# Headscale
|
|
An open source implementation of the Tailscale coordination server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
- [x] Basic functionality (nodes can communicate with each other)
|
|
- [x] Node registration through the web flow
|
|
- [x] 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
|
|
|
|
1. Compile the headscale binary
|
|
```shell
|
|
go build cmd/headscale/headscale.go
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Get youself a PostgreSQL DB running (yes, [I know](https://tailscale.com/blog/an-unlikely-database-migration/))
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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)
|
|
```shell
|
|
wg genkey > private.key
|
|
wg pubkey < private.key > public.key # not needed
|
|
cp config.json.example config.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Run the server
|
|
```shell
|
|
./headscale serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Add your first machine
|
|
```shell
|
|
tailscale up -login-server YOUR_HEADSCALE_URL
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. Navigate to the URL you will get with `tailscale up`, where you'll find your machine key.
|
|
|
|
7. Register your machine using the headscale CLI
|
|
```shell
|
|
./headscale register YOURMACHINEKEY
|
|
```
|
|
