Private go links for your tailnet

Tailscale has introduced golink, an open-source private URL shortener service, designed for use within tailnets, allowing users to create and share memorable links without needing browser extensions or DNS modifications. This service integrates seamlessly with Tailscale, ensuring privacy and security by limiting access to users within the tailnet without requiring additional login credentials or security policies. Inspired by a similar tool developed at Google in 2006, golink provides a simple way to access frequently used resources with short and memorable URLs, such as go/name for easy navigation. Built to run anywhere, golink does not require a Tailscale client installation, thanks to tsnet, which handles Tailscale connections. The service features templated links, facilitating flexible URL redirection based on user-defined parameters, and offers basic statistics tracking for link usage. Golink has been in experimental use for several months within Tailscale, proving to be a versatile and lightweight tool for managing internal links efficiently.
