I based this post on HERE Just for reference, the things I did to make it work: git clone https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android.git nano tailscale-android/cmd/tailscale/backend.go change: func (b *backend) Start(notify func(n ipn.Notify)) error { b.backend.SetNotifyCallback(notify) return b.backend.Start(ipn.Options{ StateKey: "ipn-android", }) } to: func (b *backend) Start(notify func(n ipn.Notify)) error { b.backend.SetNotifyCallback(notify) prefs := ipn.NewPrefs() prefs.ControlURL = "https://myheadscale.domain.com" opts := ipn.Options{ StateKey: "ipn-android", UpdatePrefs: prefs, } return b.backend.Start(opts) } nano Dockerfile Add the below to the file:

This is how to get the Windows client with headscale. I’m happy to finaly get it working. Headscales docs are HERE, but I’m adding some more info since I wasn’t able to get it to work the first time If you’ve already installed tailscale on the machine make sure to delete the C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Tailscale directory Download the Official Windows Client HERE and install it. You can either do option A or B Option A Manually edit the registry

Client DNS If you don’t want to use magic DNS like myself. I was having issues with it so I did this. Add the following to ~/.bashrc this will allow you to SSH to clients in the following way tailssh $USER $HOSTNAME you can also just run tailssh and that will show you all of the servers function tailssh () { if [[ -z $1 ]] && [[ -z $2 ]]; then tailscale status | grep -v 'filter/INPUT' | column -t else host=$(tailscale status | grep $2 | awk '{ print $1 }') ssh ${1}@${host} fi } Now we need to install column apt install bsdmainutils
