Add a --test-version flag to run the natlab VM tests against released tailscale/tailscaled binaries downloaded from pkgs.tailscale.com instead of building from the source tree. The value can be a concrete release like "1.97.255", or "stable" / "unstable" which resolve to the latest TarballsVersion on that track via pkgs.tailscale.com/<track>/?mode=json. The track for a concrete version is derived from its minor (even=stable, odd=unstable). The host architecture (amd64 or arm64) selects the tarball. Tarballs are cached + extracted under ~/.cache/tailscale-vmtest/builds/<version>_<arch>/ so they are not re-fetched per test. tta is still always built from the local tree. Cloud VMs (Ubuntu, Debian) pick up the downloaded binaries via the existing files.tailscale file server. Non-Linux GOOS (FreeBSD) falls back to building from source since pkgs.tailscale.com only ships Linux tarballs. Gokrazy nodes continue to use binaries baked into the gokrazy image; --test-version is a no-op for them.

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.
