## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Deploy on NixOS
|
|
|
|
Use the exported NixOS module from this repository:
|
|
|
|
- `nixosModules.tailscalesd`
|
|
|
|
Provide secrets via systemd credentials (`LoadCredential`) through:
|
|
|
|
- `services.tailscalesd.credentials.bearerTokenFile`
|
|
- `services.tailscalesd.credentials.clientIdFile`
|
|
- `services.tailscalesd.credentials.clientSecretFile`
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
Configuration values can be set using environment variables, or optionally loaded from an environment file. The settings include:
|
|
|
|
- **host** (`TAILSCALESD_HOST`): The host address on which the application will bind (designed to be used in a container, BE CAREFUL!). Default is `0.0.0.0`.
|
|
- **port** (`TAILSCALESD_PORT`): The port number on which the application will be accessible. Default is `9242`.
|
|
- **interval** (`TAILSCALESD_INTERVAL`): The interval on which the Tailscale API is polled in seconds. Default is `60`.
|
|
- **bearer_token** (`TAILSCALESD_BEARER_TOKEN`): The authentication token passed in the Authorization header (required).
|
|
- **tailnet** (`TAILSCALESD_TAILNET`): The Tailscale tailnet identifier (required).
|
|
- **client_id** (`TAILSCALESD_CLIENT_ID`): The Tailscale oauth client id (required).
|
|
- **client_secret** (`TAILSCALESD_CLIENT_SECRET`): The Tailscale oauth client secret (required).
|
|
- File-based secret alternatives:
|
|
- `TAILSCALESD_BEARER_TOKEN_FILE`
|
|
- `TAILSCALESD_CLIENT_ID_FILE`
|
|
- `TAILSCALESD_CLIENT_SECRET_FILE`
|
|
|
|
For systemd services, prefer `LoadCredential=` plus `%d` (runtime `CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY`) and set `TAILSCALESD_*_FILE` values to files under `%d`.
|
|
|
|
#### Environment File
|
|
|
|
You can also specify an environment file to load configuration values. The path to the environment file should be set in the `TAILSCALESD_ENV_FILE` environment variable. All of the config values can be provided in the env file.
|
|
|
|
**Example Environment File** (`env`):
|
|
|
|
```env
|
|
TAILSCALESD_TAILNET=my-tailnet
|
|
TAILSCALESD_CLIENT_ID=xxxx
|
|
TAILSCALESD_CLIENT_SECRET=yyyyy
|
|
TAILSCALESD_HOST=127.0.0.1
|
|
TAILSCALESD_BEARER_TOKEN=supersecret
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Monitoring
|
|
|
|
|
|
This service provides the following Prometheus metrics:
|
|
|
|
- `tailscalesd_unhandled_background_task_crashes`
|
|
- **Type**: Counter
|
|
- **Description**: The number of unhandled background task crashes. This counter increases every time a background task crashes without being handled by the application.
|
|
- `tailscalesd_matrix_sd_down`
|
|
- **Type**: Counter
|
|
- **Description**: The number times a matrix sd host was unreachable. This counter increments each time a connection attempt to a matrix sd host fails.
|
|
- **Labels**:
|
|
- `device_hostname`: The hostname of the device that was unreachable.
|
|
- `tailscalesd_polling_up`
|
|
- **Type**: Gauge
|
|
- **Description**: Indicates if tailscalesd can access the tailscale devices API up (1) or down (0)
|
|
|
|
It also provides HTTP server metrics from [trallnag/prometheus-fastapi-instrumentator](https://github.com/trallnag/prometheus-fastapi-instrumentator)
