# headscale documentation

This page contains the official and community contributed documentation for `headscale`.

If you are having trouble with following the documentation or get unexpected results,
please ask on [Discord](https://discord.gg/XcQxk2VHjx) instead of opening an Issue.

## Official documentation

### How-to

- [Running headscale on Linux](running-headscale-linux.md)
- [Using a Windows client with headscale](windows-client.md)

### References

- [Configuration](../config-example.yaml)
- [Glossary](glossary.md)
- [TLS](tls.md)

## Community documentation

Community documentation is not actively maintained by the headscale authors and is
written by community members. It is _not_ verified by `headscale` developers.

**It might be outdated and it might miss necessary steps**.

- [Running headscale in a container](running-headscale-container.md)

## Misc

### Policy ACLs

Headscale implements the same policy ACLs as Tailscale.com, adapted to the self-hosted environment.

For instance, instead of referring to users when defining groups you must
use namespaces (which are the equivalent to user/logins in Tailscale.com).

Please check https://tailscale.com/kb/1018/acls/, and `./tests/acls/` in this repo for working examples.

### Apple devices

An endpoint with information on how to connect your Apple devices (currently macOS only) is available at `/apple` on your running instance.
Rewrite main documentation This commit starts restructuring the documentation and updating it to be compliant with 0.12.x+ releases. The main change is that the documentation has been rewritten for the ground up, and hopefully simplified. The documentation has been split into an official documentation for running headscale as a binary under Linux with SystemD and a "community" provided documentation for Docker. This should make the two documents a lot easier to read and follow than the mishmash document we had. 2022-01-02 13:11:36 -05:00			`# headscale documentation`
