FR: Add support for CoreOS

JayWStapleton commented 1 year ago

What are you trying to do?

Install on CoreOS detects as Fedora, and tries to use .dnf which is not available.

[admin@CoreOS ~]$ curl -sSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh |sh
Installing Tailscale for fedora , using method dnf
+ sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/fedora//tailscale.repo
sudo: dnf: command not found

[admin@CoreOS ~]$ cat /etc/os-release

How should we solve this?

Customer reported their process to get it working:

I was able to install Tailscale on Fedora CoreOS using the following modifications 
to the steps listed on the Fedora installation page 
(here: https://tailscale.com/kb/1050/install-fedora/):

1: wget https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/fedora/tailscale.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/tailscale.repo
rpm-ostree install tailscale

The remaining steps were unchanged.

I figured this might be good to add to an entry for Fedora CoreOS, and to fix the installation script 
to not assume `dnf` is available if /etc/os-release is `fedora`.

What is the impact of not solving this?

No automated install on Fedora CoreOS

Anything else?

No response

This platform will be a bit harder than most: CoreOS uses rpm-ostree as its package manager, which installer.sh does not currently support. We'll have to develop the install handling for it.

Just for impact clarity, this issue isn't limited to CoreOS; I can confirm the issue of no rpm-ostree support impacts Fedora Silverblue and Fedora Kinoite. Presumably it also impacts Fedora Sericea and Fedora Onyx.

Triage solution would be to more formally document the rpm-ostree install steps to manually install w/o the install.sh in the kb and the download page:

sudo wget https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/fedora/tailscale.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/tailscale.repo
rpm-ostree install tailscale
systemctl reboot
sudo systemctl enable --now tailscaled
sudo tailscale up

Would love to see either a Flatpak edition of Tailscale or a way to install via rpm-ostree that doesn't involve hackey workarounds for us folks on the Atomic editions of Fedora (Silverblue, Kinoite, CoreOS, etc.).
