containerboot: Adds 3 new environment variables for containerboot, `TS_LOCAL_ADDR_PORT` (default `"${POD_IP}:9002"`), `TS_METRICS_ENABLED` (default `false`), and `TS_DEBUG_ADDR_PORT` (default `""`), to configure metrics and debug endpoints. In a follow-up PR, the health check endpoint will be updated to use the `TS_LOCAL_ADDR_PORT` if `TS_HEALTHCHECK_ADDR_PORT` hasn't been set. Users previously only had access to internal debug metrics (which are unstable and not recommended) via passing the `--debug` flag to tailscaled, but can now set `TS_METRICS_ENABLED=true` to expose the stable metrics documented at https://tailscale.com/kb/1482/client-metrics at `/metrics` on the addr/port specified by `TS_LOCAL_ADDR_PORT`. Users can also now configure a debug endpoint more directly via the `TS_DEBUG_ADDR_PORT` environment variable. This is not recommended for production use, but exposes an internal set of debug metrics and pprof endpoints. operator: The `ProxyClass` CRD's `.spec.metrics.enable` field now enables serving the stable user metrics documented at https://tailscale.com/kb/1482/client-metrics at `/metrics` on the same "metrics" container port that debug metrics were previously served on. To smooth the transition for anyone relying on the way the operator previously consumed this field, we also _temporarily_ serve tailscaled's internal debug metrics on the same `/debug/metrics` path as before, until 1.82.0 when debug metrics will be turned off by default even if `.spec.metrics.enable` is set. At that point, anyone who wishes to continue using the internal debug metrics (not recommended) will need to set the new `ProxyClass` field `.spec.statefulSet.pod.tailscaleContainer.debug.enable`. Users who wish to opt out of the transitional behaviour, where enabling `.spec.metrics.enable` also enables debug metrics, can set `.spec.statefulSet.pod.tailscaleContainer.debug.enable` to false (recommended). Separately but related, the operator will no longer specify a host port for the "metrics" container port definition. This caused scheduling conflicts when k8s needs to schedule more than one proxy per node, and was not necessary for allowing the pod's port to be exposed to prometheus scrapers.

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.
