Brad Fitzpatrick 0bc0cb8131 tstest/natlab/vmtest: retry SSHExec on transient SSH failures
Add a retry loop with BatchMode=yes to absorb the race window
between Env.Start() returning (when tta reports the tailscale
backend as Running) and cloud-init finishing the user/SSH-key
setup. In CI, the second VM's tta agent has been observed
connecting only a few hundred milliseconds before the test SSHes
in, which is inside the window where /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
hasn't fully landed yet. SSH key auth then fails and ssh(1) falls
back to interactive password prompts (3x), wasting time and
producing a confusing "Permission denied (publickey,password)"
error.

BatchMode=yes makes the client fail fast on auth failure instead
of prompting, and the retry loop handles SSH transport-level
errors (exit code 255) for up to 30 seconds with 500ms backoff.
Remote command non-zero exits still pass through unchanged.

Fixes #20228

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:

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 1.26. (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 commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
