Use case

Tailscale v1.82.0 supports self-signed IP certificates, so I tried to use it.
However, I forgot that the DERP in Headscale is different from the one in Tailscale, which caused some confusion and issues in my setup.

I’m wondering if it would be possible for Headscale to update the DERP automatically whenever Tailscale releases a new version?

Description

see above

The derper in Headscale will follow the tailscale dep in our go.mod as it is compiled in and not a separate binary, so we cannot update it independently.

We try to update it just before every release so it will stay reasonably up to date.

I would imagine that we update 1.82 before the next release.
