I have yet to get headscale to work with my system. No turnkey setup, instructions that lack clarity, and in the end... idk how it's supposed to do the thing.
Then you can just go with Tailscale, it’s 100% turnkey and just works. Even better when combined with NextDNS
I did manage to get it to work, but I recall it took me a while. I have several devices connected to it now though. I'm keenly looking forward to the autogroup:self ACL support so I can set up sensible ACLs and share my net with some mates - I only have my own devices on it right now.
Anything I can share that might help your understanding?
Every system I can run headscale on I need to do it via an nginx reverse proxy
Yes you need a way to expose it over https. A reverse proxy is easiest. I use Caddy.
