Issues with setting up tailscale on Truenas Scale

I have an Ubuntu SVR instance running as a VM with the idea of running a tailscale exit node on my NAS.
The problem for me currently is that I cannot use the following installation script

curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh

From which I cannot get the charecter | pasted.

I have no idea how I could get this script running…

And for some reason I cannot get that charecter in noVNC…
And the VM serial shell working. I cannot type anything there, and I it does not output the VM output in the system shell, apart from the picture on the bottom.

Any ideas to get this working?

Thank you for your time!

SSH into the VM from another box and then you can copy paste from whatever into the SSH terminal.

the WebConsole is useful, but not really how you should be managing VMs.

My problem is this
I cannot SSH to that box since I haven’t seen any ability to port-forward the port 22 on the host (Truenas Scale) side.
So the SSH goes to the Truenas Scale, not the VM.

Could you define what you were meaning by “from another box” I am guessing you meant another machine on the network? Just making sure I understood :wink:

what is the IP address of the VM? by default your host NIC should have a bridge that you assign the VM too. the VM should receive (or be assigned) a new IP depending on your network.
