Deploy, configure, and maintain a self-hosted Headscale control server.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# headscale-deploy ## Overview Headscale is an open-source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server. It allows you to run your own coordination plane for WireGuard-based mesh networking, giving you full control over your tailnet without relying on Tailscale's SaaS infrastructure. The Tailscale client connects to Headscale transparently — no client modifications needed. Use this skill to deploy Headscale from scratch, configure server settings, manage DERP relay infrastructure, and diagnose deployment issues. ## Prerequisites - **Linux server** (x86_64 or aarch64) or **Docker host** with compose support - **DNS record** pointing to the server (A/AAAA record for `server_url`) - **Ports 80/443** accessible from the internet (or your tailnet's ingress point) - **Port 3478/udp** for STUN (optional, needed for NAT traversal) - Root or sudo access on the target machine ## Deployment Methods ### Docker Compose (Recommended) The fastest and most maintainable approach. Use `install-headscale.sh` with `--docker` flag to generate a compose file and systemd drop-in, or create manually: ```yaml version: "3.9" services: headscale: …

How to install
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/headscale-deploy@sha256:8701cac03a270557The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260814.0a7c6b9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
