#tsnet
🎉🎉 I've been working with the folk at Tailscale on their new #rust-lang library. Last week it was officially announced (tailscale.com/blog/tailsca...) along with open-sourcing the code (github.com/tailscale/ta...).

I'm working with Tailscale, and have helped their Rust team ramp-up on Rust and release their Tailscale Rust library: tailscale.com/blog/tailsca.... If you want that kind of help to make your #RustLang adoption a success, I currently have availability for another client

I wonder if an open source password manager integrated tailcat or tsnet or libtailscale-rs, if that would make adoption easier for more people.

And while I was doing operating systems whose names match /^R.*OS$/ ....

Tailscale on ReactOS! (reactos.org)

It's like an open source Windows XP. Go toolchain + std require Win10+, and ReactOS is pre-Win7, so Go needed changes.

Then ran a tsnet server on it, serving its own screenshot:

Tailscale has a lot of cool features I didn't know about until I joined, but tsnet (https://tailscale.com/kb/1244/tsnet) is one of the best. With tsnet I can write Go apps that have Tailscale built in. Makes creating internal services so easy. Even on the free plan.

Tailscale Services is now generally available.

Publish internal resources as named, identity-aware services instead of wiring clients to machines or IPs. Now app-aware with tsnet, Kubernetes support, and better observability.

... also now:

Tailscale running on UEFI on AWS EC2. No kernel. No OS. (Tamago)

Had to port AWS ENA drivers to Go (from FreeBSD, DPDK, Amazon spec)

Also fun: it's using UEFI variables as its ipn.StateStore, so you can reboot the instance and it's still logged in.

This was a PITA even with AI.

Rust News 🦀

Tailscale released tailscale-rs, a new Rust library (with Python/Elixir/C bindings) for embedding secure Tailscale networking directly into apps, as a safer, runtime-light alternative to Go's tsnet.

I just released nats-tsnet on @github.com.

A single-binary NATS JetStream server that runs entirely over @tailscale.com tsnet with automatic peer discovery. Useful for private distributed messaging with encrypted networking, secure transport, and minimal ops overhead.

A deep dive into my home grown cocktail recipe app which speaks Tailscale natively using tsnet, and serves up delicious drinks direct to your tailnet. Libations is built with Go, Nix and Vanilla…

Ever thought about building an app with Tailscale? We walk through how tsidp was built with tsnet, app grants, and Funnel.

tsnet by @tailscale.com is excellent! It exposes a lightweight HTTP server that integrates seamlessly with `net/http` in your Go code.

And Just like that, your service has TLS and is accessible from your Tailnet. If you want to make it public, you can simply use Tailscale Funnel.

I'm experimenting with @tailscale.com 's tsnet, and it appears to have no issue running multiple nodes with different backends at the same time in the same go process.

I have one node connected to the default ts backend and one on an instance of headscale.net I have running in a VM.

Good job TS! 👍

Workload identity federation is now GA in Tailscale.

CI, cloud, and Kubernetes workloads can authenticate using native OIDC identities instead of long-lived secrets, with API, Terraform, and tsnet support.

Tailscale's community takes our secure connectivity and runs it to interesting places. One example: Chat-tails, an old-school, terminal-based chat app: tailscale.com/blog/chat-ta...

Brian Scott made an app that's safe, simple, and educational for kids to chat in, using Tailscale's tsnet and connectivity.

The real fun would be linking the PDS software with Tailscale’s tsnet library so it just naturally can talk to anything else on your tailnet or vice versa, without having to install Tailscale at the OS level.

I cooked up something even crazier than tsnet in October that'll make an appearance eventually here. 😉

Something I didn't cover is that I run foryou.club on my home PC as well. And when I do atproto OAuth I make outbound connections through tailscale.com/tsnet with my VPS as the exit node. This also protects my home ip address.

Ever wanted to access services running in Hashicorp Nomad over @tailscale.com , now you can!

github.com/pims/nomats

This is very much proof-of-concept and definitely not something you should use in any kind of production setting, for now at least.

Rumor has it that the @bsky.app folks use @tailscale.com. I'm stuck with a local development issue that involves having a magicdns'd stock atproto pds instance connecting back to an app. Local PDS and PLC work fine, but PDS won't resolve or connect out to some* tsnet apps.

Looking for help.

I have good news! My Tailscale Up, talk "The Subtle Magic of tsnet" is now available as a writeup with slides embedded or on YouTube should you want to watch it that way.

I still have availability for consulting/coaching on Rust adoption. I help teams adopt Rust successfully and use it effectively. E.g., Tailscale (tailscale.com/blog/tailsca...) who I'm currently working with.
