This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

Previously, the operator checked the ProxyGroup status fields for
information on how many of the proxies had successfully authed. Use
their state Secrets instead as a more reliable source of truth.
containerboot has written device_fqdn and device_ips keys to the
state Secret since inception, and pod_uid since 1.78.0, so there's
no need to use the API for that data. Read it from the state Secret
for consistency. However, to ensure we don't read data from a
previous run of containerboot, make sure we reset containerboot's
state keys on startup.
One other knock-on effect of that is ProxyGroups can briefly be
marked not Ready while a Pod is restarting. Introduce a new
ProxyGroupAvailable condition to more accurately reflect
when downstream controllers can implement flows that rely on a
ProxyGroup having at least 1 proxy Pod running.

This PR adds some custom logic for reading and writing
kube store values that are TLS certs and keys:
1) when store is initialized, lookup additional
TLS Secrets for this node and if found, load TLS certs
from there
2) if the node runs in certs 'read only' mode and
TLS cert and key are not found in the in-memory store,
look those up in a Secret
3) if the node runs in certs 'read only' mode, run
a daily TLS certs reload to memory to get any
renewed certs

This is a follow-up to #14112 where our internal kube client was updated
to allow it to emit Events - this updates our sample kube manifests
and tsrecorder manifest templates so they can benefit from this functionality.

Adds functionality to kube client to emit Events.
Updates kube store to emit Events when tailscaled state has been loaded, updated or if any errors where
encountered during those operations.
This should help in cases where an error related to state loading/updating caused the Pod to crash in a loop-
unlike logs of the originally failed container instance, Events associated with the Pod will still be
accessible even after N restarts.

* cmd/containerboot,kube,util/linuxfw: configure kube egress proxies to route to 1+ tailnet targets
This commit is first part of the work to allow running multiple
replicas of the Kubernetes operator egress proxies per tailnet service +
to allow exposing multiple tailnet services via each proxy replica.
This expands the existing iptables/nftables-based proxy configuration
mechanism.
A proxy can now be configured to route to one or more tailnet targets
via a (mounted) config file that, for each tailnet target, specifies:
- the target's tailnet IP or FQDN
- mappings of container ports to which cluster workloads will send traffic to
tailnet target ports where the traffic should be forwarded.
Example configfile contents:
{
"some-svc": {"tailnetTarget":{"fqdn":"foo.tailnetxyz.ts.net","ports"{"tcp:4006:80":{"protocol":"tcp","matchPort":4006,"targetPort":80},"tcp:4007:443":{"protocol":"tcp","matchPort":4007,"targetPort":443}}}}
}
A proxy that is configured with this config file will configure firewall rules
to route cluster traffic to the tailnet targets. It will then watch the config file
for updates as well as monitor relevant netmap updates and reconfigure firewall
as needed.
This adds a bunch of new iptables/nftables functionality to make it easier to dynamically update
the firewall rules without needing to restart the proxy Pod as well as to make
it easier to debug/understand the rules:
- for iptables, each portmapping is a DNAT rule with a comment pointing
at the 'service',i.e:
-A PREROUTING ! -i tailscale0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 4006 -m comment --comment "some-svc:tcp:4006 -> tcp:80" -j DNAT --to-destination 100.64.1.18:80
Additionally there is a SNAT rule for each tailnet target, to mask the source address.
- for nftables, a separate prerouting chain is created for each tailnet target
and all the portmapping rules are placed in that chain. This makes it easier
to look up rules and delete services when no longer needed.
(nftables allows hooking a custom chain to a prerouting hook, so no extra work
is needed to ensure that the rules in the service chains are evaluated).
The next steps will be to get the Kubernetes Operator to generate
the configfile and ensure it is mounted to the relevant proxy nodes.

Rename kube/{types,client,api} -> kube/{kubetypes,kubeclient,kubeapi}
so that we don't need to rename the package on each import to
