fee2d9fad added support for cmd/tailscale to connect to IPNExtension. It came in two parts: If no socket was provided, dial IPNExtension first, and also, if dialing the socket failed, fall back to IPNExtension. The second half of that support caused the integration tests to fail when run on a machine that was also running IPNExtension. The integration tests want to wait until the tailscaled instances that they spun up are listening. They do that by dialing the new instance. But when that dial failed, it was falling back to IPNExtension, so it appeared (incorrectly) that tailscaled was running. Hilarity predictably ensued. If a user (or a test) explicitly provides a socket to dial, it is a reasonable assumption that they have a specific tailscaled in mind and don't want to fall back to IPNExtension. It is certainly true of the integration tests. Instead of adding a bool to Connect, split out the notion of a connection strategy. For now, the implementation remains the same, but with the details hidden a bit. Later, we can improve that. Signed-off-by: Josh Bleecher Snyder <josh@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 1.17) 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.
Contributing
PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.
