Building

Go

Requires Go 1.24 or later.

go build -o softether-go ./cmd/softether-go/

Static binary

For deployment in minimal containers (Alpine, scratch) or systems without glibc:

CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o softether-go ./cmd/softether-go/

Cross-compilation

CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o softether-go ./cmd/softether-go/
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 go build -o softether-go ./cmd/softether-go/

Only Linux targets are supported (the TAP device interface uses Linux-specific ioctls).

Nix

Build with the flake:

nix build

The result is in ./result/bin/softether-go.

Enter a development shell with Go tooling:

nix develop

Build within the dev shell:

nix develop -c bash -c 'go build -o softether-go ./cmd/softether-go/'

Dependencies

The only Go dependency is golang.org/x/sys for Linux syscall constants (TUN/TAP ioctls). Dependencies are vendored in vendor/.

At runtime, the only external dependency is ip (iproute2) for route and address management.
