Current Behavior

Hello

I tried everything I could, but impossible to test Headscale on my Laptop.

  • I installed lastest version 0.23.0-beta.4 (I tried previous ones too with no success)
  • Then I allowed the service to listen on 0.0.0.0 in the config yaml file.
  • I launched the server (using docker on MacOS)
  • I was able to execute commands on the servers without any issues (like creating a user)

But when I try to connect the client
tailscale login --login-server http://127.0.0.1:8080
I just receive error messages saying that server is not available:
failed to connect to local Tailscale service; is Tailscale running?

I tried every possible versions for the client or the server and allway the same result.
What is strange is that if I curl on the server url (http://127.0.0.1:8080) I receive empty 404 answer
(But http://127.0.0.1:9090/metrics works fine)

(I am on MacOS latest version by the way)

Any help eould be greatly apreciated :)

Expected Behavior

tailscale up --login-server http://127.0.0.1:8080
failed to connect to local Tailscale service; is Tailscale running?

Steps To Reproduce

Install Headscale Docker version like in the official documentation

tailscale up --login-server http://127.0.0.1:8080
failed to connect to local Tailscale service; is Tailscale running?

Environment

- OS: Macos 14.6.1
- Headscale version: 0.23.0-beta.4
- Tailscale version: 1.72.2 and 1.72.1

Runtime environment

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

Anything else?

No response

It's not related to headscale, you forgot to run tailscaled?

try sudo systemctl start tailscaled first, and then tailscale up --login-server http://127.0.0.1:8080

As @vinhjaxt says, your only running the CLI for tailscale and not the actual daemon.
