Usage of /usr/bin/tailscaled:
-bird-socket string
path of the bird unix socket
-cleanup
clean up system state and exit
-config string
path to config file, or 'vm:user-data' to use the VM's user-data (EC2); prefix with 'optional:' to boot unconfigured when the source is absent instead of failing
-debug string
listen address ([ip]:port) of optional debug server
-encrypt-state
encrypt the state file on disk; when not set encryption will be enabled if supported on this platform; uses TPM on Linux and Windows, on all other platforms this flag is not supported
-hardware-attestation
use hardware-backed keys to bind node identity to this device when supported
by the OS and hardware. Uses TPM 2.0 on Linux and Windows; SecureEnclave on
macOS and iOS; and Keystore on Android. Only supported for Tailscale nodes that
store state on filesystem.
-no-logs-no-support
disable log uploads; this also disables any technical support
-outbound-http-proxy-listen string
optional [ip]:port to run an outbound HTTP proxy (e.g. "localhost:8080")
-port value
UDP port to listen on for WireGuard and peer-to-peer traffic; 0 means automatically select (default 0)
-socket string
path of the service unix socket (default "/var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock")
-socks5-server string
optional [ip]:port to run a SOCK5 server (e.g. "localhost:1080")
-state string
absolute path of state file; use 'kube:<secret-name>' to use Kubernetes secrets or 'arn:aws:ssm:...' to store in AWS SSM; use 'mem:' to not store state and register as an ephemeral node. If empty and --statedir is provided, the default is <statedir>/tailscaled.state. Default: /tmp/.local/share/tailscale/tailscaled.state
-statedir string
path to directory for storage of config state, TLS certs, temporary incoming Taildrop files, etc. If empty, it's derived from --state when possible.
-syslog
log to the system syslog daemon instead of stderr
-syspolicy-file string
path to a JSON syspolicy file applied as a device-scope policy source; empty disables (default "/etc/tailscale/syspolicy.json")
-tun string
tunnel interface name; use "userspace-networking" (beta) to not use TUN (default "tailscale0")
-verbose int
log verbosity level; 0 is default, 1 or higher are increasingly verbose
-version
print version information and exit
