headscale

headscale is an open-source utility for Linux, provided as a snap package. It is intended for Linux users and administrators who need to run and manage the headscale service. The package includes both the service and the headscale command used to interact with it.

The service runs with headscale serve and is started automatically when the snap is installed. It includes an initial example configuration to help set up the service. Configuration is managed by editing /var/snap/headscale/common/config.yaml, while separate security and hardening documentation covers related setup considerations.

As a Linux utility, headscale fits the Utilities category and is distributed through MirrorNest as a direct mirror of the official build. MirrorNest stores the build on its own infrastructure and scans it for malware before publishing. The snap is maintained by Canonical and is not necessarily endorsed or officially maintained by the upstream developers.
