Headscale is an open source, self hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server. It lets you run your own coordination server for a private mesh network, where machines register with pre-auth keys and then connect directly to each other over an encrypted overlay.
cloudimg delivers Headscale hardened, fully patched and preconfigured, with the control API served over TLS and a unique administrative API key generated on first boot so no shared secret ever ships in the image. Paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 support.
