I’m having a hard time with tail scale, I have it setup on my windows computer and on my android phone.

I want to be able to connect to the hotspot on my phone and access local resources on my computer. I have tried googling it and I just get a 1000 conflicting statements none of which are of any help.

So far it works fine from my phone to my PC with no issues but when I connect a device to the phone it can’t see anything on the local network through that device. The connected device in question is a steamdeck and yes I attempted to install tail scale on the deck which also failed miserably.

I followed this video and at sudo bash tailscale.sh I get no such file or directory but I can see the files in file manager. If I attempt to run it from the folder I get could not find /home/deck/documents/github/deck-tailscale.sh.

I tried this official guide https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale and it fails at step 2 saying there is no such directory but I can navigate directly too it and see the files are there.

I’m so lost, can anyone point me in a direction? the ultimate goal here is to use jellyfin out side of my network on my steam deck and every install guide out there fails. I don’t see it in the discovery store and the official git hub desktop app cannot even see the files it just downloaded.

I’m new to linux, I’m lost, and I have no idea whats going on.

      This probably is the issue, when you download a script or binary from the internet it doesn’t have execution permission, you would have to right click on folder to open in terminal (that way don’t have to cd to it), and check permissions with ls -la if it doesn’t have permission, change it with chmod
