I setup and switched to Headscale last night. It was relatively simple, I spent more time installing a web GUI to manage it to be honest, the actual server is simple enough. The native Tailscale Android app even works with it thankfully.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club running locally, of on a VPS?

@bender@twtxt.net on my hosted VPS, as I’m on Starlink which is CGNAT, I need some sort of external intermediary.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club my understanding is that headscale has to be publicly accessible anyway for all peers to be able to reach it right?

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Yeah AFAIK I think it uses STUN to punch holes thorugh CGNAT and any firewalls so it all “just works”™ 😅

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club I wanted to ask you, are you running Headscale and WireGuard on the same VPS? I want to test Headscale, but currently run a small container with WireGuard, and I wonder if I need to stop (and eventually get rid of) the container to get Headscale going. Did you use the provided .deb to install Headscale, or some other method?
