# headscale
An open source implementation of the Tailscale coordination server.
## Disclaimer
1. I have nothing to do with Tailscale, or Tailscale Inc. Just a fan of their tech.
2. The purpose of writing this was to learn a bit how Tailscale works. Hence the emojis in the log messages and other terrible code.
3. I don't use Headscale myself (their Solo plan + DERP infra is way more convenient).
4. Headscale adds all the machines under the same user. Be careful!
## Running it
1. Compile the headscale binary
```
go build cmd/headscale/headscale.go
```
2. Get youself a PostgreSQL DB running.
```
docker run --name headscale -e POSTGRES_DB=headscale -e \
POSTGRES_USER=foo -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=bar -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
```
3. Sort some stuff up (headscale Wireguard keys & the config.json file)
```
wg genkey > private.key
wg pubkey < private.key > public.key
cp config.json.example config.json
```
4. Run it
```
./headscale
```
5. Add your first machine
```
tailscale up -login-server YOUR_HEADSCALE_URL
```
