My current setup isn’t available outside my house so I was planning on hosting something like WireGuard. What’s the advantage of Headscale over a more traditional VPN?

It’s a mesh for wireguard with DERP and MagicDNS so you can segment traffic, do availability groups, point to point all from the same service.
Read through the repo, but I have deployed this to a VPS and I am really happy with it

It packages headplane which is similar to crossplane and has a pretty intuitive webgui. Just make sure it’s well secured, https, reverseproxy yadda yadda
Neither wireguard nor headscale nor tailscale will work through a cloudflsre tunnel and the wireguard/headscale server cannot be behind a CDN DNS proxy

So I’ve dabbled on and off with Tailscale for a while and have pretty much all my services besides my video players behind it. Was part of a big efficiency push I did earlier in the year which was a giant pain in the ass so I’m kinda taking a step back for a few weeks and enjoy the fruits of my work and also catch up on all the things I forget to do when I hyper fixate on my lab.
My question is how much of a pain in the ass will it be to move from tail to head

You just point your tailscale clients to a headscale VPS. Cannot run a CDN proxy to the domain name. Also you get headplane and other goodies.
