Tailscale script for GL-iNet Beryl AX side switch

This script allows you to toggle tailscale settings using the physical side switch on the GL-iNet Beryl AX.

To install, copy the below file to /etc/gl-switch.d/tailscale.sh and replace the exit_node_ip value with your exit node ip address.

Make sure to set the execute bit on the new file: chmod +x /etc/gl-switch.d/tailscale.sh

Then go to System -> Toggle Button Settings and choose Tailscale (On/Off) in the dropdown and Apply

tailscale.sh

#!/bin/sh

action=$1

if [ "$action" = "on" ];then
  enabled=true
  lan_enabled=false
  wan_enabled=true
  exit_node_ip="{{ REPLACE WITH YOUR EXIT NODE IP }}"
elif [ "$action" = "off" ];then
  enabled=true
  lan_enabled=false
  wan_enabled=true
  exit_node_ip=""
else
  echo "Usage: $0 [on|off]"
  exit 1
fi

curl -H  'glinet: 1' -s -k http://127.0.0.1/rpc -d "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"call\",\"params\":[\"\",\"tailscale\",\"set_config\",{\"enabled\":$enabled,\"lan_enabled\":$lan_enabled,\"wan_enabled\":$wan_enabled,\"exit_node_ip\":\"$exit_node_ip\"}],\"id\":1}"

sleep 5

Mind sharing your script?

Here is what I'm using, and I believe it addresses @lucfig's question. It differs from the original by: a) It turns Tailscale completely off or on (with an exit node) as @rdgerken mentions, and b) This script switches what side is on and off from the factory. Below will turn off Tailscale when the switch is to the left and turn it on when the switch is to the right (the side with the dot). This makes more sense to me.

#!/bin/sh

action=$1

if [ "$action" = "off" ]; then  # Switched the logic so "off" now enables Tailscale
  enabled=true
  lan_enabled=false
  wan_enabled=true
  exit_node_ip="{{ REPLACE WITH YOUR EXIT NODE IP }}"
elif [ "$action" = "on" ]; then  # "On" now fully disables Tailscale
  enabled=false
  lan_enabled=false
  wan_enabled=false
  exit_node_ip=""
else
  echo "Usage: $0 [on|off]"
  exit 1
fi

curl -H 'glinet: 1' -s -k http://127.0.0.1/rpc -d "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"call\",\"params\":[\"\",\"tailscale\",\"set_config\",{\"enabled\":$enabled,\"lan_enabled\":$lan_enabled,\"wan_enabled\":$wan_enabled,\"exit_node_ip\":\"$exit_node_ip\"}],\"id\":1}"

sleep 5

As noted, be sure to set execute rights on the tailscale.sh file after copying to the router.

Any idea if this would work for the Slate 7?

Sorry, no idea.

I never expected people to actually find and use this 🙈
I more put it here for my own reference for when an upgrade wiped it out..haha

Good to see it has been helpful though

Used @DougS026 script and it works a treat.

@smolz, I assume you mean on the Slate 7? Thanks for letting us know!
