Tom Proctor d4c5b278b3 cmd/k8s-operator: support workload identity federation
The feature is currently in private alpha, so requires a tailnet feature
flag. Initially focuses on supporting the operator's own auth, because the
operator is the only device we maintain that uses static long-lived
credentials. All other operator-created devices use single-use auth keys.

Testing steps:

* Create a cluster with an API server accessible over public internet
* kubectl get --raw /.well-known/openid-configuration | jq '.issuer'
* Create a federated OAuth client in the Tailscale admin console with:
  * The issuer from the previous step
  * Subject claim `system:serviceaccount:tailscale:operator`
  * Write scopes services, devices:core, auth_keys
  * Tag tag:k8s-operator
* Allow the Tailscale control plane to get the public portion of
  the ServiceAccount token signing key without authentication:
  * kubectl create clusterrolebinding oidc-discovery \
      --clusterrole=system:service-account-issuer-discovery \
      --group=system:unauthenticated
* helm install --set oauth.clientId=... --set oauth.audience=...

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 1.25. (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.
