Don't send a full update when a subnet router goes up or down; the gated
policy change already recomputes peers and is a smaller payload.
Updates #3293
Regenerate capver for tailscale v1.98 — `MinSupportedCapabilityVersion`
slides 109 → 113 (v1.78 → v1.80). v1.80+ clients understand
`Node.HomeDERP`, which superseded `LegacyDERPString` upstream at capver
111. Drops the emit, plumbing, the trip-wire that caught this cleanup,
the golden test fixtures, and the integration check on
`peer.LegacyDERPString()` — the sibling `HomeDERP` check covers intent.
`v1.98` was added by hand to `capver_generated.go` because tailscale
skipped publishing v1.97/v1.98 to ghcr until late in the cycle; a clean
regeneration produces the same content.
Every Go-identifier reference in // and /* */ comments now uses
godoc's [Name] linking syntax so pkg.go.dev and `go doc` render
them as clickable cross-references. No behaviour change.
Pattern applied across the tree:
In-package [Foo], [Foo.Bar]
Cross-package [pkg.Foo], [pkg.Foo.Bar]
Stdlib [netip.Prefix], [errors.Is], [context.Context]
Tailscale [tailcfg.MapResponse], [tailcfg.Node.CapMap],
[tailcfg.NodeAttrSuggestExitNode]
Skip rules:
- File:line refs left as plain text
- HuJSON wire keys inside backtick raw strings untouched
- ACL/policy syntax tokens (tag:foo, autogroup:self, ...) not Go
symbols, left as plain text
- JSON/OIDC wire keys, gorm tags, RFC IPv6 placeholders, markdown
link tags, decorative dividers — all left as-is
chi middleware.RealIP was mounted unconditionally on both the
public router and the noise router, so any client could send
X-Real-IP or X-Forwarded-For and have the spoofed value land in
r.RemoteAddr and the access-log remote= field.
Add a top-level trusted_proxies config option (list of CIDRs) and
replace middleware.RealIP with a gated middleware that:
- honours True-Client-IP / X-Real-IP / X-Forwarded-For only when
r.RemoteAddr is inside one of the configured prefixes;
- strips those three headers from every request whose peer is
not trusted, so downstream handlers cannot read them.
X-Forwarded-For is parsed via realclientip-go's
RightmostTrustedRangeStrategy so a prepended value cannot win in a
proxy chain. trustedProxies() rejects 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0 at config
load.
Empty trusted_proxies (the default) skips the mount entirely;
r.RemoteAddr is the directly-connecting TCP peer.
Endpoints, Tags and ApprovedRoutes serialize as JSON on Node. GORM's
struct Updates path skips fields it considers zero, and reflect treats
a nil slice as zero — clearing any of these columns via the State
persist path would leave the previous value in the database.
Introduce Strings, Prefixes and AddrPorts as named slice types whose
IsZero() always reports false, so GORM keeps the column in the UPDATE
regardless of the slice being nil or empty. JSON marshalling is
unchanged: nil serializes to null, empty to []. List() returns the
underlying unnamed slice for callers (mainly testify assertions over
reflect.DeepEqual) that distinguish the named type from its base.
Regenerated types_clone.go and types_view.go follow the field-type
swap. Test assertions across hscontrol/{db,state,servertest} updated
to call .List() where reflect.DeepEqual previously matched the raw
slice type.
Fixes#3110
When a node carries the disable-ipv4 nodeAttr documented at
https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/troubleshooting/network-configuration/cgnat-conflicts,
SaaS stops sending the node's CGNAT IPv4 prefix in MapResponse. The
allocator keeps assigning IPv4 server-side; only the wire-shape
delivery is filtered. Subnet routes the node advertises -- including
IPv4 prefixes -- survive in AllowedIPs and PrimaryRoutes.
TailNode now drops Is4 prefixes from Addresses and from the node's
own /32 slot in AllowedIPs when selfPolicyCaps carries
disable-ipv4. Mapper.buildTailPeers passes each peer's policy
CapMap so the filter applies in viewer netmaps too; the CapMap
merge that follows is overwritten by PeerCapMap so only the address
filter survives on the peer path.
Two captures land in testdata/nodeattrs_results to anchor the
behaviour:
- nodeattrs-attr-c15-disable-ipv4 (on tag:client)
- nodeattrs-attr-c16-disable-ipv4-router (on tag:router, which
advertises 10.33.0.0/16, confirming subnet routes survive)
Tailscale stamps tailcfg.NodeAttrDefaultAutoUpdate on every node's
CapMap with a JSON bool reflecting the tailnet-wide auto-update
default. Headscale grows an auto_update.enabled config option and
emits the cap accordingly from TailNode -- the cap leaves the
unmodelledTailnetStateCaps strip list and is compared in full by the
nodeAttrs compat suite.
testNodeAttrsSuccess drives cfg.AutoUpdate.Enabled from
tf.Input.Tailnet.Settings.DevicesAutoUpdatesOn so each capture's
expected emission matches the SaaS state it was taken under. Two
captures cover both branches:
- nodeattrs-tailnet-devices-auto-updates-on -> [true]
- nodeattrs-tailnet-devices-auto-updates-off -> [false]
The Tailscale v2 TailnetSettings API does not expose the Send Files
toggle, so the compat suite cannot vary cfg.Taildrop.Enabled per
capture. TestTaildropDisabledWithholdsFileSharingCap covers the off
path directly in servertest.
Taildrive (drive:share and drive:access) is policy-driven per
Tailscale's documented behaviour
(https://tailscale.com/docs/features/taildrive). The previous
always-on baseline emission diverged from SaaS for every node not
targeted by a drive nodeAttr -- a real semantic divergence that the
compat suite caught once the test moved to comparing TailNode output
against the captured netmaps.
types.Node.TailNode no longer stamps the drive pair. Operators
wanting taildrive add a nodeAttrs entry:
"nodeAttrs": [
{ "target": ["*"], "attr": ["drive:share", "drive:access"] }
]
unmodelledTailnetStateCaps shrinks accordingly. The baseline-divergence
group is gone; every entry left in the list is genuinely unmodelled
(user-role caps, unimplemented features, tailnet metadata, internal
tuning).
servertest's TestNodeAttrsBaselineCapsAlwaysOn expects the smaller
baseline (admin + ssh + file-sharing). Integration TestGrantCapDrive
grants the drive caps explicitly via NodeAttrs to exercise the
policy-driven emission path.
types.NodeView.TailNode takes a selfPolicyCaps tailcfg.NodeCapMap
parameter and merges it into the baseline. The mapper's WithSelfNode
hands it the policy result via state.NodeCapMap; peer-path callers
pass nil because peer-side CapMap is set downstream via
policyv2.PeerCapMap.
The nodeAttrs compat test now diffs the full TailNode self-view
output against captured SaaS netmaps. Before this change the test
compared compileNodeAttrs alone -- the policy-only output -- and
needed a strip list to compensate for the missing baseline. With
TailNode on the diff path, baseline emission is exercised end-to-end
by every capture; a regression in TailNode breaks the suite.
unmodelledTailnetStateCaps drops cap/ssh and cap/file-sharing now
that both sides emit them identically. The file header is rewritten
to read as 'caps SaaS emits where headscale has no equivalent yet'
rather than the more confusing 'shape divergence' framing.
Adds a data-driven test that loads testdata/nodeattrs_results/*.hujson
and diffs the captured SaaS-rendered netmaps against headscale's
compileNodeAttrs output. Each capture is one scenario the SaaS
control plane has rendered against the same policy headscale is asked
to compile -- the test enforces shape parity per node.
tailnet_state_caps.go enumerates the caps SaaS emits where headscale
has no equivalent concept yet (user-role admin/owner, tailnet lock,
services host, app connectors, internal magicsock and SSH tuning,
tailnet-state metadata) plus the always-on baseline (admin, ssh,
file-sharing) and the taildrive pair. stripUnmodelledTailnetStateCaps
filters both sides of cmp.Diff so the comparison focuses on the
policy-driven caps. PeerCapMap encodes which caps the Tailscale
client reads from the peer view (suggest-exit-node when exit routes
are approved, etc.) for use by the mapper.
testcapture switches to typed tailcfg/netmap/filtertype/apitype
values so schema drift between the capture tool and headscale
becomes a compile error rather than a silent test failure. Existing
compat suites (acl, grants, routes, ssh, issue_3212) move to the
typed shape.
The 53 SelfNode netmap captures and the 7 anonymizer-corrupted
suggest-charmander -> suggest-exit-node restorations in
routes_results / issue_3212 ride along.
Tailscale models the randomize-client-port toggle as a top-level
field on the ACL policy. Headscale now matches that shape: the
server-config randomize_client_port key is removed, the toggle
lives in the policy file as randomizeClientPort, and per-node
opt-in via nodeAttrs is also supported.
Operators upgrading from a config-set randomize_client_port hit
depr.fatalWithHint at startup, which prints the deprecation message
and points at the new policy field rather than silently dropping
the toggle. The default carries over (false) so operators who never
set it are unaffected. config-example.yaml ships a REMOVED stanza
showing the migration.
types/node.go drops the cfg.RandomizeClientPort read from
TailNode -- the cap is now policy-driven through compileNodeAttrs
and the tail_test.go expectations follow.
Some OIDC providers (notably JumpCloud) return the `groups` claim as
a plain string when the user belongs to a single group, rather than
a single-element array:
Single group: {"groups": "MyGroup"}
Multiple groups: {"groups": ["Group1", "Group2"]}
This causes `json.Unmarshal` to fail with:
cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field OIDCClaims.groups of type []string
This is the same class of issue as juanfont#2293 (FlexibleBoolean for
email_verified). The fix follows the same pattern: introduce a
FlexibleStringSlice type with a custom UnmarshalJSON that accepts
both a string and a []string, and use it for the Groups field in
both OIDCClaims and OIDCUserInfo.
Ingest (registration and MapRequest updates) now calls
dnsname.SanitizeHostname directly and lets NodeStore auto-bump on
collision. Admin rename uses dnsname.ValidLabel + SetGivenName so
conflicts are surfaced to the caller instead of silently mutated.
Three duplicate invalidDNSRegex definitions, the old NormaliseHostname
and ValidateHostname helpers, EnsureHostname, InvalidString,
ApplyHostnameFromHostInfo, GivenNameHasBeenChanged, generateGivenName
and EnsureUniqueGivenName are removed along with their tests.
ValidateHostname's username half is retained as ValidateUsername for
users.go.
The SaaS-matching collision rule replaces the random "invalid-xxxxxx"
fallback and the 8-character hash suffix; the empty-input fallback is
the literal "node". TestUpdateHostnameFromClient now exercises the
rewrite end-to-end with awkward macOS/Windows names.

change.Merge keeps the first PingRequest seen when merging, which
means a later probe's callback URL is silently dropped if a stale merge
is in-flight. Document the contract at Merge and at doPing so callers
know to serialise probes.
Updates #3157
Typed Capture/Input/Node/Topology structs for golden SaaS captures.
Schema drift between the tscap capture tool and headscale now becomes a
compile error instead of a silent test pass.
Updates #3157
Tests were dumping megabytes of zerolog output on failure; silence
at init and let individual tests opt in via SetGlobalLevel when they need
log-driven assertions.
Updates #3157
CanAccess now treats a node's advertised subnet routes as part of
its source identity, so an ACL granting the subnet-owner as source lets
traffic from the subnet through. Matches SaaS semantics.
Updates #3157
Ping HA subnet routers each probe cycle and mark unresponsive nodes
unhealthy. Reconnecting a node clears its unhealthy state since the
fresh Noise session proves basic connectivity.
Updates #2129
Updates #2902
Unit tests for Change (IsEmpty, Merge, Type, PingNode constructor),
ping tracker (register/complete/cancel lifecycle, concurrency, latency),
and end-to-end servertests exercising the full round-trip with real
controlclient.Direct instances.
Updates #2902
Updates #2129
Implement tailcfg.PingRequest support so the control server can verify
whether a connected node is still reachable. This is the foundation for
faster offline detection (currently ~16min due to Go HTTP/2 TCP retransmit
behavior) and future C2N communication.
The server sends a PingRequest via MapResponse with a unique callback
URL. The Tailscale client responds with a HEAD request to that URL,
proving connectivity. Round-trip latency is measured.
Wire PingRequest through the Change → Batcher → MapResponse pipeline,
add a ping tracker on State for correlating requests with responses,
add ResolveNode for looking up nodes by ID/IP/hostname, and expose a
/debug/ping page (elem-go form UI) and /machine/ping-response endpoint.
Updates #2902
Updates #2129
Render an interstitial showing device hostname, OS, and machine-key
fingerprint before finalising OIDC registration. The user must POST
to /register/confirm/{auth_id} with a CSRF double-submit cookie.
Removes the TODO at oidc.go:201.
Add json:"-" to PostgresConfig.Pass, OIDCConfig.ClientSecret, and
CLIConfig.APIKey so they are excluded from json.Marshal output
(e.g. the /debug/config endpoint).
SSHActionHandler now verifies that the Noise session's machine key
matches the dst node before proceeding. The (src, dst) pair is
captured at hold-and-delegate time via a new SSHCheckBinding on
AuthRequest so sshActionFollowUp can verify the follow-up URL
matches. The OIDC non-registration callback requires the
authenticated user to own the src node before approving.
Replace zcache with golang-lru/v2/expirable for both the state auth
cache and the OIDC state cache. Add tuning.register_cache_max_entries
(default 1024) to cap the number of pending registration entries.
Introduce types.RegistrationData to replace caching a full *Node;
only the fields the registration callback path reads are retained.
Remove the dead HSDatabase.regCache field. Drop zgo.at/zcache/v2
from go.mod.
Merging two changes targeted at different nodes is not supported
because the result can only carry one TargetNode. The second
target's content would be silently misrouted.
Add a panic guard that catches this at the Merge call site rather
than allowing silent data loss. In production, Merge is only called
with broadcast changes (TargetNode=0) so the guard acts as
insurance against future misuse.
url.JoinPath resolves path-traversal segments like '..' and '.',
which silently drops the OIDC subject from the identifier. For
example, Iss='https://example.com' with Sub='..' produces
'https://example.com' — the subject is lost entirely. This causes
distinct OIDC users to receive colliding identifiers.
Replace url.JoinPath with simple string concatenation using a slash
separator. This preserves the subject literally regardless of its
content. url.PathEscape does not help because dots are valid URL
path characters and are not escaped.
Owner() on a non-tagged node with nil User returns an invalid
UserView that panics when Name() is called. Add a guard to return
an empty UserView{} when the user is not valid.
TailscaleUserID() calls UserID().Get() without checking Valid()
first, which panics on orphaned nodes (no tags, no UserID). Add a
validity check to return 0 for this invalid state.
Callers should check Owner().Valid() before accessing fields.
Merge copies the receiver by value, but the slice headers share the
backing array with the original. When append has spare capacity, it
writes through to the original's memory, and uniqueNodeIDs then
sorts that shared data in place.
Replace append with slices.Concat which always allocates a fresh
backing array, preventing mutation of the receiver's slices.
The nix dev shell refresh in 758fef9b pulled in protoc-gen-go-grpc
v1.6.1 and newer tailscale.com/cmd/{viewer,cloner}, so rerunning
`make generate` updates the version header comments in the three
affected generated files. No semantic changes.
Introduce a structured NodeConfig that replaces the flat
EphemeralNodeInactivityTimeout field with a nested Node section.
Add node.expiry config (default: no expiry) as the unified default key
expiry for all non-tagged nodes regardless of registration method.
Remove oidc.expiry entirely — node.expiry now applies to OIDC nodes
the same as all other registration methods. Using oidc.expiry in the
config is a hard error. determineNodeExpiry() returns nil (no expiry)
unless use_expiry_from_token is enabled, letting state.go apply the
node.expiry default uniformly.
The old ephemeral_node_inactivity_timeout key is preserved for
backwards compatibility.
Updates #1711
Add NodeAttrsTaildriveShare and NodeAttrsTaildriveAccess to the node capability map, enabling Taildrive file sharing when granted via policy. Add integration test verifying the full cap/drive grant lifecycle.
Updates #2180
Via grants steer routes to specific nodes per viewer. Until now,
all clients saw the same routes for each peer because route
assembly was viewer-independent. This implements per-viewer route
visibility so that via-designated peers serve routes only to
matching viewers, while non-designated peers have those routes
withdrawn.
Add ViaRouteResult type (Include/Exclude prefix lists) and
ViaRoutesForPeer to the PolicyManager interface. The v2
implementation iterates via grants, resolves sources against the
viewer, matches destinations against the peer's advertised routes
(both subnet and exit), and categorizes prefixes by whether the
peer has the via tag.
Add RoutesForPeer to State which composes global primary election,
via Include/Exclude filtering, exit routes, and ACL reduction.
When no via grants exist, it falls back to existing behavior.
Update the mapper to call RoutesForPeer per-peer instead of using
a single route function for all peers. The route function now
returns all routes (subnet + exit), and TailNode filters exit
routes out of the PrimaryRoutes field for HA tracking.
Updates #2180
AppendToIPSet now adds both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for nodes, matching Tailscale's FilterRule wire format where identity-based aliases (tags, users, groups, autogroups) resolve to both address families. Update ReduceFilterRules test expectations to include IPv6 entries.
