feat(recipes): multi-distro install for docker, devtools, tailscale - #44
Conversation
…edora, arch Each recipe declared os = ["alpine"]. They now declare all five OSes and carry a [scripts] map that points each OS at its own install-<distro>.sh. The old install.sh stays as the apt/systemd default for unlisted Debian-family OSes. Manifest.ScriptFor already resolves the [scripts] override, so no Go change is needed here. CheckRecipes no longer rejects these recipes on non-alpine OSes. The OS-mismatch test pins a synthetic alpine-only recipe instead of docker, which now applies everywhere.
needsAutoProvision returned false for cloud VMs, on the assumption cloud-init did all the work at first boot. A cloud VM with unapplied or changed recipes then never re-provisioned. core.Apply discovers cloud-init's first-boot runs via marker files, so it only runs new or changed recipes. Defer cloud VMs to NeedsProvision like every other mode.
The install issue text was three bare lines. Draw it in a box with a small mascot so a human watching the console sees an unattended install is running, not a stalled login prompt.
The list/detail screen checks an agent cannot run: they need a real Alpine boot and a human reading the screen. Covers uptime tick, broken vm.toml delete, directory-vs-name identity, and the snapshots modal.

Assert set membership in both directions.
The current loop uses want only as an allow-list. A duplicate such as docker plus a missing tailscale can still pass when the total count is four. Track the names seen and assert that every name in want was returned.

🌐 Web query:
According to Arch Linux documentation, does pacman -Sy create an unsupported partial upgrade, and what command is recommended when installing packages from refreshed repositories?
💡 Result:
According to Arch Linux documentation, running commands that refresh the package database without also performing a full system upgrade can lead to unsupported partial upgrades [1][2]. Specifically, the Arch Wiki warns against running pacman -Sy <package> or running pacman -Sy followed by pacman -S <package> [1][2]. These operations update your local package database (via the -y flag) but do not upgrade the rest of your system (the -u flag), which can create a mismatch between your system libraries and the new versions of packages you are installing [2]. This scenario is officially unsupported because Arch Linux is a rolling release distribution; upgrading only one package may pull in new dependencies or libraries that are incompatible with existing, un-updated packages on your system, leading to potential breakage [2]. The command recommended by Arch Linux for installing packages while ensuring the system remains in a supported state is: # pacman -Syu By including the -u flag (which stands for --sysupgrade), this command ensures that the system performs a full upgrade alongside the database synchronization, maintaining consistency across all installed packages [1][2].

Return failure when the Docker daemon does not become ready.
After 30 failed probes, all five installers continue. The sed pipeline masks a failed docker version command, so set -e does not stop the script. Add a post-loop docker info check and exit nonzero. Apply the same fix to all five listed installers.

Fail when tailscaled does not become reachable.
After 30 failed checks, each loop exits with the final sleep status. The script then prints a success message and returns zero. Add a final tailscale status check that exits nonzero before the success message.

Find the official Tailscale installation guidance for Debian and Fedora. Identify the supported signed package repository setup and its package-signing verification process.
💡 Result:
Tailscale provides official support for Debian and Fedora, offering distinct installation paths and repository management for each [1]. For Debian, Tailscale maintains its own package repository [2][3]. To install, you must manually set up the repository and its GPG signing key to ensure package integrity [2]. The process involves downloading the Tailscale GPG public key and saving it to /usr/share/keyrings/tailscale-archive-keyring.gpg [2]. You then create a repository source file (typically in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tailscale.list) that references this keyring using the [signed-by=...] directive [2][3]. This directive explicitly instructs the APT package manager to verify the repository index using the specified GPG key, which is the standard mechanism for secure repository verification on Debian systems [3]. For Fedora, Tailscale packages are officially included in the distribution's repositories, which is the recommended method [4]. You can install Tailscale directly using the dnf package manager (e.g., sudo dnf install tailscale) [1][4]. Because these packages are integrated into the official Fedora repositories, verification is handled automatically by the Fedora project's infrastructure using its standard package-signing process, requiring no additional manual GPG key setup by the user [4]. Alternatively, for both distributions, Tailscale provides an automated shell script (curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh) that detects the operating system and automatically performs the appropriate repository setup and configuration for a supported environment [1][5]. Regardless of the installation method, you are encouraged to consult the official Tailscale packages site for distribution-specific instructions and to select your desired release track (e.g., stable, unstable) [6][2].

🌐 Web query:
site:tailscale.com/docs/install/linux Debian Fedora install signed package repository GPG key dnf apt
💡 Result:
To install a signed package repository GPG key on Debian or Fedora, you must ensure the package manager trusts the repository's signing key. For Debian-based systems using apt, the modern practice is to store the GPG key in the /etc/apt/keyrings directory. Because the legacy apt-key command is deprecated, you should download the key and place it in the designated directory, often using the gpg command to convert it to the required format if it is not already in the appropriate keyring format. Once the key is saved, you reference it in your repository source file located in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ by adding the signed-by option to the repository definition: deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/your-key.gpg] https://repo.example.com/debian stable main For Fedora and other dnf-based systems, you typically define the GPG key directly within the repository configuration file located in /etc/yum.repos.d/. You can set the gpgcheck parameter to 1 to enable verification and point to the key URL or a local file path using the gpgkey parameter: [repository-name] name=Repository Name baseurl=https://repo.example.com/fedora/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://repo.example.com/pubkey.gpg Automated tools or installation scripts, such as those provided by some software vendors, may handle these configurations automatically by downloading the key and updating the respective package manager settings [1]. Always verify that you are downloading keys from official and trusted sources before adding them to your system.
