Policy ACLs
Headscale implements the same policy ACLs as Tailscale.com, adapted to the self-hosted environment.
For instance, instead of referring to users when defining groups you must use namespaces (which are the equivalent to user/logins in Tailscale.com).
Please check https://tailscale.com/kb/1018/acls/, and ./tests/acls/ in this repo for working examples.
When using ACL's the Namespace borders are no longer applied. All machines whichever the Namespace have the ability to communicate with other hosts as long as the ACL's permits this exchange.
The ACLs document should help understand a fictional case of setting up ACLs in a small company. All concepts presented in this document could be applied outside of business oriented usage.
Apple devices
An endpoint with information on how to connect your Apple devices (currently macOS only) is available at /apple on your running instance.
