recent builds don't define the "-socket" flag recommended in the readme #3

Closed ryancnelson closed 4 years ago

I just built the package with docker today (2020/9/6): installs fine... the README says to cd to the proper directory, then: "./tailscale -socket var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock up"

observed output: "[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Tailscale] # ./tailscale -socket var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock up flag provided but not defined: -socket USAGE tailscale subcommand [flags]

This CLI is still under active development. Commands and flags will change in the future. "

... doing a little debugging, i figured out that the default path for the socket it's trying is "/var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock"

adding a symlink, like "ln -s /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Tailscale/var/run/tailscale/ /var/run/tailscale" made the existing socket appear in the expected place, and now "./tailscale up" works properly.

should the "-socket" flag work? it should be either made to work, or the README should be corrected.

Thanks for the issue submission.

The -socket flag should work, but I am not sure when it was introduced to Tailscale. Did you define TSTAG environment variable during build? The default Tailscale version being compiled is quite old. Try setting TSTAG environment variable to v1.1.0 to build latest version of Tailscale.

Alternatively, you can grab the latest build from https://github.com/ivokub/tailscale-qpkg/actions/runs/241151056

The default socket location is not convenient as the file system is overwritten when firmware is updated and your suggested link removed.
