LuCI Interface

The project provides an optional LuCI web interface for managing Tailscale through the OpenWrt admin panel.

Features

The LuCI app is organized into four tabs:

Status

  • View Tailscale daemon status (running / stopped)
  • Current network mode (TUN / Userspace)
  • Connected device list

Configuration

  • Toggle service enable/disable
  • Change networking mode
  • Configure proxy listen address
  • Modify download source

Maintenance

  • Install or update Tailscale
  • Switch versions
  • Enable/disable auto-updates
  • Self-update the manager script
  • Sync runtime scripts
  • Uninstall Tailscale

Logs

  • View manager logs (/var/log/tailscale-manager.log)
  • View service logs (/var/log/tailscale.log)

Installation

The LuCI interface is automatically installed when you run tailscale-manager install or tailscale-manager sync-scripts. It requires:

  • LuCI (included in most OpenWrt firmware)
  • rpcd (for RPC communication)

Accessing

After installation, navigate to Services → Tailscale in the LuCI web interface.

TIP

After installing or updating the LuCI app, you may need to clear your browser cache or restart rpcd:

sh
/etc/init.d/rpcd restart
