APK Installation (OpenWrt 25.12+)

This guide is for OpenWrt 25.12 or later, which uses the APK package manager.
If you have an older version, go to OPKG Installation.

Step 1: Download the public key

Add the repository public key to the trusted keyring:

Run the following command on your OpenWrt device:

wget -O /etc/apk/keys/gunanovo@github.io.pub \
  https://gunanovo.github.io/openwrt-tailscale/key-build.rsa.pub

Or manually download the public key file to /etc/apk/keys/ on your OpenWrt device.

Step 2: Add the repository

Add the repository to your OpenWrt configuration:

Run the following command on your OpenWrt device:

echo "https://gunanovo.github.io/openwrt-tailscale/$(cat /etc/apk/arch)/packages.adb" \
  >> /etc/apk/repositories.d/customfeeds.list

Or manually edit /etc/apk/repositories.d/customfeeds.list and add the following:

https://gunanovo.github.io/openwrt-tailscale/{your-device-architecture}/packages.adb

Replace {your-device-architecture} with your device architecture. Use cat /etc/apk/arch to find it.

Step 3: Install Tailscale

Choose your preferred method to install Tailscale:

Command line:

# Update package lists
apk update

# Install tailscale
apk add tailscale

Web UI:

1. Go to System → Software;
2. Click Update lists to refresh packages;
3. Search for "tailscale";
4. Install "tailscale";

NOTE

The "failed log upload" message during installation is expected and can be safely ignored.

Done. Now configure Tailscale:
