Is rsync installed in the stock vm environment by default?

Asking for a friend…

Our base image is most of an Ubuntu server. We trim out, for example, systemd features that are designed for working with system hardware, and then add a lot of standard software, as our block device cloning is a lot faster and more efficient than apt. So you will find vim, git, go, curl, sqlite3, etc all installed. If you think something obvious is missing please let us know!

  • Would love it if Tailscale came pre-installed! Or even better: some simple way to make it so every VM I start up is automatically/easily part of my Tailnet.

    p.s. thanks for making Tailscale. And I'm loving exe.dev so far!
