wtf is tailscale-qpkg?

Tailscale is a tool that creates a secure private network between your devices, no matter where they are. This repo packages the Tailscale client for QNAP network-attached storage (NAS) devices. The main benefit is that once installed, you can access your QNAP NAS remotely, from anywhere, as if it were sitting on the same local network as your laptop or phone, without exposing it to the open internet or fiddling with router settings. At a high level, a QNAP NAS is a personal server for storing files and running apps. Tailscale's client makes that server securely reachable from your other devices. Installing the package means you don't need to set up port forwarding on your router or trust a public cloud with your files. This repo just handles the packaging and distribution of the client for QNAP's specific system. Precompiled packages are available, with a stable version for most users and an "unstable" version for those who want the latest updates. Anyone with a QNAP NAS who wants to access it while traveling or away from home would use this. For example, a small business owner could use it to share a NAS full of project files with remote employees, or a photographer could pull raw images from a home NAS while on a shoot. It provides the convenience of cloud storage without giving up control of where the data lives. The README is sparse on technical detail, but notes that the actual source code lives in a separate repository. This repo exists to handle the build process into the QPKG format that QNAP devices recognize. Building from source requires Docker, which the README mentions as a way to bundle all the necessary build tools together. The project was originally created by a community member before being adopted by the Tailscale team.
