Failed to start tailscaled.service

Help Needed

UPDATE: I've fixed the issue. After spending too much time on google with no working solutions I finally gave up and just rolled back to a backup. I then updated my Navidrome and rebooted my LXC and then updated Tailscale. Now it works again.

So I'm facing this issue that I can't start Tailscale on my Proxmox LXC.

When I run the command tailscale up I get this error:

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

Then if I run the command:

systemctl status tailscaled

I get this error:

x tailscaled.service - Tailscale node agent

I've tried removing Tailscale from the LXC and reinstalling it, but that didn't help.

Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?

    What LXC image are you running?

    What method are you using to install tailscale?

    It's on my Navidrome LXC. Both Navidrome and Tailscale are installed using the Proxmox Helper Scripts from tteck.

    It's been running smooth until today. I updated Navidrome to the latest version and now I can't get Tailscale to work.

    In the future, install tailscale via the helper scripts for Proxmox.

    That's what I did. But that didn't fix the issue.
