// The containerboot binary is a wrapper for starting tailscaled in a
// container. It handles reading the desired mode of operation out of
// environment variables, bringing up and authenticating Tailscale,
// and any other kubernetes-specific side jobs.
//
// As with most container things, configuration is passed through
// environment variables. All configuration is optional.
//
//  - TS_AUTH_KEY: the authkey to use for login.
//  - TS_ROUTES: subnet routes to advertise.
//  - TS_DEST_IP: proxy all incoming Tailscale traffic to the given
//                destination.
//  - TS_TAILSCALED_EXTRA_ARGS: extra arguments to 'tailscaled'.
//  - TS_EXTRA_ARGS: extra arguments to 'tailscale up'.
//  - TS_USERSPACE: run with userspace networking (the default)
//                  instead of kernel networking.
//  - TS_STATE_DIR: the directory in which to store tailscaled
//                  state. The data should persist across container
//                  restarts.
//  - TS_ACCEPT_DNS: whether to use the tailnet's DNS configuration.
//  - TS_KUBE_SECRET: the name of the Kubernetes secret in which to
//                    store tailscaled state.
//  - TS_SOCKS5_SERVER: the address on which to listen for SOCKS5
//                      proxying into the tailnet.
//  - TS_OUTBOUND_HTTP_PROXY_LISTEN: the address on which to listen
//                                   for HTTP proxying into the tailnet.
//  - TS_SOCKET: the path where the tailscaled local API socket should
//               be created.
//  - TS_AUTH_ONCE: if true, only attempt to log in if not already
//                  logged in. If false (the default, for backwards
//                  compatibility), forcibly log in every time the
//                  container starts.
//
// When running on Kubernetes, TS_KUBE_SECRET takes precedence over
// TS_STATE_DIR. Additionally, if TS_AUTH_KEY is not provided and the
// TS_KUBE_SECRET contains an "authkey" field, that key is used.
