We've been maintaining temporary dev forks of golang.org/x/crypto/{acme,ssh} in https://github.com/tailscale/golang-x-crypto instead of using this repo's tempfork directory as we do with other packages. The reason we were doing that was because x/crypto/ssh depended on x/crypto/ssh/internal/poly1305 and I hadn't noticed there are forwarding wrappers already available in x/crypto/poly1305. It also depended internal/bcrypt_pbkdf but we don't use that so it's easy to just delete that calling code in our tempfork/ssh. Now that our SSH changes have been upstreamed, we can soon unfork from SSH. That leaves ACME remaining. This change copies our tailscale/golang-x-crypto/acme code to tempfork/acme but adds a test that our vendored copied still matches our tailscale/golang-x-crypto repo, where we can continue to do development work and rebases with upstream. A comment on the new test describes the expected workflow. While we could continue to just import & use tailscale/golang-x-crypto/acme, it seems a bit nicer to not have that entire-fork-of-x-crypto visible at all in our transitive deps and the questions that invites. Showing just a fork of an ACME client is much less scary. It does add a step to the process of hacking on the ACME client code, but we do that approximately never anyway, and the extra step is very incremental compared to the existing tedious steps.

Tailscale
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code.
Notably, it includes the tailscaled
daemon and
the tailscale
CLI tool. The tailscaled
daemon runs on Linux, Windows,
macOS, and to varying degrees
on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's
code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.
Other Tailscale repos of note:
- the Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
- the Synology package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-synology
- the QNAP package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-qpkg
- the Chocolatey packaging is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-chocolatey
For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.
Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.
Other clients
The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.
Building
We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.23. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)
go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}
If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh
instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled
If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of
build_dist.sh
, please do the equivalent of what it does in your
distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.
Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.
Contributing
PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.
We require Developer Certificate of
Origin
Signed-off-by
lines in commits.
See git log
for our commit message style. It's basically the same as
Go's style.
