# headscale
![ci](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)
An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server.
Join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/XcQxk2VHjx) server for a chat.
**Note:** Always select the same GitHub tag as the released version you use
to ensure you have the correct example configuration and documentation.
The `main` branch might contain unreleased changes.
## What is Tailscale
Tailscale is [a modern VPN](https://tailscale.com/) built on top of
[Wireguard](https://www.wireguard.com/).
It [works like an overlay network](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/)
between the computers of your networks - using
[NAT traversal](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works/).
Everything in Tailscale is Open Source, except the GUI clients for proprietary OS
(Windows and macOS/iOS), and the control server.
The control server works as an exchange point of Wireguard public keys for the
nodes in the Tailscale network. It assigns the IP addresses of the clients,
creates the boundaries between each user, enables sharing machines between users,
and exposes the advertised routes of your nodes.
A [Tailscale network (tailnet)](https://tailscale.com/kb/1136/tailnet/) is private
network which Tailscale assigns to a user in terms of private users or an
organisations.
## Design goal
`headscale` aims to implement a self-hosted, open source alternative to the Tailscale
control server. `headscale` has a narrower scope and an instance of `headscale`
implements a _single_ Tailnet, which is typically what a single organisation, or
home/personal setup would use.
`headscale` uses terms that maps to Tailscale's control server, consult the
[glossary](./docs/glossary.md) for explainations.
## Support
If you like `headscale` and find it useful, there is a sponsorship and donation
buttons available in the repo.
If you would like to sponsor features, bugs or prioritisation, reach out to
one of the maintainers.

## Running headscale
Please have a look at the documentation under [`docs/`](docs/).
## Disclaimer
1. We have nothing to do with Tailscale, or Tailscale Inc.
2. The purpose of Headscale is maintaining a working, self-hosted Tailscale control panel.
## Contributing
To contribute to headscale you would need the lastest version of [Go](https://golang.org)
and [Buf](https://buf.build)(Protobuf generator).
PRs and suggestions are welcome.
### Code style
To ensure we have some consistency with a growing number of contributions,
this project has adopted linting and style/formatting rules:
The **Go** code is linted with [`golangci-lint`](https://golangci-lint.run) and
formatted with [`golines`](https://github.com/segmentio/golines) (width 88) and
[`gofumpt`](https://github.com/mvdan/gofumpt).
Please configure your editor to run the tools while developing and make sure to
run `make lint` and `make fmt` before committing any code.
The **Proto** code is linted with [`buf`](https://docs.buf.build/lint/overview) and
formatted with [`clang-format`](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html).
The **rest** (Markdown, YAML, etc) is formatted with [`prettier`](https://prettier.io).
Check out the `.golangci.yaml` and `Makefile` to see the specific configuration.
### Install development tools
- Go
- Buf
- Protobuf tools:
```shell
make install-protobuf-plugins
```
### Testing and building
Some parts of the project require the generation of Go code from Protobuf
(if changes are made in `proto/`) and it must be (re-)generated with:
```shell
make generate
```
**Note**: Please check in changes from `gen/` in a separate commit to make it easier to review.
To run the tests:
```shell
make test
```
To build the program:
```shell
make build
```
