Brad Fitzpatrick cf520a3371 feature/featuretags: add LazyWG modular feature
Due to iOS memory limitations in 2020 (see
https://tailscale.com/blog/go-linker, etc) and wireguard-go using
multiple goroutines per peer, commit 16a9cfe2f4ce7d introduced some
convoluted pathsways through Tailscale to look at packets before
they're delivered to wireguard-go and lazily reconfigure wireguard on
the fly before delivering a packet, only telling wireguard about peers
that are active.

We eventually want to remove that code and integrate wireguard-go's
configuration with Tailscale's existing netmap tracking.

To make it easier to find that code later, this makes it modular. It
saves 12 KB (of disk) to turn it off (at the expense of lots of RAM),
but that's not really the point. The point is rather making it obvious
(via the new constants) where this code even is.

Updates #12614

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.
