Taildrop Was Kind of Easy

• tailscale

  1,005 16,437 9.9 Go

  The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.

  

> Do you think it is sufficient to rely on update channels via distributions?

Tailscale employee here. Most officially supported distributions use our own package repo server (https://pkgs.tailscale.com), which would pull Tailscale updates in your normal system updates. The other distributions that aren't in the package repo server (Alpine, Arch, Gentoo, NixOS, Void Linux, etc.) use packages made by the distribution themselves. We do our best to make sure they get updated (contacting the maintainers can be a slog at times), but we do not completely control the update process for them.

> I haven't read the docs enough, but can a node belong to many domains at once? If so, does it need one port per domain that it is shared on?

Not currently, follow this bug (https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/713) to be updated on the details for this. You can sorta hack around it with node sharing (https://tailscale.com/kb/1084/sharing/), but that's unidirectional instead of bidirectional.

• ZeroTier

  343 13,373 8.7 C++

  A Smart Ethernet Switch for Earth

  

https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/blob/master/LICENSE....

So, AFAIK you can self-host, audit and patch.

(lots of great discussion on Foss vs non-foss, pragmatism etc in this thread, to which I can't add much)

I guess nebula is: https://github.com/slackhq/nebula

Anyone tried it vs zerotier/wireguard/tailscale? I must admit building on wireguard is a major draw for tailscale.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• innernet

  60 4,832 5.8 Rust

  A private network system that uses WireGuard under the hood.

  

Innernet is an open source alternative to tailscale https://github.com/tonarino/innernet . Since this feature was so easy I imagine someone could pretty easily add it as a PR

• headscale

  An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server

>There’s an open source project called headscale

This? https://github.com/juanfont/headscale
