Excerpt

headscale-node-lifecycle

Overview

Headscale manages nodes in a tailnet with two identity models:

Personal nodes — registered under a specific user account (e.g. yourname@domain). The node key is tied to that user's identity.
Tagged nodes — belong to the special tagged-devices user (created automatically by Headscale). These nodes are identified by one or more tags (e.g. tag:webserver, tag:monitoring) and are typically used for infrastructure service nodes.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
