Love headscale, we just took it to production and it’s been great

As in you rolled out an internal service for the whole company?!

I’d love to see a write-up on that.

Especially in the unlikely event that you used Nix for the deployment.

I've done exactly that: headscale in production at work, a few hundred client devices, infrastructure mostly powered by nix. What would you want to hear about it?

> headscale in production at work

  - How much effort do you put into key management compared to plain WireGuard?
  - How automated is the onboarding process; do you generate and hand over keys?
  - How do you cope without the commercial Tailscale dashboard?
  - Do you run some kind of dashboard or metrics system?
  - How long did it take to set up?
  - Were there any gotchas?

There are a couple open source dashboard options but right now only this one comes to mind: https://github.com/tale/headplane

there are a bunch of them: https://headscale.net/stable/ref/integration/web-ui/?h=web

The one I've deployed is https://github.com/gurucomputing/headscale-ui, which is basic but does what I need.
