Hey

Could add some clue how to use this with the MacOS TailScale client? It seems the GUI client needs to be loaded and logged in before I can use the CLI command, but then this mean I cannot run the following, as it is already authenticated to TailScales hosted controller.

/Applications/Tailscale.app/Contents/MacOS/Tailscale up -login-server <> --authkey

If I run the following, it forces the client to logout, but it doesn't reconnect:

/Applications/Tailscale.app/Contents/MacOS/Tailscale up -login-server <> --authkey --reset --force-reauth

Thank you

Hi @projx, to get it working on my machine, I would:

  1. Start the UI client (but not log in)
  2. /Applications/Tailscale.app/Contents/MacOS/Tailscale up -login-server https://headscale.example.no --accept-routes --authkey $KEY

This seem to work for me without having to force a reauth, I have never logged in with the official Tailscale service. You might be able to get all of that deleted so its fresh.

Whenever I reboot, I usually need to run /Applications/Tailscale.app/Contents/MacOS/Tailscale up -login-server https://headscale.example.no

For the brave, have a look at #113 and you can generate a profile that overrides the default login server. Currently macOS works and it allows you to not have to fiddle with the command line.

I have updated #113 with more details on setting up macOS. Feedback would be appreciated.
