James Tucker 9e396012a8 ssh/tailssh: stop killing session processes on graceful disconnects
Monitor teardown SIGHUPed and SIGKILLed every remembered child group
when the transport closed. sshd signals nothing at a non-PTY session
end; background jobs with redirected stdio survive and reparent to
init. Clients rely on that: VS Code Remote-SSH starts its remote
server as a plain background job in the session's group and expects
it to outlive connection drops, and tailscale upgrades run as
non-PTY execs whose work should survive a daemon restart.

Now only SSHTerminationError causes (revocation, session-duration,
recording failure) kill the process tree. Everything else — client
disconnect, daemon shutdown — closes I/O without signals: PTY masters
close and the driver SIGHUPs the foreground group, non-PTY processes
exit on EOF and SIGPIPE or keep running. Monitor teardown kills only
forwarding children, unless revocation armed the new kill-all op
first, since its per-session kicks race the close. No zombie leak:
the monitor reaps its table, and reparented survivors are reaped by
init.

Fixes #22076

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:

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 1.27. (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.
