In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Headscale on MXLinux Latest, using the command line interface.
Before starting, you need to ensure that:
The first thing you need to do is to install the dependencies that Headscale requires. This can be done by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install -y wireguard-tools iptables git
Next, you need to clone the Headscale repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/juanfont/headscale.git /opt/headscale
Headscale is written in Go, so you need to install Go if it is not already installed. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt install -y golang-go
In this step, you will build Headscale from source. To do this, navigate to the Headscale directory by running:
cd /opt/headscale
Then, build Headscale by running:
make
Now that you have built Headscale, you need to configure it. To do this, copy the example configuration file by running:
cp headscale.yaml.example headscale.yaml
Then, edit the configuration file by running:
sudo nano headscale.yaml
In this configuration file, you can set the options that you want for your VPN network.
Finally, you can start Headscale by running:
sudo ./headscale serve
Headscale should now be running and you can start using it to manage your VPN network.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Headscale on MXLinux Latest. You can now use it to create a secure VPN network.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
