Brad Fitzpatrick a6c5d23742 ipn, ipn/ipnlocal: add Notify.SelfChange
Add a new bus signal that lets reactive consumers (containerboot, kube
agents, sniproxy, tsconsensus, etc.) react to self-node updates without
having to subscribe to the full netmap. Today those consumers either
watch Notify.NetMap (which on large tailnets is expensive to encode and
ship per watcher) or poll. SelfChange is a cheap, narrow alternative:
addresses, name, key expiry, capabilities, etc.

Consumers that need additional state can react to SelfChange and then
fetch the relevant bits on demand via existing LocalClient methods.

Producer-side, every netmap-bearing setControlClientStatus call now
also publishes SelfChange. Future changes will migrate individual
in-tree consumers off Notify.NetMap to this signal, and eventually
gate the legacy NetMap emission to platforms whose host GUIs still
require it.

Updates #12542

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 1.26. (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.
