Add a new modular syslog feature providing a tailscaled --syslog flag that sends the daemon's logs to the system syslog daemon instead of stderr, which is useful when running as a daemon without a service manager that captures stderr (e.g. OpenWrt's procd). The feature package registers two new hooks: one to register its flag before flag parsing, and one that tailscaled calls early in main to redirect the standard library's default logger. Because logpolicy later points the default logger at logtail, whose local console copy writes to stderr, logpolicy now also consults the hook and sends its console copy to the same sink (with timestamps disabled, as syslog records its own). The feature is linked by default only on Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD, and can be removed with the ts_omit_syslog build tag. If connecting to the syslog daemon fails at startup, tailscaled logs a warning and continues logging to stderr.

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.
