Cool! Any important features you miss when running Headscale?



Mostly support for features relevant to multi tenancy - official tailscale stuff does things like separate "tailnets" that belong to different accounts which have different SSO, but you can share access to hosts between tailnets with ACL rules, etc. Also tailscale funnel which uses tailscale-hosted service to provide ingress to host behind VPN.

And of course the API used to manage the official server, so the rare things that depend on it won't work, but it's more a case that the project doesn't have the need to work on it


Nothing that I've noticed. I actually have never run vanilla Tailscale without Headscale so I'm not sure.

I think auto TLS requires some extra config, and DNS rules. I don't use it so I'm not sure.


DoH DNS support (beyond the single existing NextDNS option)
