[Bug Report]: Managed TrueNAS bind interfaces not including tailscale0 interface after app install #3974

@cybersader

Description

@cybersader

App Name

Tailscale

Version (TrueNAS Catalog App Version)

1.3.26

App Issue

TrueNAS Version: 25.10.1

Problem:
The SSH service bind interfaces dropdown only shows "managed" interfaces from midclt call interface.query. Dynamically-created interfaces like tailscale0 (from Tailscale container) don't appear, even though they exist at kernel level.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install Tailscale app with Host Network enabled, Userspace disabled
  2. Confirm tailscale0 exists: ip link show | grep tailscale
  3. Go to System → Services → SSH → Edit → Bind Interfaces (or Network tab)
  4. tailscale0 is not listed

Expected Behavior:
Per https://tailscale.com/kb/1483/truenas, users should be able to bind SSH to tailscale0 for secure remote access.

Actual Behavior:

  • ip link show shows tailscale0 ✓
  • midclt call interface.query does NOT show tailscale0 ✗
  • SSH bind dropdown doesn't include tailscale0 ✗
  • CLI workaround fails: midclt call ssh.update '{"bindiface": ["tailscale0"]}' returns validation error

Workaround:
None currently. Users cannot bind native SSH to Tailscale interface.
