In Dec 2021 in d3d503d997 I had grand plans to make exit node DNS
cheaper by using HTTP/2 over PeerAPI, at least on some platforms. I
only did server-side support though and never made it to the client.
In the ~4 years since, some things have happened:
* Go 1.24 got support for http.Protocols (https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Protocols)
and doing UnencryptedHTTP2 ("HTTP2 with prior knowledge")
* The old h2c upgrade mechanism was deprecated; see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/63565
and https://github.com/golang/go/issues/67816
* Go plans to deprecate x/net/http2 and move everything to the standard library.
So this drops our use of the x/net/http2/h2c package and instead
enables h2c (on all platforms now) using the standard library.
This does mean we lose the deprecated h2c Upgrade support, but that's
fine.
If/when we do the h2c client support for ExitDNS, we'll have to probe
the peer to see whether it supports it. Or have it reply with a header
saying that future requests can us h2c. (It's tempting to use capver,
but maybe people will disable that support anyway, so we should
discover it at runtime instead.)
Also do the same in the sessionrecording package.

tsidp - Tailscale OpenID Connect (OIDC) Identity Provider
tsidp is an OIDC Identity Provider (IdP) server that integrates with your Tailscale network. It allows you to use Tailscale identities for authentication in applications that support OpenID Connect, enabling single sign-on (SSO) capabilities within your tailnet.
Prerequisites
- A Tailscale network (tailnet) with magicDNS and HTTPS enabled
- A Tailscale authentication key from your tailnet
- Docker installed on your system
Installation using Docker
Pre-built image
A pre-built tsidp image exists at tailscale/tsidp:unstable.
Building from Source
# Clone the Tailscale repository
git clone https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale.git
cd tailscale
# Build and publish to your own registry
make publishdevtsidp REPO=ghcr.io/yourusername/tsidp TAGS=v0.0.1 PUSH=true
Running the Container
Replace YOUR_TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY with your Tailscale authentication key:
docker run -d \
--name tsidp \
-p 443:443 \
-e TS_AUTHKEY=YOUR_TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY \
-e TAILSCALE_USE_WIP_CODE=1 \
-v tsidp-data:/var/lib/tsidp \
ghcr.io/yourusername/tsidp:v0.0.1 \
tsidp --hostname=idp --dir=/var/lib/tsidp
Verify Installation
docker logs tsidp
Visit https://idp.tailnet.ts.net to confirm the service is running.
Usage Example: Proxmox Integration
Here's how to configure Proxmox to use tsidp for authentication:
-
In Proxmox, navigate to Datacenter > Realms > Add OpenID Connect Server
-
Configure the following settings:
- Issuer URL:
https://idp.velociraptor.ts.net - Realm:
tailscale(or your preferred name) - Client ID:
unused - Client Key:
unused - Default:
true - Autocreate users:
true - Username claim:
email
- Issuer URL:
-
Set up user permissions:
- Go to Datacenter > Permissions > Groups
- Create a new group (e.g., "tsadmins")
- Click Permissions in the sidebar
- Add Group Permission
- Set Path to
/for full admin access or scope as needed - Set the group and role
- Add Tailscale-authenticated users to the group
Configuration Options
The tsidp server supports several command-line flags:
--verbose: Enable verbose logging--port: Port to listen on (default: 443)--local-port: Allow requests from localhost--use-local-tailscaled: Use local tailscaled instead of tsnet--hostname: tsnet hostname--dir: tsnet state directory
Environment Variables
TS_AUTHKEY: Your Tailscale authentication key (required)TS_HOSTNAME: Hostname for thetsidpserver (default: "idp", Docker only)TS_STATE_DIR: State directory (default: "/var/lib/tsidp", Docker only)TAILSCALE_USE_WIP_CODE: Enable work-in-progress code (default: "1")
