macOS was TUN-less: the agent ran only with `--no-tun`, so tunnels formed but nothing reached the operating system. The provisioner, host rules and DNS publisher had Linux and Windows implementations and fell through to the unsupported/erroring paths on macOS. This adds the macOS half so `tsunagi up` carries real traffic there. The shared decision logic (plan_changes, rules_summary, Published) is untouched — only the per-platform mechanics are new. What it does on macOS (all root-only; macOS has no per-capability grant): - Interface: a `utun` device opened over the in-kernel utun control socket via the existing `tun` dependency (no kext, no Network Extension). The kernel assigns the `utunN` name, so a name derived from the network id is not a legal utun name; `open_tun` leaves the name unset on macOS and reads the real one back, and `Interface::start` adopts `device.name()` as the name everything downstream configures (host rules, reconfigure). A utun is torn down with the process, so a crash never leaks one. Addresses, MTU, up and the overlay subnet route are applied with `/sbin/ifconfig` and `/sbin/route` (absolute paths, args built only from locally-derived values), the same role netlink plays on Linux and netsh on Windows. Observation is `netdev` (getifaddrs). - DNS: a resolver-dir publisher writes `/etc/resolver/<network>` files pointing the system resolver at the overlay DNS server for each zone. The files carry a `port`, so the server needs no privileged socket, and a marker line, so the publisher only ever replaces or removes files it wrote and never clobbers a user's own. Removed on revert. - Broadcast host rules: the `255.255.255.255` route is installed with `route`. The inbound-UDP firewall allowance (a pf anchor) is deferred and reported as the incomplete half, so `status` says what to allow by hand; the route still goes in. Failure stays contained, exactly as on the other platforms. - Privilege: probe is optimistic (like Windows); the honest answer comes from the utun open, whose permission error now says to run with sudo or as a daemon. Deployment: - Default paths on macOS are fixed system locations rather than per-user Library dirs, so they do not depend on whose shell ran sudo: state `/var/db/tsunagi`, cache `/var/db/tsunagi/cache` (StoragePaths::user_default), control socket `/var/run/tsunagi/agent.sock` (default_control_socket_path, mirroring the Windows %ProgramData% branch). The local control socket already uses the shared `unix` adapter, so no IPC changes were needed — macOS is Unix. - dist/macos/ carries a root LaunchDaemon plist and install notes; README's deployment section now documents the macOS path instead of "not implemented". Decisions (agreed up front): utun auto-assign with the real name adopted; ifconfig/route rather than raw PF_ROUTE/ioctl (which would need unsafe); /etc/resolver files rather than scutil; route-now/firewall-deferred; root via sudo or a LaunchDaemon rather than Network Extension (which would require a signed sandboxed app bundle, not a Rust CLI). Checks: on macOS (Darwin 27), `cargo fmt --all --check`, `cargo clippy --locked --workspace --all-targets -D warnings`, and `cargo test --locked --workspace --all-targets` all pass (0 failures); the new macos-gated unit tests run under the standard workspace command via feature unification. Not yet exercised live: actual utun creation, ifconfig/route application and /etc/resolver writes need a root run, which has not been done in this session.

# Running tsunagi on macOS
|
|
|
|
The agent needs **root** on macOS: creating a `utun` interface and writing
|
|
`/etc/resolver` are both root-only, and macOS has no per-capability grant like
|
|
Linux. There are two ways to run it.
|
|
|
|
## Quick start — `sudo`
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo tsunagi up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In another terminal, the control commands talk to it over the system control
|
|
socket and do **not** need `sudo`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
tsunagi status
|
|
tsunagi join <network-name> <tsn1…secret>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The agent uses fixed system paths, so the commands find it regardless of whose
|
|
shell started `sudo`:
|
|
|
|
| what | path |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| mandatory state | `/var/db/tsunagi` |
|
|
| disposable cache | `/var/db/tsunagi/cache` |
|
|
| control socket | `/var/run/tsunagi/agent.sock` |
|
|
|
|
## Native deployment — root LaunchDaemon
|
|
|
|
For an always-on agent that starts at boot, install the bundled
|
|
[`cy.hexor.tsunagi.plist`](cy.hexor.tsunagi.plist).
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Put the binary where the plist expects it (edit the plist for another path).
|
|
sudo install -m 0755 target/release/tsunagi /usr/local/bin/tsunagi
|
|
|
|
# Install the daemon. launchd refuses a daemon plist that is not owned by
|
|
# root:wheel or that is group/world-writable.
|
|
sudo install -m 0644 -o root -g wheel \
|
|
dist/macos/cy.hexor.tsunagi.plist \
|
|
/Library/LaunchDaemons/cy.hexor.tsunagi.plist
|
|
|
|
# Load and start it.
|
|
sudo launchctl bootstrap system /Library/LaunchDaemons/cy.hexor.tsunagi.plist
|
|
sudo launchctl enable system/cy.hexor.tsunagi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Manage it afterwards with:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/cy.hexor.tsunagi # restart
|
|
sudo launchctl bootout system/cy.hexor.tsunagi # stop and unload
|
|
tail -f /var/log/tsunagi.log # logs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The control commands (`status`, `join`, `network`, `dns`) work the same against
|
|
the daemon as against a `sudo tsunagi up`, over the same socket.
|
|
|
|
## What the agent does to the system
|
|
|
|
Everything it installs is tagged to its own interface, computed from local
|
|
state, and reversible — it is removed when a network leaves, broadcast is turned
|
|
off, or the agent stops:
|
|
|
|
- a **`utun` interface**, configured with `ifconfig` (addresses, MTU, up) and a
|
|
subnet `route` for the overlay range. The kernel assigns the `utunN` name; the
|
|
agent adopts whatever it is given. A `utun` is torn down with the process, so
|
|
a crash never leaves one behind.
|
|
- `/etc/resolver/<network>` files pointing the system resolver at the overlay
|
|
DNS server for each network's zone, with a `port` so the server stays off 53.
|
|
Each file carries a marker line; the agent only ever replaces or removes files
|
|
it wrote, never one you created by hand.
|
|
- while broadcast is on, a `255.255.255.255` **route** through the overlay
|
|
interface. The matching inbound-UDP firewall allowance is **not** implemented
|
|
yet (it needs a `pf` anchor); `tsunagi status` reports that half as incomplete
|
|
and names what to allow by hand if your host firewall drops discovery replies.
|
|
|
|
Nothing taken from a remote peer ever becomes a path, a command argument or an
|
|
OS setting: the interface name comes from the kernel, addresses and ranges from
|
|
signed state the agent already verified.
