The auto-update feature was driven by two narrow Wails events
(netbird:update:available and :progress) plus a SystemEvent-metadata
iteration on the React side. Both surfaces had to know the daemon
metadata schema (new_version_available, enforced, progress_window),
and the frontend had no pull endpoint to seed its state on mount.
Extract the state machine into a new client/ui/updater package, mirroring
how i18n and preferences are split between domain logic and a thin
services facade. The package owns the State type, the metadata-key
parsing, the mutex-guarded Holder, and the single netbird:update:state
event. services.Update keeps the daemon RPCs (Trigger, GetInstallerResult,
Quit) and gains GetState as a Wails pull endpoint.
Tray-side update behaviour moves out of tray.go into a dedicated
trayUpdater (tray_update.go): owns its menu item, OS notification,
click handler, and the /update window opener triggered by the
daemon's progress_window:show. tray.go drops three callbacks and four
fields, and reads hasUpdate through the updater.
Frontend ClientVersionContext now seeds from Update.GetState() and
subscribes to netbird:update:state; the status.events iteration and
metadata-key string literals are gone. UpdateAvailableBanner renders
only for the enforced && !installing branch and labels its action
"Install now"; UpdateVersionCard splits the install vs. download
branches by Enforced so the disabled flow routes to GitHub.
Adds a tray + React translation pipeline driven by a single JSON locale
tree (frontend/src/i18n/locales) embedded into the Go binary. The tray
re-renders on language switch via a Localizer that subscribes to the
preferences store.
Layout:
- client/ui/i18n: Bundle, LanguageCode, Language, errors, embedded-FS
loader. Pure domain, no Wails/daemon deps.
- client/ui/preferences: Store + UIPreferences for user-scope UI state,
persisted under os.UserConfigDir()/netbird/ui-preferences.json with
atomic writes and a subscribe/broadcast channel.
- client/ui/services: thin Wails-binding facades (services.I18n,
services.Preferences) so React sees ctx-first signatures.
- client/ui/localizer.go: tray bridge that owns the active language,
exposes T()/StatusLabel() and re-paints the menu on prefs change.
- tray.go: every user-facing const replaced by translation keys via
t.loc.T(...); menu rebuild + state replay on language switch.
- main.go: //go:embed all:frontend/src/i18n/locales, wires Bundle ->
Store -> Localizer -> Wails facades in order.
Frontend API exposed via Wails bindings: I18n.Languages, I18n.Bundle,
Preferences.Get, Preferences.SetLanguage, plus the
netbird:preferences:changed event.
Includes regenerated Wails TS bindings (peers/profileswitcher/etc.
re-emitted as part of the build) and en/hu seed bundles.
The optimistic Connecting paint and the Idle/stale-Connected
suppression lived in the tray's applyStatus, so only the tray got the
smoothed-out transition during a profile switch — the React Status
page (useStatus hook in frontend) subscribes to the same
netbird:status event and was seeing the raw daemon stream, complete
with the Disconnected blink.
Move the policy one layer up into the Peers service, between
SubscribeStatus and the Wails event bus, so every consumer downstream
sees the same filtered stream:
* Peers gains BeginProfileSwitch / CancelProfileSwitch / shouldSuppress.
BeginProfileSwitch sets the in-progress flag and emits a synthetic
Connecting status so both the tray and React paint Connecting
immediately. shouldSuppress swallows the daemon's stale Connected
(peer-count teardown) and transient Idle (Down between flows)
until Connecting / NeedsLogin / LoginFailed / SessionExpired /
DaemonUnavailable indicates the new profile's flow has started,
or a 30s safety timeout fires.
* ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive calls peers.BeginProfileSwitch when
wasActive (prevStatus was Connected or Connecting) — the only
cases where the daemon emits the blink-inducing sequence. Other
prevStatuses already terminate cleanly on Idle.
* Tray loses its switchInProgress fields, applyOptimisticConnecting
helper, applyStatus suppression switch, and switchProfile's
optimistic-paint call. handleDisconnect now calls
Peers.CancelProfileSwitch alongside cancelling switchCancel, so
the abort path bypasses the suppression filter and the daemon's
Idle paints through immediately.
The full prevStatus -> action / optimistic label / suppressed events
matrix now lives in the ProfileSwitcher struct godoc, with the
suppression-rule-per-incoming-status table on the Peers struct
godoc — together they describe the click-time policy and the
stream-filter behaviour without duplication.
Wails bindings need regenerating to pick up Peers.BeginProfileSwitch
and Peers.CancelProfileSwitch.
The Fyne UI used to write the active profile to both fronts on every
switch (profile.go:264-273): the daemon SwitchProfile RPC for
/var/lib/netbird/active_profile.json, then profileManager.SwitchProfile
for the user-side ~/Library/Application Support/netbird/active_profile.
The Wails ProfileSwitcher only kept the first.
Without the user-side mirror, a UI tray switch updates the daemon's
state but the CLI ProfileManager.GetActiveProfile() still returns the
stale "default". The next "netbird up" then sends ProfileName="default"
in the Login/Up request, and the daemon silently switches back to
default, reverting whatever the user just picked in the tray.
Mirror the daemon switch with profilemanager.NewProfileManager().
SwitchProfile after the daemon RPC succeeds. The daemon stays the
authority — a user-side write failure is logged as a warning, not a
hard error.
The UI never needs to block on Up — status updates flow via the
SubscribeStatus stream. Hardcode Async:true in Connection.Up and remove
the Async field from UpParams so frontend callers are unaffected.
Down and Up(async=true) are both fast RPCs; no background goroutine
is needed. SwitchActive is now fully synchronous — the tray wraps the
call in its own goroutine, and Wails handles React calls similarly.
Switch RPC errors are now returned synchronously to the caller so the
tray can show a toast immediately on invalid-profile or other early
failures. Down and Up run in a background goroutine so the caller
returns fast; Up still uses async=true so the goroutine is short-lived.
The daemon's Up RPC previously always blocked in waitForUp (up to 50s)
until the engine connected. The UI does not need this — status updates
already flow through the SubscribeStatus stream.
Add bool async = 4 to UpRequest. When true the daemon starts
connectWithRetryRuns and returns immediately; the CLI path (async=false,
the default) is unchanged.
ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive now sets Async:true so all three RPCs
(Status, Switch, Down, Up) return quickly. The background goroutine and
its associated race condition are removed entirely.
Both the tray and the React Profiles page previously had separate
switching logic: the tray applied a status-aware reconnect policy
(Down for error states, Up only when previously Connected/Connecting),
while the React page always called Switch + Up unconditionally with no
Down for LoginFailed/NeedsLogin/SessionExpired.
Introduce a single ProfileSwitcher service that encapsulates the full
reconnect policy. SwitchActive queries the current daemon status, calls
Switch, and launches Down/Up in a background goroutine so the caller
returns immediately after the Switch RPC completes. Both the tray and
the React Profiles page now delegate to this service.
Export the daemon status string constants (StatusConnected, etc.) from
the services package so tray.go no longer duplicates them as private
constants.
The Profiles submenu label now reflects the active profile name instead
of the static "Profiles" text. A disabled email item appears directly
below it in the main menu, matching the legacy Fyne/systray behaviour.
Email is read from the per-profile state file via profilemanager in the
UI process — not through the daemon RPC — because the daemon runs as
root and its getConfigDir() resolves to the root home directory, making
the user-owned state file inaccessible from the daemon side.
The status snapshot tore down on every management retry because
state.Status() blanks the status when an error is wrapped, and the
SubscribeStatus stream propagated that as FailedPrecondition. The UI
treated any stream error as "daemon not running" and flickered the tray
to Not running between retries.
Disconnect was also unresponsive: Down set Idle before the retry
goroutine exited, which then overwrote it with Set(Connecting) on the
next attempt; the backoff sleep (up to 15s) wasn't context-aware, so the
goroutine kept running long after actCancel.
- buildStatusResponse falls back to the underlying status (via new
state.CurrentStatus) instead of breaking the stream on wrapped errors.
- UI only flips to DaemonUnavailable on codes.Unavailable / non-status
errors, so a live daemon returning FailedPrecondition is not reported
as down.
- connect retry uses backoff.WithContext so actCancel interrupts the
inter-attempt sleep, and skips Wrap(err) when the dial fails due to
ctx cancellation.
- Down sets Idle after waiting for giveUpChan, so the retry goroutine
can no longer race the disconnect.
- Tray hides Connect during Connecting and keeps Disconnect enabled so
the user can abort an in-flight connection attempt.
Port IPv6 overlay support (#5631) into the Wails UI:
- Add DisableIPv6 config toggle to Settings (NetworkTab + services)
- Filter ::/0 alongside 0.0.0.0/0 as an exit-node route
- Suppress duplicate v6 default-route notifications in tray
The status stream emits a synthetic StatusDaemonUnavailable when the
gRPC client or stream cannot be established, fired once per outage and
cleared on the next real snapshot. The tray maps it to a "Not running"
status label, switches the icon to the error variant, hides
Connect/Disconnect (neither would work without the daemon), and
disables Settings, Networks and Create Debug Bundle so the user is not
routed to pages that would just fail to load.
Removes the legacy fyne-based client/ui implementation and renames the
Wails replacement (client/ui-wails) to take its place at client/ui. Go
imports, frontend bindings, CI workflows, goreleaser configs and the
windows .syso icon path are updated to follow the rename.
