Description
I strung together a github actions job with the steps:
tailscale/github-actiondocker/setup-qemu-actionsigstore/cosign-installdocker/setup-buildx-actionactions/checkoutdocker/metadata-actiondocker/build-push-action
(2-7 are pretty much default multi-platform image build pipeline github gives you.)
On my tailnet, I'm running the registry:2 container.
The problem is that when build-push-action goes to push, it can't connect:
ERROR: failed to solve: failed to push registry.redacted.ts.net/repo:tag: failed to do request: Head "https://registry.redacted.ts.net/v2/repo/blobs/sha256:9b215f6cf4b06c007e35fcc4c41c620c3728d5135472a1dd6390bb0d1dccbcd5": dial tcp: lookup registry.redacted.ts.net on 168.63.129.16:53: no such host
Adding some debug steps, I've determined:
tailscale statusruns and shows a bunch of machinescurl -iL http://registry.redacted.ts.net/v2/_catalogshows a blob of JSON from the registrydocker pullcan pull from that registry
I'm not sure if I need to set buildx to use host networking (similar to https://github.com/tailscale/github-action/issues/101#issuecomment-1889694427) or if I should set up proxy settings, or if Docker in GitHub Actions is just Weird™️.

Research direction
Reproduce the workflow using tailscale/github-action, docker/setup-buildx-action, and docker/build-push-action against the Tailscale-hosted registry. Start by comparing connectivity from tailscale status, curl, docker pull, and the buildx push step. Done means identifying the required buildx networking or proxy configuration and documenting or implementing a working workflow.
