In this PR, we enable extensions to track changes in the current prefs. These changes can result from a profile switch or from the user or system modifying the current profile’s prefs. Since some extensions may want to distinguish between the two events, while others may treat them similarly, we rename the existing profile-change callback to become a profile-state-change callback and invoke it whenever the current profile or its preferences change. Extensions can still use the sameNode parameter to distinguish between situations where the profile information, including its preferences, has been updated but still represents the same tailnet node, and situations where a switch to a different profile has been made. Having dedicated prefs-change callbacks is being considered, but currently seems redundant. A single profile-state-change callback is easier to maintain. We’ll revisit the idea of adding a separate callback as we progress on extracting existing features from LocalBackend, but the conversion to a profile-state-change callback is intended to be permanent. Finally, we let extensions retrieve the current prefs or profile state (profile info + prefs) at any time using the new CurrentProfileState and CurrentPrefs methods. We also simplify the NewControlClientCallback signature to exclude profile prefs. It’s optional, and extensions can retrieve the current prefs themselves if needed.

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.
