Adds nix/darwin/tests/ci/, a self-contained test that:
- boots Headscale on 127.0.0.1:8080 (HTTP, sqlite, ephemeral state,
embedded DERP server)
- creates two preauth keys (alpha and beta users)
- applies a darwinConfiguration via
`sudo nix run github:LnL7/nix-darwin -- switch` against
services.tailscales.{alpha,beta}
- waits for the per-instance daemon agents to load and their
sockets to answer
- runs `tailscale-<inst> up --reset --auth-key` and polls each
instance for BackendState=Running
- asserts per-instance UserID, socket, and state-file isolation
- tears down the agents and Headscale on exit
The test flake lives separately so the main flake stays free of a
nix-darwin input — users importing darwinModules.tailscales are not
forced to pull nix-darwin transitively. `nix.enable = false` lets the
config coexist with the DeterminateSystems Nix install on the runner.
Wires the test into a new .github/workflows/nix.yml: a cheap
flake-check-linux job gates `nix flake check --no-build` (catches the
existing darwin-eval and NixOS module regressions), and darwin-e2e
runs the orchestration on macos-latest only after the eval gate
passes. Failed runs upload Tailscale and Headscale log tails as
artifacts.
Updates nix/darwin/tests/README.md to document the new harness and
how to run it locally on a Mac.

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.
