Brad Fitzpatrick 4bb6f35c1f ipn/ipnlocal: consolidate test-only LocalBackend methods behind ForTest
Move all the FooForTest methods on LocalBackend to instead be
methods on a new unexported forTest type which is then given out
to callers in other packages via an exported ForTest method
(panicking in non-test contexts) that returns that unexported type.

This is unusual style (exported returning unexported) but declutters
godoc and makes call sites both more explicit and easier to read
without the "ForTest" suffix polluting the symbols. Now FooForTest()
changes into ForTest().Foo().

This was motivated by a pending change moving a bunch of code out of
LocalBackend into other packages that required adding more ForTest
methods to LocalBackend to keep the tests (now in other packages)
working. Instead, do this refactor now so the future change is prettier.

Private WireGuard® networks made easy

Overview

This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code. Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and to varying degrees on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.

Other Tailscale repos of note:

For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.

Using

We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.

Other clients

The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.

Building

We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.26. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)

go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}

If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:

./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled

If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.

Bugs

Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.

Contributing

PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.

We require Developer Certificate of Origin Signed-off-by lines in commits.

See commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
