M. J. Fromberger ce12863ee5 ipn/ipnlocal: manage per-profile subdirectories in TailscaleVarRoot (#18485)
In order to better manage per-profile data resources on the client, add methods
to the LocalBackend to support creation of per-profile directory structures in
local storage. These methods build on the existing TailscaleVarRoot config, and
have the same limitation (i.e., if no local storage is available, it will
report an error when used).

The immediate motivation is to support netmap caching, but we can also use this
mechanism for other per-profile resources including pending taildrop files and
Tailnet Lock authority caches.

This commit only adds the directory-management plumbing; later commits will
handle migrating taildrop, TKA, etc. to this mechanism, as well as caching
network maps.

Updates #12639

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 1.25. (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.
