headscale is an awesome project. And I love tailscale as a product.
But this is where netbird beats tailscale: coordinator server open sourced out/self hosted out the gate.
Headscale is currently maintained by a few tailscale employees on their spare time. Currently, Tailscale allows this to happen but clearly there’s some internal management of what gets downstreamed to headscale.
What I don’t like about headscale is that you can only host a single coordinator server as well. If I need to do maintenance on the server, it means an impact to the tailnet. It’s rare but annoying.

It’s rare but annoying. Any p2p connections should keep working for some time even if the coordinator goes down... right?
- redeeman 9mo agocan confirm that connections do not die while taking the coordinator down during update (not long time, but still)
