This repository contains the snap package sources for Tailscale.
For user documentation for the snap, please see Tailscale on the Snap Store. See below for developer documentation.
You can build the snap locally with:
snapcraft --use-lxd
Then install it (dangerous mode is required for locally built snaps):
sudo snap install --dangerous ./tailscale_*.snap
In dangerous mode, these interfaces are not automatically connected, so they must be manually connected:
sudo snap connect tailscale:firewall-control
sudo snap connect tailscale:network-control
sudo snap connect tailscale:sys-devices-virtual-dmi-ids
Once the interfaces are connected, then you must restart the tailscaled service (it will have failed without the interfaces):
sudo snap restart tailscale
Now you can manage tailscale with the tailscale command:
tailscale status
Other snaps can access tailscaled via its unix socket through the tailscale:socket slot.
This slot exposes a content interface, which will be a directory containing the tailscaled.sock socket file.
For example, if there is a snap called derper,
and it has this plug definition:
plugs:
tailscale-socket:
interface: content
content: socket-directory
target: $SNAP_COMMON/tailscale-socket
Then you can integrate derper with tailscale like this:
$ sudo snap connect derper:tailscale-socket tailscale:socket
And the tailscaled socket will be available to the derper snap
as $SNAP_COMMON/tailscale-socket/tailscaled.sock.
