Is this a support request?

  • This is not a support request

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

I've completed the installation of Headscale on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Headscale is being run as a systemd service and the server address is the default one provided in config: 127.0.0.1:8080. I've ensured no other program is using that port. The logs also indicate there is no error. Trying to access the http server by curling on the local machine doesn't seem to be working.

WARN: The "dns.use_username_in_magic_dns" configuration key is deprecated and has been removed. Please see the changelog for more details.

  • Headscale runs in a container

Anything else?

No response

Can you give the output of these commands (run those on the same machine where headscale installed):

  • curl http://localhost:8080
  • sudo ss -tlpn | grep headscale
  • sudo ss -tlpn | grep 8080

If you want to reach headscale from the outside, you'll need to update the configuration to set at least:

server_url: http://your-headscale.exaple.com:8080 
listen_addr: 0.0.0.0:8080

I've also completely turned off my firewall btw to check if that was somehow the problem.

This is actually fine. Headscale does not provide a web interface by default. You can visit http://localhost:8080/windows which shows how to setup a windows client. Same with http://localhost:8080/apple .

Yeah that works lol. Wish someone would add this in the documentation though. It was not very clear at the end.
