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

A Node.js web service framework optimized for building semantically correct RESTful web services ready for production use at scale. restify optimizes for introspection and performance and is used in some of the largest Node.js deployments on Earth. Running at scale requires tracing problems back to their origin by separating noise from the signal. restify is built from the ground up with post-mortem debugging in mind. Staying true to the spec is one of the foremost goals of the project. You will see references to RFCs littered throughout GitHub issues and the codebase. restify is used by some of the industry's most respected companies to power some of the largest deployments of Node.js on planet Earth—the future of Node.js REST development. Setting up a server is quick and easy. Like many other Node. js-based REST frameworks, restify leverages a Sinatra-style syntax for defining routes and the function handlers that service those routes.
