The "vm" CI job ran a single test (TestRunUbuntu2404 from tstest/integration/vms) on a privileged self-hosted runner. Its coverage is nearly all redundant with the modern natlab vmtest suite, which boots real Ubuntu VMs and already exercises connectivity, kernel TUN, SSH, Taildrop, ACME, and OS DNS integration on GitHub-hosted runners. The two things it tested that natlab didn't are added back as natlab tests so the runner can be decommissioned: TestUbuntuSystemdUnit runs tailscaled via the stock systemd unit that Linux packages ship (cmd/tailscaled/tailscaled.service with tailscaled.defaults as its EnvironmentFile) instead of launching the binary directly, verifying the unit's directives and its Type=notify readiness handshake. TestDNSExtraRecordsSearchDomains verifies that control-plane DNS ExtraRecords and search domains are resolvable through the guest's OS resolver (libc to systemd-resolved to quad-100).

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.
