Idea #22427
Updated by Peter Amstutz 18 days ago
Want to be able to create a private overlay network of Arvados instances. Goals:
* To make it easy to configure a client device to contact an Arvados appliance.
* To be able to federate with Arvados instances behind NAT gateways.
Tailscale helps solve naming and routing problems.
Notes:
You can only (easily) be on one Tailscale network at a time.
Even on the same network, Tailscale makes connecting two devices pretty easy. But there's other ways to do it, e.g. DNS-SD #22426.
For handling NAT gateways, the alternative is to try and tell the router to forward ports using UPnP, this is generally pretty gross.
