tailscale

The tailscale gem provides an embedded network interface that can be used to listen for and dial connections to other Tailscale nodes.

Installation

Source installations will require a recent Go compiler in $PATH in order to build.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add tailscale

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install ailscale

Usage

The node will need to be authorized in order to function. Set an auth key with set_auth_key, or watch the libtailscale log stream and respond to the printed authorization URL. You can also set the $TS_AUTHKEY environment variable.

require 'tailscale'
t = Tailscale.new
t.up
l = t.listen "tcp", ":1999"
while c = l.accept
    c.write "hello world"
    c.close
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
