In this PR, we refactor the LocalBackend extension system, moving from direct callbacks to a more organized extension host model. Specifically, we: - Extract interface and callback types used by packages extending LocalBackend functionality into a new ipn/ipnext package. - Define ipnext.Host as a new interface that bridges extensions with LocalBackend. It enables extensions to register callbacks and interact with LocalBackend in a concurrency-safe, well-defined, and controlled way. - Move existing callback registration and invocation code from ipnlocal.LocalBackend into a new type called ipnlocal.ExtensionHost, implementing ipnext.Host. - Improve docs for existing types and methods while adding docs for the new interfaces. - Add test coverage for both the extracted and the new code. - Remove ipn/desktop.SessionManager from tsd.System since ipn/desktop is now self-contained. - Update existing extensions (e.g., ipn/auditlog and ipn/desktop) to use the new interfaces where appropriate. We're not introducing new callback and hook types (e.g., for ipn.Prefs changes) just yet, nor are we enhancing current callbacks, such as by improving conflict resolution when more than one extension tries to influence profile selection via a background profile resolver. These further improvements will be submitted separately.

Tailscale
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:
- the Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
- the Synology package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-synology
- the QNAP package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-qpkg
- the Chocolatey packaging is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-chocolatey
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 1.23. (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.
