# Running headscale on Linux
## Requirements
- Ubuntu 20.04 or newer, Debian 11 or newer.
## Goal
Get Headscale up and running.
This includes running Headscale with SystemD.
## Migrating from manual install
If you are migrating from the old manual install, the best thing would be to remove
the files installed by following [the guide in reverse](./running-headscale-linux-manual.md).
You should _not_ delete the database (`/var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite`) and the
configuration (`/etc/headscale/config.yaml`).
## Installation
1. Download the [latest Headscale package](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/releases/latest) for your platform (`.deb` for Ubuntu and Debian).
```shell
HEADSCALE_VERSION="" # See above URL for latest version, e.g. "X.Y.Z" (NOTE: do not add the "v" prefix!)
# Or you can use the following bash one liner
# HEADSCALE_VERSION="$(curl -v https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/releases/latest 2>&1 |grep location | awk -F'/' '{print $NF}' | sed -e 's/v//' | |tr -d '\r')"
HEADSCALE_ARCH="" # Your system architecture, e.g. "amd64"
# Or you can use:
# HEADSCALE_ARCH="$(dpkg --print-architecture)"
wget --output-document=headscale.deb \
"https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/releases/download/v${HEADSCALE_VERSION}/headscale_${HEADSCALE_VERSION}_linux_${HEADSCALE_ARCH}.deb"
```
1. Install Headscale:
```shell
sudo apt install ./headscale.deb
```
1. Enable Headscale service, this will start Headscale at boot:
```shell
sudo systemctl enable headscale
```
1. Configure Headscale by editing the configuration file:
```shell
nano /etc/headscale/config.yaml
```
1. Start Headscale:
```shell
sudo systemctl start headscale
```
1. Check that Headscale is running as intended:
```shell
systemctl status headscale
```
## Using Headscale
### Create a user
```shell
headscale users create myfirstuser
```
### Register a machine (normal login)
On a client machine, run the `tailscale` login command:
```shell
tailscale up --login-server <YOUR_HEADSCALE_URL>
```
Register the machine:
```shell
headscale --user myfirstuser nodes register --key <YOUR_MACHINE_KEY>
```
### Register machine using a pre authenticated key
Generate a key using the command line:
```shell
headscale --user myfirstuser preauthkeys create --reusable --expiration 24h
```
This will return a pre-authenticated key that is used to
connect a node to `headscale` during the `tailscale` command:
```shell
tailscale up --login-server <YOUR_HEADSCALE_URL> --authkey <YOUR_AUTH_KEY>
```
# Sample config.yml
A sane config.yml might look like this
```yaml
