Brad Fitzpatrick 7e609b2581 ipn/ipnlocal,net/dns/resolver: serve MagicDNS names from live indexes
Every netmap change, including an incremental delta of a single peer,
rebuilt the full MagicDNS state twice: dnsConfigForNetmap walked all
peers to build the dns.Config.Hosts map, and resolver.SetConfig then
walked that map again to build its reverse (PTR) index. On a tailnet
with 10k peers that is a lot of garbage per delta.

Instead, add a resolver.MagicDNSHosts hook, installed once by
LocalBackend, that the quad-100 resolver consults on demand at query
time. It is backed by nodeBackend's nodeByName, nodeByAddr, and peers
indexes, which are already maintained incrementally as netmap deltas
arrive. The subdomain-resolve capability check also moves to the hook
(checking the node's CapMap at query time), so dns.Config's
SubdomainHosts is no longer populated.

dns.Config.Hosts remains for control's DNS.ExtraRecords, which are
few and which feed the split-DNS decisions in dns.Manager's
compileConfig, and on Windows it still carries every node's records
because the hosts-file fallback path (compileHostEntries) needs the
complete enumerable set. Those compileConfig decisions also consulted
the per-node Hosts entries (hasHostsWithoutSplitDNSRoutes), so a new
Config.MagicDNSHostsUnrouted bit preserves that signal now that node
records are not listed: with MagicDNS names present but MagicDNS
domain routing off, quad-100 stays in the OS resolver path.

One small behavior change: reverse (PTR) lookups now also answer for
node addresses whose forward records are filtered out by the
IPv6-suppression rule (issue #1152), since nodeByAddr indexes all node
addresses. Previously such addresses were absent from the pushed
Hosts map and thus from the reverse index.

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.
