Access your tailnet GitHub Codespaces

GitHub Codespaces is a way to run Visual Studio Code—with its editor, terminal, debugger, version control, settings sync, and the entire ecosystem of extensions—hosted in the cloud.

Tailscale can be installed within a Codespace to be able to access private resources such as package registries or license servers securely, regardless of whether they're in the cloud or on premises. You can also use Tailscale to share your development or staging environment with a colleague.

Integration

When using GitHub Codespaces , you can include Tailscale as a feature in your dev container . This feature is available from the tailscale/codespace repository .

To use the Tailscale feature, in your devcontainer.json include:

    "runArgs": ["--device=/dev/net/tun"],
    "features": {
        // ...
        "ghcr.io/tailscale/codespace/tailscale": {}
        // ...
