When running `tailscale netcheck`, the reported timestamp used to be in UTC and formatted according to RFC 3339 with a `T` to separate the date from the time: sfllaw@h2co3:~$ tailscale netcheck | head -n3 Report: * Time: 2026-06-01T21:12:32.252620138Z This is machine-readable time leaking out to the user interface. Times in normal commands are formatted for humans to read: sfllaw@h2co3:~$ date Mon 01 Jun 2026 02:39:14 PM PDT sfllaw@h2co3:~$ journalctl -t tailscaled | tail -n1 Jun 01 14:35:21 h2co3 tailscaled[3328921]: wgengine: sending TSMP disco key advertisement to 100.90.144.102 sfllaw@h2co3:~$ timedatectl show Timezone=America/Los_Angeles LocalRTC=no CanNTP=yes NTP=yes NTPSynchronized=yes TimeUSec=Mon 2026-06-01 14:38:32 PDT RTCTimeUSec=Mon 2026-06-01 14:38:32 PDT sfllaw@h2co3:~$ uptime --since 2026-05-15 07:37:45 This PR makes the times printed by the CLI commands consistent: - For `tailscale routecheck`, it now prints local time as `2026-05-15 07:37:45-07:00`. - For `netlogfmt`, it has always printed local time with a space, but now includes the time zone. - All machine-readable outputs continue to be standard RFC 3339 in UTC, i.e. `--format=json`. As part of a general cleanup, this PR also adds standard common time.Format layouts as tstime constants. Fixes #19928 Signed-off-by: Simon Law <sfllaw@tailscale.com>
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 1.26. (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.
