Headscale & Tailscale – MacOS Installation
Here’s how to install Tailscale with a Headscale server on macOS. First, download and install the Tailscale application found on Tailscale Web site.
Additionally, I wrote this blog post in French. After open the application, in the menu bar, click on the Tailscale icon while holding down the “option” key, then click on the “Debug” and “Add Account” menus to specify your alternative (Headscale) server.
Add the url of your Headscale server and click on “Add Account”.
A window of your browser will open with the information to create the Headscale account.
Retrieve the value of mkey, 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 “Machinery” page, click “Add Device”, add the character string mkey:xxx, choose the user and click “Register”.
I invite you to read or return to the Headscale and Tailscale post.
