About

Headscale is an open-source, self-hosted implementation of the control server used by the Tailscale network, enabling users to keep full ownership of their private tailnets while using Tailscale clients. It supports registering users and nodes, issuing pre-authentication keys, advertising subnet-routes and exit-node capabilities, enforcing access-control lists, and integrating with OIDC/SAML identity providers for user authentication. The server is deployable via Debian/Ubuntu packages or standalone binaries, configurable through a YAML file, and managed via its CLI or REST API. Headscale tracks each node, route, and user in its database, supports route approval workflows, and enables features such as subnet routing, exit node designation, and node-to-node mesh within the tailnet. Being self-hosted, it gives organizations and hobbyists full control over their private network endpoints, encryption keys, and traffic flows, rather than depending on a commercial control plane.

About

TransIP is a cloud and hosting platform built around the idea of “internet for every idea,” giving users one environment to manage domains, VPS, Kubernetes, OpenStack infrastructure, object storage, and hosting tools. Its VPS platform is designed for growth without blockers; configure and launch in seconds, scale up or down, choose shared or dedicated vCPUs while retaining the same IP, and store data on distributed NVMe network storage with three replicas by default. Users can start with simple VPS packages, expand with resource or performance add-ons, and manage root access, fast configuration, monitoring, firewall rules, console access, block storage, snapshots, backups, HA-IP, load balancing, and private networking from the TransIP control panel. Kubernetes lets teams deploy, scale, and automate Docker containers within minutes, with a managed control plane, additional nodes, HA-IP load balancers, persistent storage, version control, and cloud-native tools.
