ConnectorSpec

ConnectorSpec describes a Tailscale node to be deployed in the cluster.

Appears in:

• Connector

Field	Description	Default	Validation
tags Tags	Tags that the Tailscale node will be tagged with. Defaults to [tag:k8s]. To autoapprove the subnet routes or exit node defined by a Connector, you can configure Tailscale ACLs to give these tags the necessary permissions. See https://tailscale.com/kb/1337/acl-syntax#autoapprovers. If you specify custom tags here, you must also make the operator an owner of these tags. See https://tailscale.com/kb/1236/kubernetes-operator/#setting-up-the-kubernetes-operator. Tags cannot be changed once a Connector node has been created. Tag values must be in form ^tag:[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9-]*$.		Pattern: ^tag:[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9-]*$ Type: string
hostname Hostname	Hostname is the tailnet hostname that should be assigned to the Connector node. If unset, hostname defaults to <connector name>-connector. Hostname can contain lower case letters, numbers and dashes, it must not start or end with a dash and must be between 2 and 63 characters long.		Pattern: ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9]$ Type: string
proxyClass string	ProxyClass is the name of the ProxyClass custom resource that contains configuration options that should be applied to the resources created for this Connector. If unset, the operator will create resources with the default configuration.
subnetRouter SubnetRouter	SubnetRouter defines subnet routes that the Connector node should expose to tailnet. If unset, none are exposed. https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets/
exitNode boolean	ExitNode defines whether the Connector node should act as a Tailscale exit node. Defaults to false. https://tailscale.com/kb/1103/exit-nodes

ConnectorStatus

ConnectorStatus defines the observed state of the Connector.

Appears in:

• Connector

Field	Description	Default	Validation
conditions Condition array	List of status conditions to indicate the status of the Connector. Known condition types are ConnectorReady.
subnetRoutes string	SubnetRoutes are the routes currently exposed to tailnet via this Connector instance.
isExitNode boolean	IsExitNode is set to true if the Connector acts as an exit node.
tailnetIPs string array	TailnetIPs is the set of tailnet IP addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6) assigned to the Connector node.
hostname string	Hostname is the fully qualified domain name of the Connector node. If MagicDNS is enabled in your tailnet, it is the MagicDNS name of the node.

Container

Appears in:

• Pod

Field	Description	Default	Validation
env Env array	List of environment variables to set in the container. https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload-resources/pod-v1/#environment-variables Note that environment variables provided here will take precedence over Tailscale-specific environment variables set by the operator, however running proxies with custom values for Tailscale environment variables (i.e TS_USERSPACE) is not recommended and might break in the future.
image string	Container image name. By default images are pulled from docker.io/tailscale/tailscale, but the official images are also available at ghcr.io/tailscale/tailscale. Specifying image name here will override any proxy image values specified via the Kubernetes operator's Helm chart values or PROXY_IMAGE env var in the operator Deployment. https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload-resources/pod-v1/#image
imagePullPolicy PullPolicy	Image pull policy. One of Always, Never, IfNotPresent. Defaults to Always. https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload-resources/pod-v1/#image		Enum: [Always Never IfNotPresent]
resources ResourceRequirements	Container resource requirements. By default Tailscale Kubernetes operator does not apply any resource requirements. The amount of resources required wil depend on the amount of resources the operator needs to parse, usage patterns and cluster size. https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload-resources/pod-v1/#resources
securityContext SecurityContext	Container security context. Security context specified here will override the security context by the operator. By default the operator: - sets 'privileged: true' for the init container - set NET_ADMIN capability for tailscale container for proxies that are created for Services or Connector. https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload-resources/pod-v1/#security-context

DNSConfig

DNSConfig can be deployed to cluster to make a subset of Tailscale MagicDNS names resolvable by cluster workloads. Use this if: A) you need to refer to tailnet services, exposed to cluster via Tailscale Kubernetes operator egress proxies by the MagicDNS names of those tailnet services (usually because the services run over HTTPS) B) you have exposed a cluster workload to the tailnet using Tailscale Ingress and you also want to refer to the workload from within the cluster over the Ingress's MagicDNS name (usually because you have some callback component that needs to use the same URL as that used by a non-cluster client on tailnet). When a DNSConfig is applied to a cluster, Tailscale Kubernetes operator will deploy a nameserver for ts.net DNS names and automatically populate it with records for any Tailscale egress or Ingress proxies deployed to that cluster. Currently you must manually update your cluster DNS configuration to add the IP address of the deployed nameserver as a ts.net stub nameserver. Instructions for how to do it: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/dns-custom-nameservers/#configuration-of-stub-domain-and-upstream-nameserver-using-coredns (for CoreDNS), https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/kube-dns (for kube-dns). Tailscale Kubernetes operator will write the address of a Service fronting the nameserver to dsnconfig.status.nameserver.ip. DNSConfig is a singleton - you must not create more than one. NB: if you want cluster workloads to be able to refer to Tailscale Ingress using its MagicDNS name, you must also annotate the Ingress resource with tailscale.com/experimental-forward-cluster-traffic-via-ingress annotation to ensure that the proxy created for the Ingress listens on its Pod IP address. NB: Clusters where Pods get assigned IPv6 addresses only are currently not supported.
