Subnet router in kubernetes not showing up in machine list

Linux
1

hello, I am using the instructions on tailscale.com to launch a subnet router in my k8s cluster, so that I can access pods directly. The pod is healthy, however it is not showing up as a list of machines in my account so I can authorize the subnets. here are the pod logs.

This is what looks like the issue, I just don’t know how to solve it.

Anyone? I am totally stuck, yes I have googled and followed the docs pretty closely.

Hi Dax,

That doesn’t give me enough information to know what might be the cause. Can you bring it up and run tailscale bugreport and send that code to support@tailscale.com

If you can’t get in to run a bug report, send us the IP address (100.x.y.z) which is listed on your machines page here: Tailscale

Sorry I was away for a bit. When I try to run the bug report. I get

/ $ tailscale bugreport
Failed to connect to local Tailscale daemon for /localapi/v0/bugreport; not running? Error: dial unix /var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock: connect: no such file or directory

   49 1000      0:00 ps ax

The router doesn’t show up in the list.

Thank
Brad

I fixed it… not sure how. I think it had to do with my pfsense. Followed the guide.
