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.
