I'm working on a school project where I need additional node for my full-stack application. Docker is not permitted, so I decided to use LXC to create privileged containers, and run the needed software needed on containers. I'm attempting to install tailscale on these containers to allow them to connect to the same network with all the other nodes. I am constantly running into issues. The container is Ubuntu, Noble, arm64.

Here is the issue that occurs upon install:

tailscale up
failed to connect to local tailscaled; it doesn't appear to be running (sudo systemctl start tailscaled ?)

Here is the output when checking the status of tailscale

Many of the solutions I've found have stated that Tailscale needs to tunnel in order to create the connection, but I've read that privileged containers already have access to this. I've extensively troubleshooted, including changing the config files, etc.

At this point, I'm wondering if this is possible? Or if Proxmox is needed to install tailscale properly on this container. Any advice is appreciated.
