Description

Hi there,

First, very nice project 馃槉 Testing it right now and works rock solid.

Do you have any planned to integrate a Web UI like the Tailscale one?

I guess for that TLS would need to be enforce, but I guess this is doable. The WebUI can talk to the backend API and automatically register new nodes one the user is logged in.

I think this would be very handy and provide an experience really close to what Tailscale is doing 馃槉

The UI itself should be fairly quick to create, it's more the interaction with the backend that could be challenging I guess.

Let me know what's your plan.

Kr.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing headscale API endpoints (e.g., in api.go) to understand how nodes and users are managed. Then examine the comments in issue #234 for prior discussions on UI design and potential authentication schemes. Consider looking at the Tailscale web UI for inspiration, but focus on implementing a minimal viable interface that can register nodes and display status.
