2026-03-05cmd/k8s-proxy: use L4 TCPForward instead of L7 HTTP proxy (#18179)Raj Singh1-1/+10
considerable latency was seen when using k8s-proxy with ProxyGroup in the kubernetes operator. Switching to L4 TCPForward solves this. Fixes tailscale#18171 Signed-off-by: chaosinthecrd <tom@tmlabs.co.uk> Co-authored-by: chaosinthecrd <tom@tmlabs.co.uk>
2026-03-05cmd/k8s-operator: remove deprecated TS_EXPERIMENTAL_KUBE_API_EVENTS (#18893)BeckyPauley1-22/+3
Remove the TS_EXPERIMENTAL_KUBE_API_EVENTS env var from the operator and its helm chart. This has already been marked as deprecated, and has been scheduled to be removed in release 1.96. Add a check in helm chart to fail if the removed variable is set to true, prompting users to move to ACLs instead. Fixes: #18875 Signed-off-by: Becky Pauley <becky@tailscale.com>
2026-01-23all: remove AUTHORS file and references to itWill Norris4-4/+4
This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in the history of Tailscale's open source releases. A Brief History of AUTHORS files --- The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact. The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The Chromium Authors". This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way for the proejct maintainer to know. Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors. They are also clear that: > Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the > project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership. It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright holders. In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so it's ambiguous what that means. Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which provides some additional certification of their right to make the contribution. The source file changes were purely mechanical with: git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g' Updates #cleanup Change-Id: Ia101a4a3005adb9118051b3416f5a64a4a45987d Signed-off-by: Will Norris <will@tailscale.com>

2025-08-22cmd/k8s-proxy,k8s-operator: fix serve config for userspace mode (#16919)Tom Proctor1-7/+23
The serve code leaves it up to the system's DNS resolver and netstack to figure out how to reach the proxy destination. Combined with k8s-proxy running in userspace mode, this means we can't rely on MagicDNS being available or tailnet IPs being routable. I'd like to implement that as a feature for serve in userspace mode, but for now the safer fix to get kube-apiserver ProxyGroups consistently working in all environments is to switch to using localhost as the proxy target instead. This has a small knock-on in the code that does WhoIs lookups, which now needs to check the X-Forwarded-For header that serve populates to get the correct tailnet IP to look up, because the request's remote address will be loopback.

2025-07-28k8s-operator: handle multiple WebSocket frames per read (#16678)Tom Proctor1-3/+3
When kubectl starts an interactive attach session, it sends 2 resize messages in quick succession. It seems that particularly in HTTP mode, we often receive both of these WebSocket frames from the underlying connection in a single read. However, our parser currently assumes 0-1 frames per read, and leaves the second frame in the read buffer until the next read from the underlying connection. It doesn't take long after that before we end up failing to skip a control message as we normally should, and then we parse a control message as though it will have a stream ID (part of the Kubernetes protocol) and error out. Instead, we should keep parsing frames from the read buffer for as long as we're able to parse complete frames, so this commit refactors the messages parsing logic into a loop based on the contents of the read buffer being non-empty. k/k staging/src/k8s.io/kubectl/pkg/cmd/attach/attach.go for full details of the resize messages. There are at least a couple more multiple-frame read edge cases we should handle, but this commit is very conservatively fixing a single observed issue to make it a low-risk candidate for cherry picking.

2025-07-21all-kube: create Tailscale Service for HA kube-apiserver ProxyGroup (#16572)Tom Proctor1-19/+46
Adds a new reconciler for ProxyGroups of type kube-apiserver that will provision a Tailscale Service for each replica to advertise. Adds two new condition types to the ProxyGroup, TailscaleServiceValid and TailscaleServiceConfigured, to post updates on the state of that reconciler in a way that's consistent with the service-pg reconciler. The created Tailscale Service name is configurable via a new ProxyGroup field spec.kubeAPISserver.ServiceName, which expects a string of the form "svc:<dns-label>". Lots of supporting changes were needed to implement this in a way that's consistent with other operator workflows, including: * Pulled containerboot's ensureServicesUnadvertised and certManager into kube/ libraries to be shared with k8s-proxy. Use those in k8s-proxy to aid Service cert sharing between replicas and graceful Service shutdown. * For certManager, add an initial wait to the cert loop to wait until the domain appears in the devices's netmap to avoid a guaranteed error on the first issue attempt when it's quick to start. * Made several methods in ingress-for-pg.go and svc-for-pg.go into functions to share with the new reconciler * Added a Resource struct to the owner refs stored in Tailscale Service annotations to be able to distinguish between Ingress- and ProxyGroup- based Services that need cleaning up in the Tailscale API. * Added a ListVIPServices method to the internal tailscale client to aid cleaning up orphaned Services * Support for reading config from a kube Secret, and partial support for config reloading, to prevent us having to force Pod restarts when config changes. * Fixed up the zap logger so it's possible to set debug log level.

2025-07-09cmd/{k8s-operator,k8s-proxy}: add kube-apiserver ProxyGroup type (#16266)Tom Proctor2-144/+72
Adds a new k8s-proxy command to convert operator's in-process proxy to a separately deployable type of ProxyGroup: kube-apiserver. k8s-proxy reads in a new config file written by the operator, modelled on tailscaled's conffile but with some modifications to ensure multiple versions of the config can co-exist within a file. This should make it much easier to support reading that config file from a Kube Secret with a stable file name. To avoid needing to give the operator ClusterRole{,Binding} permissions, the helm chart now optionally deploys a new static ServiceAccount for the API Server proxy to use if in auth mode. Proxies deployed by kube-apiserver ProxyGroups currently work the same as the operator's in-process proxy. They do not yet leverage Tailscale Services for presenting a single HA DNS name.
