I'm trying to setup a service running at my home that I need a device that can't run tailscale to connect to. I can drop a raspberry pi at the other location running tailscale but can't get it to listen on a port and forward it to the tailscale network. I can't use subnet routing or exit node as the traffic needs to originate from the client. (IE it's not a printer that excepts connections). Any thoughts on getting this to work? I created the service and can connect from tailscale connected devices but there is no port listening so I'm not sure how to get a client on the same LAN to see it.

Here is the flow:
Dumb device -> tailscale client listening on port accessible to LAN -> tailscale service (DNS) -> tailscale client hosting service locally

Actual use case
Managed device-> Raspberry pi -> Management device running tailscale client
