I use the docker container ghcr.io/tailscale/golink:main and I just updated to the latest version. When I go to my Tailscale Admin page, I see that the Tailscale version is listed as “1.72.1-ERR-BuildInfo”.

That doesn’t strike me as a useful version number and it seems like something is broken in the release pipeline; can you fix it?

hmm, this does seem to be a newer behavior. I see it as well in my homelab with the latest container image. Previously, we had version numbers similar to 1.62.1-dev20240412.

Relevant code for these strings is https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/blob/aeb15dea3032c0560793190731dd6a06b45850b2/version/version.go#L86-L102

@awly have you seen this with other tsnet apps? I doubt it would have had anything to do with #137, since we didn't actually change how we build the golink binary itself.

I don't think this behavior is golink specific, or at least I have observed the same -ERR-BuildInfo suffixes in personal software that uses tailscale.com/tsnet

Dockerfile: install git to populate node version string
d7bc808 
Without the git CLI, `go build` will not produce the embedded VCS
metadata that's used to report the commit hash in node version string.
This fixes the `1.72.1-ERR-BuildInfo` version string reported to
Tailscale.

Fixes #140

In this case, we were missing git in the build container, which is necessary to populate the version info.
