The ipn.NewPrefs func returns a populated ipn.Prefs for historical reasons. It's not used or as important as it once was, but it hasn't yet been removed. Meanwhile, it contains some default values that are used on some platforms. Notably, for this bug (#1725), Windows/Mac use its Prefs.RouteAll true value (to accept subnets), but Linux users have always gotten a "false" value for that, because that's what cmd/tailscale's CLI default flag is _for all operating systems_. That meant that "tailscale up" was rightfully reporting that the user was changing an implicit setting: RouteAll was changing from true with false with the user explicitly saying so. An obvious fix might be to change ipn.NewPrefs to return Prefs.RouteAll == false on some platforms, but the logic is complicated by darwin: we want RouteAll true on windows, android, ios, and the GUI mac app, but not the CLI tailscaled-on-macOS mode. But even if we used build tags (e.g. the "redo" build tag) to determine what the default is, that then means we have duplicated and differing "defaults" between both the CLI up flags and ipn.NewPrefs. Furthering that complication didn't seem like a good idea. So, changing the NewPrefs defaults is too invasive at this stage of the release, as is removing the NewPrefs func entirely. Instead, tweak slightly the semantics of the ipn.Prefs.ControlURL field. This now defines that a ControlURL of the empty string means both "we're uninitialized" and also "just use the default". Then, once we have the "empty-string-means-unintialized" semantics, use that to suppress "tailscale up"'s recent implicit-setting-revert checking safety net, if we've never initialized Tailscale yet. And update/add tests. Fixes #1725 Signed-off-by: Brad Fitzpatrick <bradfitz@tailscale.com>
Tailscale
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
This repository contains all the open source Tailscale client code and
the tailscaled daemon and tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled
daemon runs primarily on Linux; it also works to varying degrees on
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, and Windows.
The Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros 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 that are not open source.
Building
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.
We only guarantee to support the latest Go release and any Go beta or release candidate builds (currently Go 1.16) in module mode. It might work in earlier Go versions or in GOPATH mode, but we're making no effort to keep those working.
Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.
