Originally created by @Bpazy on GitHub (Dec 1, 2021).

Error occurred when I tried to run headscale with docker compose.

Here is my operations and error output:

root@5dbbd5e70962:/etc/headscale# ls
config.yaml  db.sqlite  derp.json
root@5dbbd5e70962:/etc/headscale# headscale namespaces create myfirstnamespace
2021/12/01 03:17:11 Error initializing: open : no such file or directory

The content of config.yaml:

server_url: http://headscale.example.host
listen_addr: 0.0.0.0:8080
ip_prefix: 192.168.196.0/24
disable_check_updates: true
log_level: debug
derp_map_path: derp.json
db_type: sqlite3
db_path: db.sqlite
ephemeral_node_inactivity_timeout: "30m"

The content of derp.json is copied from tailscale sample

And docker-compose.yaml with command sudo docker-compose run --build --force-recreate:

version: '3'
services:
  headscale:
    image: headscale/headscale:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "1333:8080"
    volumes:
      - ./config:/etc/headscale/
    stdin_open: true # docker run -i. For debugging
    tty: true        # docker run -t. For debugging
    command: bash

docker run \
  -v $(pwd)/config:/etc/headscale/ \
  -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
  headscale/headscale:latest \
    headscale namespaces create myfirstnamespace

docker run got the same error: 2021/12/01 06:36:51 Error initializing: open : no such file or directory

And error still occurred headscale/headscale:0.11

You should try latest master. If you want a binary you can download one from the latest sucessful github action run.

Was the server running? It looks like it times out because the server isn't running

@kradalby According to the document Running.md step 5: Create a namespace. The server is not running yet.

Aha, from the new version, in the main branch, the server must be running for the CLI to work, Would be great if you could PR a change to the doc.

That's good to know.

How to execute the command "headscale namespaces create myfirstnamespace" with the state of the "main" branch?
Compared to v0.11 which was still based on Ubnutu 20.04, the "main" branch uses a distroless image.
With this image you can't use EXEC anymore, because sh/bash is not available.
Likewise, you cannot integrate HEALTHCHECK in the distroless image, because there is no CURL or WGET, for example.

I can understand that the distroless images are very slim and can also offer little attack surface. But I think that is currently out of proportion.

If you want to use a GO application without any interaction, it makes a lot of sense. But how to interact with the CLI now?
