# Controlling headscale with remote CLI
This documentation has the goal of showing a user how-to set control a headscale instance
This documentation has the goal of showing a user how-to control a headscale instance
from a remote machine with the `headscale` command line binary.
## Prerequisite
- A workstation to run headscale (could be Linux, macOS, other supported platforms)
- A headscale server (version `0.13.0` or newer)
- Access to create API keys (local access to the headscale server)
- headscale _must_ be served over TLS/HTTPS
- Remote access does _not_ support unencrypted traffic.
- Port `50443` must be open in the firewall (or port overridden by `grpc_listen_addr` option)
- A workstation to run `headscale` (any supported platform, e.g. Linux).
- A headscale server with gRPC enabled.
- Connections to the gRPC port (default: `50443`) are allowed.
- Remote access requires an encrypted connection via TLS.
- An API key to authenticate with the headscale server.
## Create an API key
We need to create an API key to authenticate our remote headscale when using it from our workstation.

1. Configure the CLI through environment variables
1. Provide the connection parameters for the remote headscale server either via a minimal YAML configuration file or via
environment variables:
```shell
export HEADSCALE_CLI_ADDRESS="<HEADSCALE ADDRESS>:<PORT>"
export HEADSCALE_CLI_API_KEY="<API KEY FROM PREVIOUS STAGE>"
```
=== "Minimal YAML configuration file"
for example:
```yaml
cli:
address: <HEADSCALE_ADDRESS>:<PORT>
api_key: <API_KEY_FROM_PREVIOUS_STEP>
```
```shell
export HEADSCALE_CLI_ADDRESS="headscale.example.com:50443"
export HEADSCALE_CLI_API_KEY="abcde12345"
```
=== "Environment variables"
This will tell the `headscale` binary to connect to a remote instance, instead of looking
for a local instance (which is what it does on the server).
```shell
export HEADSCALE_CLI_ADDRESS="<HEADSCALE_ADDRESS>:<PORT>"
export HEADSCALE_CLI_API_KEY="<API_KEY_FROM_PREVIOUS_STEP>"
```
The API key is needed to make sure that you are allowed to access the server. The key is _not_
needed when running directly on the server, as the connection is local.
!!! bug
Headscale 0.23.0 requires at least an empty configuration file when environment variables are used to
specify connection details. See [issue 2193](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/issues/2193) for more
information.
This instructs the `headscale` binary to connect to a remote instance at `<HEADSCALE_ADDRESS>:<PORT>`, instead of
connecting to the local instance.

## Troubleshooting
Checklist:
- Make sure you have the _same_ headscale version on your server and workstation
- Make sure you use version `0.13.0` or newer.
- Verify that your TLS certificate is valid and trusted
- If you do not have access to a trusted certificate (e.g. from Let's Encrypt), add your self signed certificate to the trust store of your OS or
- Set `HEADSCALE_CLI_INSECURE` to 0 in your environment
- Make sure you have the _same_ headscale version on your server and workstation.
- Ensure that connections to the gRPC port are allowed.
- Verify that your TLS certificate is valid and trusted.
- If you don't have access to a trusted certificate (e.g. from Let's Encrypt), either:
- Add your self-signed certificate to the trust store of your OS _or_
- Disable certificate verification by either setting `cli.insecure: true` in the configuration file or by setting
`HEADSCALE_CLI_INSECURE=1` via an environment variable. We do **not** recommend to disable certificate validation.
