Tailscale mesh
BuiltSignature capability
Five machines across three continents behave like one private LAN over Tailscale, I SSH to any of them by name, and each carries a dedicated role in the stack.
What it is
Joined the fleet into one private network addressable by name. Two of the five nodes were decommissioned in July 2026 and Tailscale is currently down on mbp-server, so day-to-day access runs over reverse SSH tunnels via Hostinger. Kept here as an honest record of how the fleet is actually reached.
Highlights
- Mac (development only since 2026-07-17).
- mbp-server (Linux on a MacBookPro14,1), the live execution host, systemd fleet pinned to America/New_York.
- Hostinger VPS, the Kaleo AI hub: WhatsApp and Discord assistant, Pulse LLM router, n8n automations.
- Tailscale is currently down on mbp-server; host access runs over an autossh reverse tunnel through Hostinger instead.
