     I understand people sharing TailScale for convenience.

     I have trouble understanding people sharing #TailScale for #SelfHosting though. Their server software isn't hostable. Even if you use their server, which seems contrary to *self* hosting, well you also have to use servers from either Google, Apple or Microsoft, just to log in unless you also want to maintain an OIDC provider, which negates the "convenience" always touted.

     Run what you wish, but recommending for SelfHosting seems odd.

     @Blort @x As a selfhoster you can use plain #wireguard instead. Doable as long as your infrastructure does not change all the time. I haven’t tried headscale myself.

     @Blort @x @pu I'd argue it's still quite doable as long as you have routable addresses to point to. The configs fer wireguard really ain't that hard to understand, even for novice technical readers. 😜

     @eshep @Blort @x My sole problem is distributing updated configs to mobile devices of friends. I wrote a script to create config files with secret keys and IPv6 config, that’s a little cumbersome by hand but, again, doable for a limited number of devices.
