What is Headscale?

Headscale is an open-source self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server. It lets you run a private Tailscale-compatible WireGuard mesh network without relying on Tailscale's hosted coordination plane.

Run Headscale in Even

Even Stacks launches Headscale as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
Find Headscale in the one-click services and click Launch.
Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8610, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://headscale.localhost.

Drive Headscale with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Headscale directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside it, check its status and logs, and reconfigure it. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Headscale and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: No web UI. Manage users with `docker exec -it headscale headscale users create <name>` and nodes with `headscale nodes list`. Generate pre-auth keys via `headscale preauthkeys create --user <name>`; config lives at /etc/headscale/config.yaml and SQLite data is in the /var/lib/headscale volume.
