A Decky plugin to activate and deactivate Tailscale, while staying in Gaming mode.
[Note: Tailscale needs to be installed, this works only like a switch for the same.]
You will need to have Tailscale installed into your Steam Deck.
This plugin is a controller for turning Tailscale on and off.
Official install guide here: https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale
Once you have followed the steps and installed Tailscale using the above guide, it would auto-enable Tailscale at every boot, which might not necessarily be something everyone wants. This is where this plugin comes in.
There are 2 main reasons:
- The steps to install tailscale have changed for the Steam Deck and therefore could change in future, which brings the risk of corrupting files or not being able to remove files while updating (unless it is built by someone more proficient than me or is built by the official team).
- The guide created by @legowerewolf mentioned above provides a way by which your Tailscale install can persist across Steam updates.
So its a win-win.
