Setup with the Linux bare metal installation of Headscale? #100

Closed hagbrain21 closed 1 year ago

hagbrain21 commented 1 year ago

Hi, how to setup headscale-webui when I setup Headscale with this guide: https://headscale.net/running-headscale-linux/

I dont get it, but is is necessary to setup Headscale as a Docker Container for the GUI to work?

Best regards,

Peter

Yes. Headscale itself does not provide a GUI. You will need both :)

Oh sorry I didn't see bare metal Basically all you'd need to do is follow what's in the Dockerfile (if you aren't using Docker) and replicate it bare metal, though this is not a supported config.

So, how does it work when Docker and Headscale are on two different bare metals or virtual servers with different ip/etc. How can the webui Docker access the config and web storage? Sorry, Im not working with Docker that much.

You wouldn't be able to access the headscale config file, so the Overview page will be broken. That's the only place I use that.

Otherwise, all other info comes from the HS_SERVER environment variable. You can manage everything as normal, just no Overview page (It may still render, but a lot of items will just say N/A)

I'm planning to make a PR soon, but in the meanwhile: https://github.com/atb00ker/headscale-webui should help you! 😄

Works great. On Debian its little annoying to install Python 3.11 and poetry also not in repositories, but great work! Thanks.

Debian 12 is expected to be released in a couple of months and both are available in it's repository, so it's only a problem for the meanwhile! :smile:
