ziti VS headscale

If you are not aware of what OpenZiti is, this is the description available on their website:

fwiw, its back up. stars for zrok and ziti (i.e., the parent repo) are super appreciated!

https://github.com/openziti/ziti (1.2k stars)

Create an AUR package for the ziti binaries

I ask because I'm going to start with the simplified-docker-compose.yml file instead of the more complicated one for starters

OpenZiti is the most sophisticated and simple-to-use ZTNA platform on the planet. Allows you to create micro-segmented ZTNA networks by desktop application, web application, device, containers, API, and servers. All data is distributed dynamically across an overlay mesh network focused on routing performance, self-healing, and latency. It has desktop clients on all operating systems, pre-built SSH consoles, and SDKs in different languages to integrate OpenZiti into any product natively. And best of all, it's Open-Source. Seriously, try it, you'll be mind-blowing...

This repo hosts the OpenZiti SDK for NodeJS, and is designed to help you deliver secure applications over a OpenZiti Network - https://github.com/openziti/ziti-sdk-nodejs.

zrok.io seems fit for this purpose though you'd have to do a little work like combining it with FileGator or similar. Future releases would add this functionality directly, you could just watch the project. It is fundamentally designed for web app & webhook testing. It's built on top of a zero-trust networking overlay technology called openziti.io. There are developer discourse channels to help.

headscale - Open source implementation of Tailscale control server. Can be used with Tailscale's official open source client. Written in Go.

Headscale

You can always use headscale. https://github.com/juanfont/headscale

One more thing, you can host Tailscale Control Server yourself if you want, which is a plus.

https://github.com/juanfont/headscale not to mention but Tailscale has a very good culture, I’m sure they would give notice if they pull the rug. There are also many alternatives such as Zerotier and more are showing up every day and open source options.

How about self-hosted Tailscale, known as Headscale

Would be nice if https://github.com/juanfont/headscale can be managed by the Tailscale operator.

You can run your own "head scale" control server and use their clients with it: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale

Requires a lot more setup, but it is an option. I've been self-hosting headscale for some time and it is quite stable.

There's an alternative to tailscale service called headscale https://github.com/juanfont/headscale (CLI only server compatible with official tailscale clients)
