A GitHub Action to connect your workflow to your Tailscale network.

Tailscale GitHub Action

This GitHub Action connects to your Tailscale network by adding a step to your workflow.

  - name: Tailscale
    uses: tailscale/github-action@v1
    with:
      authkey: ${{ secrets.TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY }}

Subsequent steps in the Action can then access nodes in your Tailnet.

TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY is an authkey for the Tailnet to be accessed, and needs to be populated in the Secrets for your workflow. Ephemeral authkeys tend to be a good fit for GitHub runners, as they clean up their state automatically shortly after the runner finishes.
