Auto Update Tailscale on Synology

If you are running Tailscale on a Synology (which is a fantastic use case), you can set up a daily task to have Synology update itself, making it muach easier to ensure you stay up to date.

First create a scheduled task, and name it something clear that you will know what it’s for. Make sure this runs as root -

Next, go to the “Task Settings” and in the Run Command section, put tailscale update --yes. Select the schedule you want this to run on and you’re set!
