Headplane is a feature-complete web UI for Headscale, the self-hosted alternative to Tailscale's WireGuard-based VPN coordination server. It provides an admin dashboard for managing nodes, ACLs, DNS settings, and OIDC single sign-on, plus browser-based SSH to tailnet machines.
Use cases
- manage headscale nodes from a web interface
- edit tailscale ACLs without editing config files
- add a web dashboard to self-hosted tailscale
- configure DNS settings for headscale
- set up OIDC single sign-on for headscale users
- ssh into tailnet machines from the browser
- administer a self-hosted wireguard vpn
When to choose
- you run Headscale and want a Tailscale-like admin dashboard
- you need ACL, DNS, and machine management without CLI access
- you want OIDC SSO and browser SSH for your tailnet
When to avoid
- you use official Tailscale rather than self-hosted Headscale
- you prefer managing everything through the headscale CLI
- you need a production-grade deployment but can only run limited mode
