It was requested by the first customer 4-5 years ago and only used for a brief moment of time. We later added netmap visibility trimming which removes the need for this. It's been hidden by the CLI for quite some time and never documented anywhere else. This keeps the CLI flag, though, out of caution. It just returns an error if it's set to anything but true (its default). Fixes #12058 Change-Id: I7514ba572e7b82519b04ed603ff9f3bdbaecfda7 Signed-off-by: Brad Fitzpatrick <bradfitz@tailscale.com> |

tsconnect
The tsconnect command builds and serves the static site that is generated for the Tailscale Connect JS/WASM client.
Development
To start the development server:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect dev
The site is served at http://localhost:9090/. JavaScript, CSS and Go wasm
package changes can be picked up with a browser reload. Server-side Go changes require the server to be stopped and restarted. In development mode the state the Tailscale client state is stored in sessionStorage
and will thus survive page reloads (but not the tab being closed).
Deployment
To build the static assets necessary for serving, run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect build
To serve them, run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect serve
By default the build output is placed in the dist/
directory and embedded in the binary, but this can be controlled by the -distdir
flag. The -addr
flag controls the interface and port that the serve listens on.
Library / NPM Package
The client is also available as an NPM package. To build it, run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect build-pkg
That places the output in the pkg/
directory, which may then be uploaded to a package registry (or installed from the file path directly).
To do two-sided development (on both the NPM package and code that uses it), run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect dev-pkg
This serves the module at http://localhost:9090/pkg/pkg.js and the generated wasm file at http://localhost:9090/pkg/main.wasm. The two files can be used as drop-in replacements for normal imports of the NPM module.
