tailscale won't install on ARM Linux devices

[jamesez]

Feature id and version

ghcr.io/devcontainers-contrib/features/tailscale:1.0.9

Devcontainer base Image

Any

What happened?

The Tailscale feature depends on curl-apt-get:1.0.7 but: curl-apt-get pulls down featmake, which then tries to download and call an x86 binary, oras.

The fix may be as easy as changing the dependency to curl-apt-get:1.0.15.

@jamesez thanks for reporting this! Indeed It looks like the fix should be just upgrading to latest curl-apt-get feature dependency I have created a new version of tailscale feature with the updated version,
Unfortunately, I dont have an ARM environment to test it on, so I will not close this issue yet, at least until someone can verify the latest version ghcr.io/devcontainers-contrib/features/tailscale:1.0.10 solved it

[jamesez]

On my AWS ARM VM, I used this trivial devcontainer.json:

{
    "name": "Tailscale Test",
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:debian",

    // Features to add to the dev container. More info: https://containers.dev/features.
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/devcontainers-contrib/features/tailscale:1.0.10": {}
    }
}

and it built successfully, Tailscale is present (v1.40.1).
