Originally created by @siredmar on GitHub (Aug 11, 2023).

Why

With a headscale kubernetes operator it would be easy to manage every headscale resource like users, keys, ... as native kubernetes resources.

Description

Below is a very basic example how headscale resources could look like.

Example for user

apiVersion: headscale.io/v1alpha1
kind: User
spec:
  name: "myuser"

Example for preauthkey

apiVersion: headscale.io/v1alpha1
kind: PreAuthKey
spec:
  config:
    user: "myuser"
    ephemeral: true
    reusable: true
    expiration: "1h"
  output:
    secretName: mysecret
    secretKey: mykey

If i would write an operator for headscale, i'd use crossplane (https://docs.crossplane.io/latest/concepts/providers/)

Hi @siredmar,

We don't have the capacity to implement this. There is however a third party operator, but does not seem to be maintained https://github.com/guilhem/headscale-operator
