Roadmap
Last updated: 2026-08-23 | 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 (2026-08-23)
- Go rewrite of the legacy Python
tailvm; on-disk/tailvm-prefixes retained during the transition (SPEC.md). - Five backends supported;
bootccreation 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).
moveis no longer the weakest surface — see docs/backend-parity.md. - Plugin marketplace live (
marketplace/index.json); first-party plugins documented in docs/first-party-plugins.md. Plugin artifacts are published roughly daily (latestplugins-dbb31c0e, 08-21). - ⚠️ Distribution is the weakest surface now (#210): the README's
curl | shpath resolves to acorral-darwin-*asset that does not exist in any of this repo's 70 releases, so macOS fails outright; the installer does not verify theSHA256SUMSit publishes alongside the binary; v0.6.0 was tagged 08-06 with no GitHub Release, so the Releases page still shows v0.5.0 as the newest product release, under 62plugins-<sha>artifact releases. - 🟡 Org CI adoption is blocked, not drafting: tunaos#1273 has been open
since 08-10 and is currently
CONFLICTING. It needs a rebase, not more design. - No milestones on the repo; work is tracked through issues and labels
(
needs-triage,ready-for-agent, …) plus this file.
Priorities
| Priority | Item | Tracking | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| P0 | Fix the advertised install path — macOS 404, unverified download, product releases invisible under plugin artifacts | #210 | 🔴 Open |
| P1 | Unblock the tunaOS boot-gate adoption — rebase the conflicting PR | tunaos#1273 | 🔴 Blocked on conflicts since 08-10 |
| P1 | VDI plugin epic — Windows/Linux desktop pools | #69, docs/vdi-epic-status.md | 🟡 In progress |
| P2 | Programmatic output — --json across commands | #205 | 🔴 Open |
| P2 | Stable plugin API contract + marketplace schema v2 | docs/plugin-marketplace.md | 🟡 In progress |
| P3 | Dependency dashboard / renovate hygiene | #97 | 🔴 Open |
Quarterly Goals
Current Quarter (2026 Q3 — July–September)
Theme: Backend parity, then a front door worth the parity.
| Goal | Owner | Tracking | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proxmox export adapter (move source parity) | architect | #163 | ✅ Done — closed 08-11 |
| Incus image publishing (move destination parity) | architect | #164 | ✅ Done — closed 08-11 |
| Incus E2E suite | quality | #123 | ✅ Done — closed 08-11 |
| Install path works on every OS the installer claims to support | — | #210 | 🔴 Open |
| One visible product release channel, separate from plugin artifacts | — | #210 | 🔴 Open — v0.6.0 tagged, unreleased |
| Merge tunaOS boot-gate adoption | ci-maintainer | tunaos#1273 | 🔴 Conflicting — rebase needed |
| Document stable plugin API + marketplace schema v2 | guide | docs/plugin-marketplace.md | 🟡 In progress |
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)
Technical Debt Backlog
| Item | Issue | Priority | Effort |
|---|---|---|---|
Installer downloads an unverified binary despite publishing SHA256SUMS | #210 | P1 | S |
| 62 per-commit plugin releases crowd the product release feed | #210 | P1 | M |
pkg/proxmox (compat server) vs pkg/proxmoxbe (client) naming confusion | CONTEXT.md | P2 | S |
Legacy tailvm prefix migration completion | SPEC.md | P2 | M |
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, #69 is the large
one, and #210 is the highest-impact for anyone who cares about how the project
reaches new users.
Roadmap Governance
Maintained by the strategist agent; updates after major milestones or quarterly. Propose changes via PR to this file with an issue reference.
Currency rule: a tracker cited in this file that closes must move its row in
the same PR, or the row must name a successor. The 08-10 revision of this file
listed three P0s that all closed the following day and stayed marked open for
twelve days, while pointing newcomers at one of them as a help wanted pick.
