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
