Headscale
An open source implementation of the Tailscale coordination server.
Status
- Basic functionality (nodes can communicate with each other)
- Node registration through the web flow
- Network changes are relied to the nodes
- Node registration via pre-auth keys
- Multiuser support
- ACLs
- DNS
... and probably lots of stuff missing
Roadmap 🤷
Adding multiuser support seems doable. Rather than actual users, this multi-tenancy will probably look more like namespaces in Kubernetes - a logical partitioning of resources created with a CLI.
Pre-auth keys should also be feasible.
Suggestions/PRs welcomed!
Running it
- Compile the headscale binary
go build cmd/headscale/headscale.go
- Get youself a PostgreSQL DB running (yes, I know)
docker run --name headscale -e POSTGRES_DB=headscale -e \
POSTGRES_USER=foo -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=bar -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
- Sort some stuff up (headscale Wireguard keys & the config.json file)
wg genkey > private.key
wg pubkey < private.key > public.key # not needed
cp config.json.example config.json
- Run the server
./headscale serve
- Add your first machine
tailscale up -login-server YOUR_HEADSCALE_URL
-
Navigate to the URL you will get with
tailscale up
, where you'll find your machine key. -
Register your machine using the headscale CLI
./headscale register YOURMACHINEKEY
