  parent comment was edited, originally said "i thought they [Tailscale] hated that thing [Headscale]" they literally have on their website that they encourage people to use Headscale if they want an open source solution for the coordination server or just to learn how the internals work, they coordinate with Headscale maintainers to avoid breakages, and they don't discourage (but also don't require) employees contributing to Headscale

      you are not the parent comment to my comment - not sure if I used "parent comment" clearly
    • ehPReth 3y ago
      that was me! then i realized in the apps (except iOS?) they allow you to specify your own coordinator server... so if they hated them then they'd never build that in! so i removed that part of my comment before it had any replies that I was aware of edit: see comment below me; iOS now has that ability!

        Also possible on iOS starting in 1.38.1: https://tailscale.com/changelog/#2023-03-14-client https://tailscale.com/changelog/#2023-03-14-client

          Awesome!

        iOS allows that now too as of two releases ago (in 1.38.1). Go to the system Settings app, scroll down down down through your apps to Tailscale, and set the "Alternate Coordination Server URL".

    ah! very cool. thanks for the context :). I must have missed the shoutout on the website. It's cool that they coordinate with headscale to avoid breakages as well
