This is a bot account spamming LLM-generated comments. Probably to advertise their website.
Thats kind of wild, mostly because -- presuming it's correct, what bot is saying is actually valuable here?

Could you give a brief description of your use case? I'm looking at all the tailscale buzzwords on their site, but am not really understanding what I would use this for in my home setup
Not sure about the parent, but here's what I use it for: A) easy access my other, older machines from my phone or work laptop to: - self-host a Coolify server (a "vercel-lite" control panel) - remote connect to my older laptop to run tests/longer coding tasks for work (e.g. large browser test suites, sandboxed claude running in bg to answer longer code questions, or build fire and forget spikes/experiments) - control…

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.

As often stated, Headscale is not enterprise software and our focus is homelabbers and self-hosters. Of course, we do not prevent people from using it in a commercial/professional setting and often get questions about scaling. > Please note that when Headscale is developed, performance is…
I mean this is a great advertisement in and of itself. Something being considered "enterprise software" means it will have 90% more features than needed, the code will be a combination of dozens of different mid-level devs new perfect abstractions and will only test code paths through all those features that the original enterprise valued. I.E. it is great if you work in an enterprise as it will generate a lot of work with an easy scapegoat.

I have one VPS node that I use as a connector, where the headscale app is installed. I have this on a domain (for convenience), so think something like: hs.mygreatplace.com Now, when I install Tailscale client on any device (phones, tablets, Linux machines, proxmox nodes, etc.), I simply say: don't use the tailscale network for this, please route this over my own network, so you point it to hs.mygreatplace.com as a c…
A 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
What about DNS integration? As far as I know, you can't resolve nodes by name (http://media-server), you have to use node's internal IP.

Nebula uses lighthouses instead of DNS for finding other nodes. https://github.com/slackhq/nebula?tab=readme-ov-file#2-optio...
That's what I've read (when evaluating Nebula), at least.

What do you mean?
Referring to the previous person's comment, that you need to manage a PKI and have to distribute the keys yourself, no auth/login etc.
I made a shell script that does most of that for my needs.
I was previously using headscale and was finding it a bit finicky. Recently switched to self hosted netbird and its been great so far. However, if the Netbird teams sees this, please implement a built-in updater for the client apps! needing to download and install the package again is a bit annoying
Long-time ZeroTier user here. Recently switched to NetBird (self-hosted on a Hetzner VPS) and it’s been seamless so far. DNS functionality is excellent (something ZeroTier lacked), and the access-control model is very well designed. It’s easy to understand what’s going on and to grant one-off access when needed. Only real and very minor gripe is the Android app: I wish it were on F-Droid and a bit more robust, as it…
