Wails3 falls back to its bundled bird logo when no Icon is supplied via
application.Options or LinuxWindow. Embed the 256x256 NetBird PNG and
wire it through both fields, plus set ProgramName=netbird so GTK's
g_set_prgname picks up the icon from the installed .desktop file. Tested
on Fedora 40 + KDE Plasma; the titlebar and taskbar now show the NetBird
logo.
Repoint goreleaser configs and the release workflow at client/ui-wails so
the published Linux deb/rpm, Windows binaries and macOS UI binaries are
built from the Wails source. Linux nfpm deps swap libappindicator/Fyne
GL stack for libgtk-3, libwebkit2gtk-4.1 and libayatana-appindicator3,
and the packaged .desktop file launches the binary with
WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 so RDP/VM sessions render correctly.
Frontend bindings are now committed; the release jobs add Node 20 and
pnpm 9 and run the frontend build via the goreleaser before-hook.
Adds a SubscribeStatus gRPC RPC that pushes a fresh FullStatus snapshot
on every peer-recorder state change, replacing the Wails UI's 2-second
Status poll. The daemon's notifier already triggers on Connected /
Disconnected / Connecting / management or signal flip / address
change / peers-list change; we now coalesce those into ticks on a
buffered chan and stream the resulting snapshots over gRPC.
- Status recorder gains SubscribeToStateChanges /
UnsubscribeFromStateChanges + a non-blocking notifyStateChange that
drops ticks when a subscriber's 1-slot buffer is full (next snapshot
the consumer pulls already reflects everything).
- Server.Status handler split: the snapshot composition is shared
with the new SubscribeStatus stream handler so unary and stream
paths return identical bytes.
- UI peers service: pollLoop replaced by statusStreamLoop. The local
name of the existing SubscribeEvents loop is now toastStreamLoop so
the two streams are easy to tell apart — the underlying RPC name is
unchanged.
- Tray applyStatus skips the icon refresh when connected/lastStatus
hasn't changed; rapid SubscribeStatus bursts during health probes
no longer churn Shell_NotifyIcon or the log.
The SVG-derived tray icons + multi-resolution .ico path looked correct on
disk but Wails3's Shell_NotifyIcon update never landed on the running
Windows tray — the icon stayed frozen on the .exe resource regardless of
how many times we called SetIcon. Single-PNG fed through the same path
updates correctly, so revert to the source-of-truth PNGs that ship with
the legacy Fyne UI and remove the icons_windows.go / tray_icon_*.go
split. The 6 colored tray PNGs and 6 macOS-template PNGs come from
client/ui/assets verbatim. Generation pipeline (assets/svg/) is gone.
The default Windows build links the binary as a GUI subsystem app, so
stdout/stderr is detached from the launching terminal — invisible logrus
output makes tray and event-stream bugs hard to chase. Add a sibling task
that links as console subsystem and writes a separately-named binary so
the production output is preserved.
Usage:
CGO_ENABLED=1 task windows:build:console
bin\netbird-ui-console.exe # logs print to the launching cmd/PowerShell
Stage 1 of the client/ui (Fyne) replacement. Adds a new client/ui-wails
module that runs on Linux/macOS/Windows from a single React + Vite +
Tailwind frontend driven by a thin gRPC services layer in Go.
- Single-module integration (no submodule): merge Wails3 into root go.mod
with build tags !android !ios !freebsd !js so cross-compiles on those
targets exclude the package automatically.
- Seven gRPC-bound services: Connection, Settings, Networks, Profiles,
Debug, Update, Peers. Peers bridges Status polling and SubscribeEvents
to the Wails event bus (netbird:status, netbird:event).
- Tray + window shell mirrors the Fyne menu 1:1 with hide-on-close,
SIGUSR1 / Windows named-event for external "show window" triggers.
- React pages cover functional parity for Status, Settings (3 tabs),
Networks (3 tabs), Profiles, Debug, Update, QuickActions, LoginUrl.
- SVG-sourced tray icons (12 source SVGs incl. macOS template variants)
rasterized to PNG via task common:generate:tray:icons.
- Linux launcher sets WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 in the .desktop
Exec= line and in task linux:run so the app renders correctly under
RDP, VirtualBox, KVM, and bare WMs (Fluxbox/dwm) without DRM access.
