Description
This "Setup Tailscale" step always seems to take around two minutes to complete, which is suspicious because I notice there is a TIMEOUT: 2m variable in there:
- name: Setup Tailscale
uses: tailscale/github-action@v3
with:
oauth-client-id: ${{ secrets.TAILSCALE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID }}
oauth-secret: ${{ secrets.TAILSCALE_OAUTH_SECRET }}
args: "--exit-node=${{ secrets.TAILSCALE_EXIT_NODE }} --exit-node-allow-lan-access=true"
tags: tag:github-actions
I wrote up more detailed notes here - I'm using this Action to configure an exit node via an Apple TV: https://til.simonwillison.net/tailscale/tailscale-github-actions
