Misc
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.
Apple devices
An endpoint with information on how to connect your Apple devices (currently macOS only) is available at /apple on your running instance.
