Hello guys, I need help. I google 4 hours and talked 20 to the KI, my brain is mush....

I try it short:

I got a proxmox server, running OpenMediaVault in a VM. All is in my local Fritz-Network (192.168.178.0.1)
My goal is to grant a friend access to my local OMV (specific folders) via SMB.

So I installed tailscale on the VM and on my home-win-PC to test it out myself. The configuration worked well and I dont think that there is an issue.
Tailscale given me 100.8x.x.x IPs on both devices.
I can connect from my PC to SSH on OMV, everything seems working fine.
But Iam still not able to connect via SMB. If im gonna still type my local IP to OMV - its working. But with the tailscale IP SMB isnt working.

Is the problem my network? Am I not be able to test it myself or am I doing anything wrong?
In my world I should access from my local IP (if tailscape option Lcal LAN activated - which is) and from the tailscale IP.

I also read about nextcloud - is this a better way? I just want a small filesystem-lab for myself at home and some access from internet to shared folders for friends.
Is this possible?


Any help would be great

I don't think Nextcloud will solve your problems. It must be something to do with the network configuration, although I'm not familiar with Tailscale. Are you using it to tunnel requests over their network into your local LAN?
 
Make sure OMV and Samba are listening on the Tailnet and not just your local network. In OMV, go to Services / SMB/CIFS / Settings and look in the "Extra Options" box. Either delete the interfaces = and bind interfaces only = yes lines entirely (This is the simplest. Samba then listens on everything), or append tailscale0 to the existing interfaces line,
Code:
interfaces = lo 192.168.178.0/24 tailscale0

Hit save, apply the config, then verify with

Code:
sudo ss -tlnp | grep :445

You want to see 0.0.0.0:445, not a single LAN IP.
