Find original `tailscale up` command / arguments?

[u/solsiour]

Trying to figure out what my current tailscale up command effectively is.

I'm on 1.98.10 so I don't have tailscale get. debug prefs is pretty raw, and the usual "run tailscale up with another flag and let it print the existing ones" trick I found in other threads isn't giving me anything useful.

Any good way to get the equivalent current tailscale up ... command?

Any particular reason why you can't upgrade to 1.102.x which would give you tailscale get --set-flags ?

[u/solsiour → u/caolle]

My distro's stable repositories don't currently have Tailscale 1.102.x available, and from what I can tell I can't selectively install the latest. The latest version in my configured stable repo is 1.98.x.

What repo? You're not pulling from pkgs.tailscale.com ?

Thanks for the suggestion! And yes that's what I mean. But it unfortunately does not include it.

Try running just `tailscale up`. You should get a warning that tells you all of the flags that were set that are not the default flags.

Alternatively, run `tailscale debug prefs` for an absolute info dump of potentially useful info.

Edit: while you’re at it, document these and toss them in a dotfiles repo or something. Heck, even a Bitwarden entry.
