Tailscale lets you open VALE running on your main computer from a phone, tablet or another computer. Follow the Mac or Windows instructions for the computer that runs VALE.
First, install Tailscale on your devices.
Install Tailscale on the main computer running VALE and on each device you want to connect from. Sign in with the same account and follow the VPN setup prompts. Run the command below only on the computer that runs VALE.
Download Tailscale ↗When your main computer is a Mac
Create an access address on your Mac. Do this once.
Open VALE on the Mac, then open Applications › Utilities › Terminal. Paste the line below and press Return.
/Applications/Tailscale.app/Contents/MacOS/Tailscale serve --bg --https=8443 http://127.0.0.1:8748Enable HTTPS and save the access address.
If a setup link appears, open it to enable HTTPS, then run the same command again. Save the access address starting with https:// shown in the terminal. Each computer has its own address.
Open it in a browser on another device.
Connect Tailscale on your phone, tablet or other computer, then open that address in Safari, Chrome or Edge. Bookmark it so you can return to it next time.
When your main computer runs Windows
Open PowerShell on Windows.
Start VALE and first check that http://127.0.0.1:8748 opens VALE in this PC’s browser. Open PowerShell from the Start menu, paste the line below and press Enter. This command assumes Tailscale is installed in its default location.
& "$env:ProgramFiles\Tailscale\tailscale.exe" serve --bg --https=8443 http://127.0.0.1:8748Enable HTTPS and save the access address.
If a setup link appears, open it to enable HTTPS, then run the same command again. Save the access address starting with https:// shown in the terminal. Each computer has its own address.
Open it in a browser on another device.
Connect Tailscale on your phone, tablet or other computer, then open that address in Safari, Chrome or Edge. Bookmark it so you can return to it next time.
Keep the main computer awake, with VALE and Tailscale running. Conversations and tasks run there; your other devices connect to its interface. This does not synchronize memories between separate VALE installations.
These steps are for a personal Tailscale network containing only your own devices. Devices allowed to connect can access VALE’s memories and work. Keep public internet access through Funnel off.
