Curious why you want to run Headscale? Is it purely to avoid the risks of the coordination server?

Curious why you want to run Headscale? Is it purely to avoid the risks of the coordination server?
- codethief 3y agoYes, and because Tailscale requires me to use a third-party identity provider.
- sconi 3y agoGot it. Makes sense. A big part of why we're building Bowtie. https://bowtie.works https://bowtie.works . We stay out of the critical path.
- andrew-d 3y agoAs of about a month ago, you can self-host your own OIDC identity provider; for example, Ory Hydra is open-source. https://tailscale.com/blog/custom-oidc/ https://tailscale.com/blog/custom-oidc/
- codethief 3y agoThanks, I did read that blog post but adding yet another dependency to my stack just for authentication of a single user (me)? I don't know… Then I might as well just install Headscale.
