What it is about
Your Tailscale network is running, but its central control sits with an outside service. Headscale brings it home: the self-hosted open-source control server runs on your own server, and your devices keep connecting with the familiar Tailscale client.
Every chapter ends with a check of the result, the most common mistakes and a checklist. All commands and settings are based on the official documentation and refer to Headscale v0.29.4.
