About Headscale

Headscale is an open-source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server for WireGuard networks. It is aimed at developers and small teams who prefer owning their stack, with documentation, an active community and deployment options that range from a single container to managed cloud. Because the project is transparent about how it works, teams can inspect, extend and migrate it without being locked into a black box.
