Adds a CI check and Makefile target to keep opted-in directories'
README.md files in sync with their package godoc. For now tsnet (and
its sub-packages under tsnet/example) is the only opted-in tree. The
list of directories lives in misc/genreadme/genreadme.go as
defaultRoots, so CI and humans both just run `make genreadme` with no
arguments.
The genreadme workflow runs `make genreadme` and fails if any
README.md is out of date, pointing the user at the same command.
Along the way:
- tempfork/pkgdoc now emits Markdown instead of plain text: headings
become level-2 with no {#hdr-...} anchors, and [Symbol] doc links
resolve to pkg.go.dev URLs, including for symbols in the current
package (which the default Printer would otherwise emit as bare
#Name fragments with no backing anchor in a README). Parsing no
longer uses parser.ImportsOnly, so doc.Package knows the package's
symbols and can resolve [Symbol] links at all.
- genreadme also emits a pkg.go.dev Go Reference badge at the top of
a library package's README; suppressed for package main.
- tsnet/tsnet.go's package godoc is expanded in idiomatic godoc
syntax — [Type], [Type.Method], reference-style [link]: URL
definitions — rather than Markdown-flavored [text](url) or
backtick-quoted identifiers, so that both pkg.go.dev and the
generated README.md render cleanly from a single source.

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.
