Tags
Apply tags when a node registers, change a node's tags from the CLI, and convert a node between personal ownership and tags in either direction.
Slopscale supports Tailscale tags. Read Tailscale’s tag documentation to learn how tags work and how to use them.
Tags can be applied during node registration:
- using the
--advertise-tagsflag, see web authentication for tagged devices - using a tagged pre authenticated key, see how to create and use it
Administrators can manage tags with:
- Slopscale CLI
- Slopscale API
Common operations
Manage tags for a node
Run slopscale nodes list to list the tags for a node.
Use the slopscale nodes tag command to modify the tags for a node. At least one tag is required and multiple tags can
be provided as comma separated list. The following command sets the tags tag:server and tag:prod on node with ID 1:
slopscale nodes tag -i 1 -t tag:server,tag:prodConvert from personal to tagged node
Use the slopscale nodes tag command to convert a personal (user-owned) node to a tagged node:
slopscale nodes tag -i <NODE_ID> -t <TAG>The node is now owned by the special user tagged-devices and has the specified tags assigned to it.
Convert from tagged to personal node
Tagged nodes can return to personal (user-owned) nodes by re-authenticating with:
tailscale up --login-server <YOUR_SLOPSCALE_URL> --advertise-tags= --force-reauthUsually, a browser window with further instructions is opened. This page explains how to complete the registration on your Slopscale server and it also prints the Auth ID required to approve the node:
slopscale auth register --user <USER> --auth-id <AUTH_ID>All previously assigned tags get removed and the node is now owned by the user specified in the above command.
