[Help] Schedule Tailscale and Jellyfin to always start at system Startup
Posted: 05 Jul 2026, 16:27
Hello
I am using TOS7 (Build 765) on a F4-425 Plus that I purchased 1 day ago.
Note that all my other computers are either Mac or Windows. I do not have much experience at all using Linux.
I have managed to get Jellyfin working and the community app version of Tailscale. I have previous experience with the Windows version of Jellyfin that helped a lot. \
Everything is working as I like, but I simply want both Jellyfin and Tailscale to start whenever the NAS starts. So I just want those two applications to start at start up.
I find that the Scheduled Tasks Control Panel is very conterintuitive. If I select Trigger Based task schedule I can select Start Up as an option, but i can't select Tailscale and Jellyfin. If I select Enable/Disable services, I can select Tailscale and Jellyfin, but I cant choose Startup as an option, I must nominate a specific time!
Surely I should be able to use system Start as the relevant trigger, and then choose Tailscale and Jellyfin as the relevant apps that I want to start?
Any help will be appreciated.
I also eventually want to set things up so my NAS switches off at say 1 AM and then restarts at say 6 AM every day just to save some power. And ideally I would like it to switch off after doing a virus scan using ClamAV. But at the moment I am working on simply getting Jellyfin and Tailscale to start at boot.
