Private WireGuard® networks made easy

This repository contains the open source Tailscale Android client.

Help us test new features and bug-fixes before they ship to all users! A beta testing track is available on the Play Store.

The app can be downloaded from the Amazon Appstore for Amazon Fire tablets and Fire TV devices.

The F-Droid project builds the source code in this repository and maintains independently-built APKs. Note that F-Droid builds are not released, updated, or verified by the Tailscale team.

There are several options for setting up a build environment. The Android Studio path is the most useful path for longer term development.

In all cases you will need:

• Go runtime
• Android SDK
• Android SDK components (make androidsdk will install them)

1. Install a Go runtime (https://go.dev/dl/).
2. Install Android Studio (https://developer.android.com/studio).
3. Start Android Studio, from the Welcome screen select "More Actions" and "SDK Manager".
4. In the SDK manager, select the "SDK Tools" tab and install the "Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest)".
5. Run make androidsdk to install the necessary SDK components.

If you would prefer to avoid Android Studio, you can also install an Android SDK. The makefile detects common paths, so sudo apt install android-sdk is sufficient on Debian / Ubuntu systems. To use an Android SDK installed in a non-standard location, set the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variable to the path to the SDK.

If you installed Android Studio the tools may not be in your path. To get the correct tool path, run make androidpath and export the provided path in your shell.

The ktmft plugin on the default setting should be used to autoformat all Java, Kotlin and XML files in Android Studio. Enable "Format on Save".

If you wish to avoid installing software on your host system, a Docker based development strategy is available, you can build and start a shell with:

make dockershell

If you have Nix 2.4 or later installed, a Nix development environment can be set up with:

alias nix='nix --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes"'
nix develop

make apk
make install

Use make tag_release to bump the Android version code, update the version name, and tag the current commit.

We only guarantee to support the latest Go release and any Go beta or release candidate builds (currently Go 1.14) in module mode. It might work in earlier Go versions or in GOPATH mode, but we're making no effort to keep those working.

On the Fire Stick:

• Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options > ADB Debugging > ON

Then some useful commands:

adb connect 10.2.200.213:5555
adb install -r tailscale-fdroid.apk
adb shell am start -n com.tailscale.ipn/com.tailscale.ipn.MainActivity
adb shell pm uninstall com.tailscale.ipn

Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the tailscale issue tracker.

PRs welcome, but we are still working out our contribution process and tooling.

We require Developer Certificate of Origin Signed-off-by lines in commits.

We are Tailscale. See https://tailscale.com/company for more about us and what we're building.
