Why

As a user of tailscale that wants to try headscale, I have not been able to find information on whether it is possible to use the same server as both a headscale server and a tailscale client at the same time. (And about whether it is a good/bad idea to do this).

My use case would be having a single VM in some cloud that I run Headscale on, but also setting up Gitea on the same VM and connecting to it via the Tailnet.

Description

My proposal would be an FAQ question that looks like this:

Can/Should I use the same machine as both server and client?
Fantasy answer: Yes, this is no problem, just install headscale and tailscale according to the instructions and use --login-server=localhost.
