Updated client package for fedora server 43?

[full plume]

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong problem, but it seems like maybe tailscale changed how the serve command works and what flags it supports? I have a fedora server 43 box running tailscale installed with dnf install tailscale, and it's version 1.84.1, and it seems to not support the --service flag, so when I run sudo tailscale serve --service=svc:music --https=443 127.0.0.1:4533 - I just get the help output because it's an invalid flag.

No worries, I'll just update the version of tailscale... except I guess maybe I won't, because fedora says I'm already at the most recent version. I looked into a tailscale yum repo and found one, but it only has fedora versions up to 39. I don't honestly know tailscale well enough to know if it would be problematic to try updating 43 from a 39 repo, but I assume the different fedora versioned repos exist for a reason 🙂

So what's the recommended approach here?

the repo for fedora 41 and higher should be https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/fedora/tailscale.repo

i see this listed here https://tailscale.com/download/linux/fedora-2 but weirdly not on https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable, i'll look into that...

my personal machine is still on 42 so i havent personally tested 43 but it should work with that repo just fine

thanks so much - I'll give that a shot!

I obviously didn't do extensive QA testing, but this solution worked for my use case, so thank you very much!

https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/#fedora , but I missed it when I looked at first too, should probably be Fedora 40+ or something like that

I think you might be running the Fedora package of Tailscale. https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/tailscale/tailscale/ is only updated to 1.84.1

if you were to have used the tailscale repo, you'd have access to 1.90.8 already

ugh yeah thanks, i was looking at the bottom of the list since thats where the later versions are. I'll pr this to say 40+ instead and quickly discover if this was intentional or not

[onyx junco]

That is precisely what I did too

I personally use exclude=tailscale in the fedora repos in /etc/yum.repos.d after I install the tailscale repo.

[onyx junco]

Look at who’s being all fancy 🤪

[upbeat ember]

weirdly the downloads page says 41 or later, not 40 or later

but the versions on pkgs stop at 39

will have to take some history lessons to fix this

[dense hatch]

Nah. It bit me once which is why my default is to exclude it from Fedora repos. They deviate from the tailscale docs with how to set flags and such.

If you're not aware of that, any changes you make in /etc/defaults/tailscaled wouldn't apply.
