Tailscale client using Wails.
go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest
git clone https://github.com/dgrr/tailscale-client
cd tailscale-client
make installI am aware that there is some kind of client desktop application for MacOS and maybe Windows, but there's none for Linux! Therefore, I decided to create one. Now... why Wails? I am not really a fan of JS (just look at the code, it's horrible, I know...), so I tried Qt, I like Qt, but I wasn't able to make an HTTP request through a UNIX socket, so I couldn't connect to the tailscale daemon (tailscaled). Now, I tried Flutter and some GTK stuff, but it's all so difficult from a beginners' perspective. So I decided to use electron, but electron looked like too much because I'd have to implement the API from scratch. Now, wails is a nice option, because I don't have to be bothered to learn more JS than it is required, I can just use Golang for the backend!
- File upload and reception.
- Account switching (ugly but works).
- Host listing (it is more prepared for headscale than tailscale, so I am open to criticism).
- Select an exit node.
- Host IP listing.
- Some tag description (like OS, or whether it's online or how long since it was last seen).
You can contribute as much as you want, you can even fork the program and remove my name from it, IDGAF. I just want this program to work and to do what it is supposed to do.
If you know more JS than I do (so more than 8h experience should be enough) you are welcome to open a PR. No contribution is mundane at all, again you can look by yourself that my JS code is pure garbage :)
