## Design goal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Headscale aims to implement a self-hosted, open source alternative to the Tailscale
|
|
|
|
|
control server.
|
|
|
|
|
Headscale's goal is to provide self-hosters and hobbyists with an open-source
|
|
|
|
|
server they can use for their projects and labs.
|
|
|
|
|
It implements a narrower scope, a single Tailnet, suitable for a personal use, or a small
|
|
|
|
|
open-source organisation.

## Contributing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Headscale is "Open Source, acknowledged contribution", this means that any
|
|
|
|
|
contribution will have to be discussed with the Maintainers before being submitted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This model has been chosen to reduce the risk of burnout by limiting the
|
|
|
|
|
maintenance overhead of reviewing and validating third-party code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Headscale is open to code contributions for bug fixes without discussion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you find mistakes in the documentation, please submit a fix to the documentation.
