James Scott 94fbb03352 logtail: add stateless generic UploadLogs (#20005)
Add UploadLogs, a stateless alternative to NewLogger for callers that
want to push a batch of log entries without the background uploader,
ring buffer, stderr echoing, or network-up gating that a Logger
provides. Entries are encoded, batched up to the server's maximum
upload size, and POSTed synchronously; unlike Logger it does not retry.

The Logger construction is split into a new unexported newLogger so the
connection/encode/upload machinery is shared without starting the
background goroutine.

Log entries are modeled as a generic LogEntry[T] whose Value is inlined
(via go-json-experiment) alongside the reserved "logtail" metadata
member. T may be a struct (or pointer), a map with a string key, or a
jsontext.Value; use jsontext.Value to mix differently-shaped payloads in
a single upload. UploadLogs fills in client_time/proc_id/proc_seq from
the Config where the caller leaves them zero.

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.
