🌍 Tailscale

tailscale status

tailscale status --self

tailscale ip

tailscale ip -4

tailscale ping bharat

sudo tailscale up

sudo tailscale down

sudo systemctl restart tailscaled

systemctl status tailscaled

Future Hamza:
Run "tailscale status --self" if you forget the MagicDNS name.

MagicDNS:

bharat.YOUR-TAILNET.ts.net

Tailscale IPv4:

📡 go2rtc

sudo systemctl status go2rtc

sudo systemctl restart go2rtc

sudo systemctl stop go2rtc

sudo systemctl start go2rtc

journalctl -u go2rtc -f

journalctl -u go2rtc --since today

systemctl is-enabled go2rtc

go2rtc - http://192.168.1.215:1984/

go2rtc runs as a systemd service. SSH session does NOT need to stay open. go2rtc automatically starts after reboot.

🌐 Apache

sudo systemctl status apache2

sudo systemctl restart apache2

sudo systemctl stop apache2

sudo systemctl start apache2

apachectl -t

journalctl -u apache2 -f

🧩 Things Future Hamza Will Forget

The cameras are NOT directly on the home network.

The cameras sit behind the Dahua DVR.

Camera IPs seen by DVR:
10.1.1.65
10.1.1.66
10.1.1.67
10.1.1.68
10.1.1.69

RTSP streams are accessed through DVR:
192.168.1.230

Substream:
704x480

Main stream:
2592x1944

go2rtc serves all cameras to:
bharat.local/cams

No Windows PC required.

Everything runs from Raspberry Pi.
