Brad Fitzpatrick ab4262680b ipn, ipn/ipnlocal: remove Notify.NetMap, size initial status to subscription
Nothing reads ipn.Notify.NetMap anymore. The previous commit removed
its runtime (non-initial) emission, and every first-party client is
also off the initial one: the Win32 and WinUI GUIs and the Apple
bridge subscribe with InitialStatus or InitialState plus peer deltas,
Android no longer uses it, and the remaining in-tree subscribers that set
NotifyInitialNetMap (sniproxy and the kube helpers) only did so to get
the initial Notify.SelfChange and discarded the netmap that tailscaled
built, encoded, and shipped for them.

Delete the Notify.NetMap field and the NotifyInitialNetMap bit. The
bit value stays reserved under the name ObsoleteNotifyInitialNetMap and
ValidateNotifyWatchOpt rejects subscriptions that set it, like the
NotifyRateLimit bit removed in the previous commit. NotifyNoNetMap
remains accepted as a no-op because shipping GUIs still set it.

The blessed way to seed a watcher's view is NotifyInitialStatus, but
it unconditionally built O(peers) status entries, which is exactly the
waste this series is deleting for watchers that only care about the
self node. Size the initial status to the subscription instead:
Status.Peer is only populated when the watcher also set
NotifyPeerChanges or NotifyPeerPatches, since only peer-delta
subscribers need a peer baseline to apply deltas to. That matches its
existing first-party users (containerboot and the WinUI GUI both pair
InitialStatus with peer bits).

Migrate sniproxy and the kube helpers to NotifyInitialStatus: they
seed from InitialStatus.Self and react to the (ungated) runtime
Notify.SelfChange messages after that, so their initial message now
carries one PeerStatus instead of a full netmap.

Also drop doc comment references to LocalClient.NetMap, a method that
does not exist; on-demand fetches go through other LocalAPI methods
such as LocalClient.Status.

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 1.27. (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.
