I was just experimenting with Headscale and tried to set it up by following the guide. Unfortunately, the guide is not fully functional at the moment, as the Headscale CLI is unable to connect to the socket after the daemon has been started.

This PR makes the following changes:

  • fixed the unix_socket config to point to the full path, which also makes the CLI work.
  • updated to the latest 0.27.1 version
  • adjusted the preauthkeys command, as it expects a user ID.

tls_key_path: ""

unix_socket: "headscale.sock"
unix_socket: "/home/isabell/.headscale/headscale.sock"

An alternative to setting the full path here would be to leave it at headscale.sock and change to the .headscale directory each time you want to work with the CLI. I'm not entirely sure what is preferred.
