Debian · Ubuntu · Raspberry PiTwo ways to run on Linux: a desktop app (with UI) for personal machines, or a headless daemon for servers and Raspberry Pi.
Headless daemon (servers, Raspberry Pi)
Installs the ZiB daemon, Tailscale, and sets up the systemd service. No UI — runs as a background service.
After installing
The installer starts the service automatically. To link it to your account, check the logs for your PIN:
