This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

This commit contains the implementation of multi-tailnet support within the Kubernetes Operator
Each of our custom resources now expose the `spec.tailnet` field. This field is a string that must match the name of an existing `Tailnet` resource. A `Tailnet` resource looks like this:
```yaml
apiVersion: tailscale.com/v1alpha1
kind: Tailnet
metadata:
name: example # This is the name that must be referenced by other resources
spec:
credentials:
secretName: example-oauth
```
Each `Tailnet` references a `Secret` resource that contains a set of oauth credentials. This secret must be created in the same namespace as the operator:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: example-oauth # This is the name that's referenced by the Tailnet resource.
namespace: tailscale
stringData:
client_id: "client-id"
client_secret: "client-secret"
```
When created, the operator performs a basic check that the oauth client has access to all required scopes. This is done using read actions on devices, keys & services. While this doesn't capture a missing "write" permission, it catches completely missing permissions. Once this check passes, the `Tailnet` moves into a ready state and can be referenced. Attempting to use a `Tailnet` in a non-ready state will stall the deployment of `Connector`s, `ProxyGroup`s and `Recorder`s until the `Tailnet` becomes ready.
The `spec.tailnet` field informs the operator that a `Connector`, `ProxyGroup`, or `Recorder` must be given an auth key generated using the specified oauth client. For backwards compatibility, the set of credentials the operator is configured with are considered the default. That is, where `spec.tailnet` is not set, the resource will be deployed in the same tailnet as the operator.
Updates https://github.com/tailscale/corp/issues/34561
Adds a new reconciler for ProxyGroups of type kube-apiserver that will
provision a Tailscale Service for each replica to advertise. Adds two
new condition types to the ProxyGroup, TailscaleServiceValid and
TailscaleServiceConfigured, to post updates on the state of that
reconciler in a way that's consistent with the service-pg reconciler.
The created Tailscale Service name is configurable via a new ProxyGroup
field spec.kubeAPISserver.ServiceName, which expects a string of the
form "svc:<dns-label>".
Lots of supporting changes were needed to implement this in a way that's
consistent with other operator workflows, including:
* Pulled containerboot's ensureServicesUnadvertised and certManager into
kube/ libraries to be shared with k8s-proxy. Use those in k8s-proxy to
aid Service cert sharing between replicas and graceful Service shutdown.
* For certManager, add an initial wait to the cert loop to wait until
the domain appears in the devices's netmap to avoid a guaranteed error
on the first issue attempt when it's quick to start.
* Made several methods in ingress-for-pg.go and svc-for-pg.go into
functions to share with the new reconciler
* Added a Resource struct to the owner refs stored in Tailscale Service
annotations to be able to distinguish between Ingress- and ProxyGroup-
based Services that need cleaning up in the Tailscale API.
* Added a ListVIPServices method to the internal tailscale client to aid
cleaning up orphaned Services
* Support for reading config from a kube Secret, and partial support for
config reloading, to prevent us having to force Pod restarts when
config changes.
* Fixed up the zap logger so it's possible to set debug log level.

The observed generation was set to always 0 in #16429, but this had the
knock-on effect of other controllers considering ProxyGroups never ready
because the observed generation is never up to date in
proxyGroupCondition. Make sure the ProxyGroupAvailable function does not
requires the observed generation to be up to date, and add testing
coverage to catch regressions.

Previously, the operator checked the ProxyGroup status fields for
information on how many of the proxies had successfully authed. Use
their state Secrets instead as a more reliable source of truth.
containerboot has written device_fqdn and device_ips keys to the
state Secret since inception, and pod_uid since 1.78.0, so there's
no need to use the API for that data. Read it from the state Secret
for consistency. However, to ensure we don't read data from a
previous run of containerboot, make sure we reset containerboot's
state keys on startup.
One other knock-on effect of that is ProxyGroups can briefly be
marked not Ready while a Pod is restarting. Introduce a new
ProxyGroupAvailable condition to more accurately reflect
when downstream controllers can implement flows that rely on a
ProxyGroup having at least 1 proxy Pod running.

cmd/{containerboot,k8s-operator},kube: add preshutdown hook for egress PG proxies
This change is part of work towards minimizing downtime during update
rollouts of egress ProxyGroup replicas.
This change:
- updates the containerboot health check logic to return Pod IP in headers,
if set
- always runs the health check for egress PG proxies
- updates ClusterIP Services created for PG egress endpoints to include
the health check endpoint
- implements preshutdown endpoint in proxies. The preshutdown endpoint
logic waits till, for all currently configured egress services, the ClusterIP
Service health check endpoint is no longer returned by the shutting-down Pod
(by looking at the new Pod IP header).
- ensures that kubelet is configured to call the preshutdown endpoint
This reduces the possibility that, as replicas are terminated during an update,
a replica gets terminated to which cluster traffic is still being routed via
the ClusterIP Service because kube proxy has not yet updated routig rules.
This is not a perfect check as in practice, it only checks that the kube
proxy on the node on which the proxy runs has updated rules. However, overall
this might be good enough.
The preshutdown logic is disabled if users have configured a custom health check
port via TS_LOCAL_ADDR_PORT env var. This change throws a warnign if so and in
future setting of that env var for operator proxies might be disallowed (as users
shouldn't need to configure this for a Pod directly).
This is backwards compatible with earlier proxy versions.

This is the start of an integration/e2e test suite for the tailscale operator.
It currently only tests two major features, ingress proxy and API server proxy,
but we intend to expand it to cover more features over time. It also only
supports manual runs for now. We intend to integrate it into CI checks in a
separate update when we have planned how to securely provide CI with the secrets
required for connecting to a test tailnet.

but will stop mounting them and instead read them directly from the kube
API once #13578 is implemented.

Adds a new reconciler that reconciles ExternalName Services that define a
tailnet target that should be exposed to cluster workloads on a ProxyGroup's
proxies.
The reconciler ensures that for each such service, the config mounted to
the proxies is updated with the tailnet target definition and that
and EndpointSlice and ClusterIP Service are created for the service.
Adds a new reconciler that ensures that as proxy Pods become ready to route
traffic to a tailnet target, the EndpointSlice for the target is updated
with the Pods' endpoints.

cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator,kube: Add TSRecorder CRD + controller
Deploys tsrecorder images to the operator's cluster. S3 storage is
configured via environment variables from a k8s Secret. Currently
only supports a single tsrecorder replica, but I've tried to take early
steps towards supporting multiple replicas by e.g. having a separate
secret for auth and state storage.

Adds a new TailscaleProxyReady condition type for use in corev1.Service
conditions.
Also switch our CRDs to use metav1.Condition instead of
ConnectorCondition. The Go structs are seralized identically, but it
updates some descriptions and validation rules. Update k8s
controller-tools and controller-runtime deps to fix the documentation
generation for metav1.Condition so that it excludes comments and
TODOs.
Stop expecting the fake client to populate TypeMeta in tests. See
kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime#2633 for details of the change.
Finally, make some minor improvements to validation for service hostnames.

* cmd/k8s-nameserver,k8s-operator: add a nameserver that can resolve ts.net DNS names in cluster.
Adds a simple nameserver that can respond to A record queries for ts.net DNS names.
It can respond to queries from in-memory records, populated from a ConfigMap
mounted at /config. It dynamically updates its records as the ConfigMap
contents changes.
It will respond with NXDOMAIN to queries for any other record types
(AAAA to be implemented in the future).
It can respond to queries over UDP or TCP. It runs a miekg/dns
DNS server with a single registered handler for ts.net domain names.
Queries for other domain names will be refused.
The intended use of this is:
1) to allow non-tailnet cluster workloads to talk to HTTPS tailnet
services exposed via Tailscale operator egress over HTTPS
2) to allow non-tailnet cluster workloads to talk to workloads in
the same cluster that have been exposed to tailnet over their
MagicDNS names but on their cluster IPs.
DNSConfig CRD can be used to configure
the operator to deploy kube nameserver (./cmd/k8s-nameserver) to cluster.

* cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator: introduce proxy configuration mechanism via ProxyClass custom resource.
ProxyClass custom resource can be used to specify customizations
for the proxy resources created by the operator.
Add a reconciler that validates ProxyClass resources
and sets a Ready condition to True or False with a corresponding reason and message.
This is required because some fields (labels and annotations)
require complex validations that cannot be performed at custom resource apply time.
Reconcilers that use the ProxyClass to configure proxy resources are expected to
verify that the ProxyClass is Ready and not proceed with resource creation
if configuration from a ProxyClass that is not yet Ready is required.
If a tailscale ingress/egress Service is annotated with a tailscale.com/proxy-class annotation, look up the corresponding ProxyClass and, if it is Ready, apply the configuration from the ProxyClass to the proxy's StatefulSet.
If a tailscale Ingress has a tailscale.com/proxy-class annotation
and the referenced ProxyClass custom resource is available and Ready,
apply configuration from the ProxyClass to the proxy resources
that will be created for the Ingress.
Add a new .proxyClass field to the Connector spec.
If connector.spec.proxyClass is set to a ProxyClass that is available and Ready,
apply configuration from the ProxyClass to the proxy resources created for the Connector.
Ensure that when Helm chart is packaged, the ProxyClass yaml is added to chart templates. Ensure that static manifest generator adds ProxyClass yaml to operator.yaml. Regenerate operator.yaml

* k8s-operator,cmd/k8s-operator,Makefile,scripts,.github/workflows: add Connector kube CRD.
Connector CRD allows users to configure the Tailscale Kubernetes operator
to deploy a subnet router to expose cluster CIDRs or
other CIDRs available from within the cluster
to their tailnet.
Also adds various CRD related machinery to
generate CRD YAML, deep copy implementations etc.
Engineers will now have to run
'make kube-generate-all` after changing kube files
to ensure that all generated files are up to date.
* cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator: reconcile Connector resources
Reconcile Connector resources, create/delete subnetrouter resources in response to changes to Connector(s).
Connector reconciler will not be started unless
ENABLE_CONNECTOR env var is set to true.
This means that users who don't want to use the alpha
Connector custom resource don't have to install the Connector
CRD to their cluster.
For users who do want to use it the flow is:
- install the CRD
- install the operator (via Helm chart or using static manifests).
For Helm users set .values.enableConnector to true, for static
manifest users, set ENABLE_CONNECTOR to true in the static manifest.
