Changes made: * Avoid "encoding/json" for JSON processing, and instead use "github.com/go-json-experiment/json/jsontext". Use jsontext.Value.IsValid for validation, which is much faster. Use jsontext.AppendQuote instead of our own JSON escaping. * In drainPending, use a different maxLen depending on lowMem. In lowMem mode, it is better to perform multiple uploads than it is to construct a large body that OOMs the process. * In drainPending, if an error is encountered draining, construct an error message in the logtail JSON format rather than something that is invalid JSON. * In appendTextOrJSONLocked, use jsontext.Decoder to check whether the input is a valid JSON object. This is faster than the previous approach of unmarshaling into map[string]any and then re-marshaling that data structure. This is especially beneficial for network flow logging, which produces relatively large JSON objects. * In appendTextOrJSONLocked, enforce maxSize on the input. If too large, then we may end up in a situation where the logs can never be uploaded because it exceeds the maximum body size that the Tailscale logs service accepts. * Use "tailscale.com/util/truncate" to properly truncate a string on valid UTF-8 boundaries. * In general, remove unnecessary spaces in JSON output.

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 1.22. (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.
