Headscale & Tailscale – iOS Installation

  • Headscale et Tailscale – iOS Featured

Here’s the procedure for installing Tailscale with a Headscale server on iOS. First, install the Tailscale application via the App Store. Additionally, I wrote this blog post in French too.

Click on “Get” (1) and “Open” (2), authorize Tailscale to add a VPN configuration (3), click on the user icon at top right (4), click on “Add Account” then “Use a custom coordinator server” (5).

Add url of our Headscale server (6), click on “log in” (7), click on “continue” (8).

Finally, retrieve the value of mkey (9), then open a terminal on the Headscale machine and execute this command:

docker exec headscale headscale nodes register --user USERNAME --key mkey:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

To do this via the HeadPlane interface, on the “Machines” page, click on “Add Device”, add the string mkey:xxx, select the user and click on “Register”.

I invite you to read or return to the Headscale and Tailscale post.
