Apparently they've deprecated Postgres support and now only recommend sqlite as the storage backend. I have nothing against sqlite but to me this looks like Tailscale actively signaling what they think the expected use of headscale is.
I dont understand what these two have to do with anything? The db-use is almost trivial, and SQLite can be embedded. Why would we want wasted effort and configuration complexity on supporting postgres?

#103A bit lower level than most things discussed here but on the topic of overlay networks, I’ve used nebula for years and can recommend it https://github.com/slackhq/nebula
it his much complex to setup then wireguard based?
What it doesn't offer is a gui or tool to handle copying/installing/revocating keys so you trade super easy setup for a handful of nodes to management overhead if you are scaling up and down regularly.

#104I've head Netbird running for the last few months... In general it works quite well, but it would keep messing with my dns-resolving, and I couldn't find the setting to stop it inserting itself into my resolv.conf. During the last few weeks I've removed netbird from all my systems (about 12), mostly because of issues on laptops where resolving or networking would break after they moved to a different network/location…
You can find the option under "DNS > DNS Settings > Disable DNS management for these groups". Netbird will stop modifying the resolv.conf on those groups.

#105(Shamless plug) I am also working on a similar FOSS, self-hosted project called Octelium https://github.com/octelium/octelium that you might find interesting if you are interested in this space. Octelium is, however, more of a generic/unified zero trust secure access platform that can operate as a remote access VPN, a ZTNA platform, API/AI/MCP gateway, a PaaS, an ngrok-alternative and a homelab infrastructure. It pro…
I've been keeping my eye on this one, it's very interesting. Feel free to ignore this, but, what's your long term plan here? I see you have Enterprise plans (especially that allow different licenses). From what I can tell you're the only contributor, but, I assume that if you accepted contributions there'd be a CLA?

With that kind of logic you wouldn't need headscale and would just ask your favorite LLM to write a similar tool for your with your own requirements and nothing else.

#109I can only recommend giving headscale a try. It's free, works extremely well, and can be used with the official Tailscale clients. Was super easy to set up. https://headscale.net/stable/

On a different note; the HN obsession with SQLite these days is getting a bit tiresome.

Is Headscale suitable for production use?
