+# This is an Ansible playbook example to set up Headscale
+# (for a self-managed tailscale deployment)
+#
+# Includes:
+#
+#   - headscale (control-plane server)
+#   - headscale-ui (web UI for managing headscale)
+#   - labels to configure Traefik-2 reverse-proxy
+#   - ### currently exposes the ports for local connections, for debugging
+#
+# Configuration:
+#
+#   - `templates/config.yaml.j2`:
+#     config used by this role, with customisations and variables
+#
+#   - `templates/config-example.yaml`:
+#     a copy of upstream config example, with documentation
+#
+# Usage:
+#
+#   - set up by running your playbook
+#     (add `-e pull=yes` to update to the latest docker images)
+#   - tell your tailscale clients to connect to: <https://$headscale_domain/>
+#   - access headscale admin web page at: <https://$headscale_domain/web>
+
+# The following is an example of how a playbook can import the role:
+

+  hosts: example.org

+    pull: false
