Tailscale Kubernetes | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Run Tailscale inside a Kubernetes pod reliably — persistent identity, SSH host keys, RBAC, stop/start without re-registration, and API-based device cleanup. Use when: configuring tailscaled in a pod or StatefulSet, debugging Tailscale device getting a -1 suffix on pod restart, setting up Tailscale SSH in a container, storing Tailscale state in a K8s secret, managing Tailscale devices via API from a CLI or script, or asking why SSH fingerprints change after pod restart. Trigger on phrases like 'tailscale in kubernetes', 'tailscale pod keeps getting -1', 'tailscale ssh in container', 'TSKUBESECRET', 'tailscale state kube', 'tailscale device cleanup', 'ssh host key changes on pod restart'.
