# Note that this Dockerfile is currently NOT used to build any of the published
# Tailscale container images and may have drifted from the image build mechanism
# we use.
# Tailscale images are currently built using https://github.com/tailscale/mkctr,
# and the build script can be found in ./build_docker.sh.
#
# If you want to build local images for testing, you can use make.
#
# To build a Tailscale image and push to the local docker registry:
#
#   $ REPO=local/tailscale TAGS=v0.0.1 PLATFORM=local  make publishdevimage
#
# To build a Tailscale image and push to a remote docker registry:
#
#   $ REPO=<your-registry>/<your-repo>/tailscale TAGS=v0.0.1  make publishdevimage
#
# This Dockerfile includes all the tailscale binaries.
#
# To build the Dockerfile:
#
#     $ docker build -t tailscale/tailscale .
#
# To run the tailscaled agent:
#
#     $ docker run -d --name=tailscaled -v /var/lib:/var/lib -v /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun --network=host --privileged tailscale/tailscale tailscaled
#
# To then log in:
#
#     $ docker exec tailscaled tailscale up
#
# To see status:
#
#     $ docker exec tailscaled tailscale status
