Roadmap

Last updated: 2026-09-17 | Maintainer: tuna-os (hanthor) / architect agent

Mission​

Corral herds VMs — and containers — into your tailnet. A single Go binary with a CLI, TUI, and web dashboard, it manages VMs across five backends (qemu, kubevirt, incus, libvirt, proxmox) and exposes every guest over the Tailscale network your devices already share. It is also the org's emerging CI boot-gate tool: tunaos#1273 adopts Corral to gate ISO builds on boot evidence.

Current Status (2026-09-17)​

  • Go rewrite of the legacy Python tailvm; on-disk/tailvm- prefixes retained during the transition (SPEC.md).
  • Five backends supported; bootc creation mode builds a bootable-container disk on-cluster and runs it as a KubeVirt VM.
  • ✅ Backend move parity closed 2026-08-11: the Proxmox export adapter (#163) and Incus image publishing (#164) both landed, and the Incus backend gained end-to-end coverage (#123). move is no longer the weakest surface — see docs/backend-parity.md.
  • ✅ Distribution and release infrastructure repaired (September 2026):
    • macOS release binary builds published and installer checksum verification added (#315).
    • Release workflow updated to stamp release tags properly without crowding product releases under plugin artifacts (#316).
  • 🟡 Org CI adoption blocked on rebase: tunaos#1273 remains open (CONFLICTING), needing a rebase to gate ISO builds on boot evidence.
  • No milestones on the repo; work is tracked through issues and labels (needs-triage, ready-for-agent, …) plus this file.

Next Quarter (2026 Q4 — October–December)​

Theme: Enterprise readiness

  • VDI plugin GA (desktop pools for Windows/Linux) — #69
  • Plugin marketplace growth: schema v2, signed releases, SBOM
  • Supply-chain hardening aligned with org Q4 (package signing/SBOM, tunaos#1187)
  • Backend support matrix + upgrade/migration documentation (5 backends × tailnet)

How to Contribute​

Issues are triaged with needs-triage / ready-for-agent / ready-for-human labels (see docs/agents/issue-tracker.md). The open surface is small right now — #205 (--json output) is the most self-contained pick, and #69 is the large VDI epic.
