Tailscale on Raspberry PI 4B not starting

I tried to install tailscale on my raspberry via the instructions given at Setting up Tailscale on Raspberry Pi (Bullseye) · Tailscale .
This worked fine until the step where I’m supposed to connect my device.
When running sudo tailscale up I’m getting an error telling me
failed to connect to local tailscaled; it doesn’t appear to be running (sudo systemctl start tailscaled ?)

After running the given command it just tells me
Job for tailscaled.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

After looking more into the error it says
Nov 25 21:01:51 raspberrypi systemd[1]: tailscaled.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 10.
Nov 25 21:01:51 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Stopped Tailscale node agent.
Nov 25 21:01:51 raspberrypi systemd[1]: tailscaled.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
Nov 25 21:01:51 raspberrypi systemd[1]: tailscaled.service: Failed with result ‘exit-code’.
Nov 25 21:01:51 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Failed to start Tailscale node agent.

Now I don’t really have an idea why this is happening and what I could do.

@Mikecraft1224 I don’t know if this is still happening for you but in my case a reboot after the installation helped and I could authenticate successfully afterwards.

I find that a reboot after installation is the simplest solution. Works every time. I tried sleeping but reboot is reliable.
