## 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. Run it (asuming you have renamed the config.json.example to config.json)
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
./headcale
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Add your first machine
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
tailscale up -login-server YOUR_HEADSCALE_URL
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
