Is this a support request?

  • This is not a support request

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

I want to remove all routes on a node. According to the help text from `headscale nodes approve-routes" it says this:

-r, --routes strings List of routes that will be approved (... or empty string to remove all approved routes)

When I try to do this however:

> headscale nodes approve-routes -i 2 -r ""
Error: flag needs an argument: 'r' in -r

> headscale nodes approve-rotues -i 2 --routes ""
Error: flag needs an argument: --routes

Expected Behavior

I expect the routes to get removed from the node.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. add route on node tailscale set --advertise-routes=10.42.0.5/32
  2. approve route headscale nodes approve-routes -i 2 -r "10.42.0.5/32"
  3. attempt to remove route headscale nodes approve-routes -i 2 -r ""

Environment

- OS: Ubuntu 24.04
- Headscale version: 0.26.1
- Tailscale version: 1.88.1

Runtime environment

  • Headscale is behind a (reverse) proxy
  • Headscale runs in a container

Debug information

Debug information should be irrelevant - this is an inconsistency/error in the CLI/API.

Just tested it on 0.26.1 and it works as you posted: headscale nodes approve-routes -i 2 -r "".

Since your headscale is running in a container: did you use pass -it to the docker/podman invocation?

Yeah I've aliased headscale='docker exec -it headscale-headscale-1 headscale.

Noticed now however that I can just not provide the -r argument at all and it will delete the route.

The help text should probably be corrected though.
