Tailscale changes its Android app to support the open source Headscale server

• headscale

  221 19,446 9.2 Go

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

>I wonder if Headscale can also use internal credentials? As far as I remember with tailscale you had to log in with Google or Microsoft which is another total deal-breaker. But I haven't looked at it in ages as the hosted variety was a non starter anyway.

One interesting thing about Tailscale Android App is that it uses Gio UI(Golang GUI Framework).

• vault-plugin-secrets-wireguard

  3 84 2.6 Go

  Discontinued Wireguard secrets engine for Vault

  

If you're looking for a tailscale alternative (ish), I built a plugin for HashiCorp Vault to manage Wireguard keys: https://github.com/candiddev/vault-plugin-secrets-wireguard

It's a bit more involved than Tailscale with the benefit that it uses Vault's robust authentication options.

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

  

They say this, but then looking at a recent issue they say it's not done in iOS yet, only macOS: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/4299

• netbird

  104 8,888 9.7 Go

• wormhole-william-mobile

  9 150 6.2 Go

  End-to-end encrypted file transfer for Android and iOS. A Magic Wormhole Mobile client.

That is totally fair. I will say that I got quite a lot of value from being able to see how tailscale-android works when building my own gioui app[0]. I suspect that being able to see the same thing for a modern iOS app would be useful to some small set of developers, even if they couldn't produce a fully working tailscale binary on their own dev machines.

It really does feel like Apple just doesn't care that their app policies are hostile to developers because they have such a strong monopoly on mobile app distribution.
