The trick is to persist the tailscale var volume. The auth key is only used when setting up a particular client the first time, once it's connected to your network the auth key is irrelevant.

If you're doing this with ephemeral containers then yes you'll need a way to roll auth keys. OAuth credentials don't expire and Tailscale has a command line single purpose tool to get an auth key given OAuth credentials, so that can be a viable alternative.

Oh, that makes a huge difference, then. I had wondered why anything needed to be persistent.

Thanks!
