Tailscale for developers: Connect to your resources from Gitpod
Remote development is hard. You need access to all the things from wherever you happen to be working from this week. It could be a coffee shop, the train, or even (gasp!) the office. In an ideal world, it shouldn’t take longer to gain access to what you need to get your work done, including cloud and on-prem resources, than it does to complete the tasks at hand.
Developing remotely should be a boon, not a bottleneck, that’s why we’re excited to partner with Gitpod. We aim to make it easy to connect a running workspace in Gitpod to your resources and your colleagues using Tailscale—with Tailscale available by default in Gitpod workspaces, and Gitpod free for a year to Tailscale customers.
Gitpod lets you spin up automated development environments in the cloud, from any Git context. To connect your pre-configured workspace to cloud development resources, or to share with colleagues, you can use Tailscale.
Connecting your Gitpod workspace to Tailscale is easy—in fact, Tailscale is now part of the default full workspace base image for Gitpod! To use it, in your workspace, run tailscale up and authenticate using your browser. That’s it—you’re connected. Now for the hard part, writing code.
