// The containerboot binary is a wrapper for starting tailscaled in a container.
// It handles reading the desired mode of operation out of environment
// variables, bringing up and authenticating Tailscale, and any other
// kubernetes-specific side jobs.
//
// As with most container things, configuration is passed through environment
// variables. All configuration is optional.
//
//   - TS_AUTHKEY: the authkey to use for login.
//   - TS_HOSTNAME: the hostname to request for the node.
//   - TS_ROUTES: subnet routes to advertise.
//   - TS_DEST_IP: proxy all incoming Tailscale traffic to the given
//     destination.
//   - TS_TAILSCALED_EXTRA_ARGS: extra arguments to 'tailscaled'.
//   - TS_EXTRA_ARGS: extra arguments to 'tailscale up'.
//   - TS_USERSPACE: run with userspace networking (the default)
//     instead of kernel networking.
//   - TS_STATE_DIR: the directory in which to store tailscaled
//     state. The data should persist across container
//     restarts.
//   - TS_ACCEPT_DNS: whether to use the tailnet's DNS configuration.
//   - TS_KUBE_SECRET: the name of the Kubernetes secret in which to
//     store tailscaled state.
//   - TS_SOCKS5_SERVER: the address on which to listen for SOCKS5
//     proxying into the tailnet.
//   - TS_OUTBOUND_HTTP_PROXY_LISTEN: the address on which to listen
//     for HTTP proxying into the tailnet.
//   - TS_SOCKET: the path where the tailscaled LocalAPI socket should
//     be created.
//   - TS_AUTH_ONCE: if true, only attempt to log in if not already
//     logged in. If false (the default, for backwards
//     compatibility), forcibly log in every time the
//     container starts.
//
// When running on Kubernetes, containerboot defaults to storing state in the
// "tailscale" kube secret. To store state on local disk instead, set
// TS_KUBE_SECRET="" and TS_STATE_DIR=/path/to/storage/dir. The state dir should
// be persistent storage.
//
// Additionally, if TS_AUTHKEY is not set and the TS_KUBE_SECRET contains an
// "authkey" field, that key is used as the tailscale authkey.
