tailscale-ssh:tldr:1d8e2

tailscale-ssh: SSH to a specific host which has Tailscale-SSH enabled.
$ tailscale ssh ${username}@${host}
try on your machine

This command uses the Tailscale software to establish a secure SSH connection to a remote host.

Here is a breakdown of each component:

  • tailscale: This is the command used to control Tailscale, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) software.
  • ssh: This specifies that the following command will use the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol for remote login and command execution.
  • ${username}: This is a placeholder for the username used to authenticate with the remote host.
  • ${host}: This is a placeholder for the hostname or IP address of the remote host.

By replacing ${username} and ${host} with their respective values, the command will attempt to use Tailscale to establish an SSH connection to the specified remote host, using the provided username for authentication.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
