M. J. Fromberger 9385dfe7f6 ipn/ipnlocal/netmapcache: add a package to split and cache network maps (#18497)
This commit is based on part of #17925, reworked as a separate package.

Add a package that can store and load netmap.NetworkMap values in persistent
storage, using a basic columnar representation. This commit includes a default
storage interface based on plain files, but the interface can be implemented
with more structured storage if we want to later.

The tests are set up to require that all the fields of the NetworkMap are
handled, except those explicitly designated as not-cached, and check that a
fully-populated value can round-trip correctly through the cache.  Adding or
removing fields, either in the NetworkMap or in the cached representation, will
trigger either build failures (e.g., for type mismatch) or test failures (e.g.,
for representation changes or missing fields). This isn't quite as nice as
automatically updating the representation, which I also prototyped, but is much
simpler to maintain and less code.

This commit does not yet hook up the cache to the backend, that will be a
subsequent change.

Updates #12639

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 1.25. (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.
