Show HN: Tailboot – A bootable that connects to your Tailscale network
tailboot.downloadHi everyone, I often use coding agents to debug remote machines when the host OS isn’t working. I built Tailboot for that workflow: it’s a minimal Debian-based live image that boots from USB, joins your tailnet using a Tailscale auth key, and starts Tailscale SSH.
It's a minimal image (since you're expected to be connected to the internet), but it's enough to let an agent connect to it over Tailscale SSH and debug issues
The access key is injected into the ISO entirely client side, But I generally recommend adding a tag to it that will block it from being able to access other nodes on your network.

TBH no way any sane person is putting an auth key in there, I see you have an issue open though. Great idea, very useful , I’ll watch for that PR!
Thanks, You can specify a ACL tag to the key to restrict it's access into the rest of your network. I will hopefully have a CLI launched this weekend too
