The client has changed a bit since we introduced the path prefix. It is now used for two things: - its original purpose, of ensuring that when the client is run in CGI mode at arbitrary paths, then relative paths for assets continue to work - we also now pass the path to the frontend and use wouter to manage routes for the various subpages of the client. When the client is run behind a reverse proxy (as it is in Home Assistant), it is common for the proxy to rewrite the request so that the backend application doesn't see the path it's being served at. In this case, we don't need to call enforcePrefix, since it's already stripped before it reaches us. However, wouter (or react router library) still sees the original path in the browser, and needs to know what part of it is the prefix that needs to be stripped off. We're handling this by now only calling enforcePrefix when run in CGI mode. For Home Assistant, or any other platform that runs the client behind a reverse proxy with a custom path, they will still need to pass the `-prefix` flag to `tailscale web`, but we will only use it for route handling in the frontend.

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 1.21. (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.
