL). This ACL helps isolate the game server nodes from other machines in your Tailscale network, enhancing security and control.

{
	"tagOwners": {
		"tag:fivestack": [],
	},

	"autoApprovers": {
		"routes": {
			"10.42.0.0/16": ["tag:fivestack"],
		},
	},

	// Define access control lists for users, groups, autogroups, tags,
	// Tailscale IP addresses, and subnet ranges.
	"acls": [
		{
			"action": "accept",
			"src":    ["tag:fivestack", "10.42.0.0/16"],
			"dst":    ["tag:fivestack:*", "10.42.0.0/16:*"],
		},
	],
}

WARNING

If you use a tag, make sure to assign the tag to the machine in the Tailscale dashboard.
