Requirements

Headscale should just work as long as the following requirements are met:

  • A server with a public IP address for headscale. A dual-stack setup with a public IPv4 and a public IPv6 address is recommended.
  • Headscale is served via HTTPS on port 4431.
  • A reasonably modern Linux or BSD based operating system.
  • A dedicated user account to run headscale.
  • A little bit of command line knowledge to configure and operate headscale.

Assumptions

The headscale documentation and the provided examples are written with a few assumptions in mind:

  • Headscale is running as system service via a dedicated user headscale.
  • The configuration is loaded from /etc/headscale/config.yaml.
  • SQLite is used as database.
  • The data directory for headscale (used for private keys, ACLs, SQLite database, …) is located in /var/lib/headscale.
  • URLs and values that need to be replaced by the user are either denoted as <VALUE_TO_CHANGE> or use placeholder values such as headscale.example.com.

Please adjust to your local environment accordingly.

  1. The Tailscale client assumes HTTPS on port 443 in certain situations. Serving headscale either via HTTP or via HTTPS on a port other than 443 is possible but sticking with HTTPS on port 443 is strongly recommended for production setups. See issue 2164 for more information. ↩︎
