Ionscale support?

[unixfox]

Ionscale is a new project like headscale that reimplement the control plane of tailscale.

This project seems more active, have more features compared to headscale and the author seems reactive when it comes to bug fixes.

I think ionscale has an API (not documented): https://github.com/jsiebens/ionscale/blob/main/pkg/client/ionscale/client.go that listen on the same port as the control plane. And this API uses protobuf for the data transfer: https://github.com/jsiebens/ionscale/tree/main/proto/ionscale/v1

I would really like to see maybe an adapted version of headscale-ui with the support of ionscale. Is it possible? What would be the effort of supporting this other software? @adrum Would you be interested in some kind of support for ionscale in headscale-ui?

Feasibly this could be done, but doing so would essentially require re-writing the entire api component of the codebase. And likely requires tighter integration in lieu of an authentication component.

Given that this project is in maintenance mode essentially, it's unlikely unless ionscale takes off and headscale winds down.

Hey @unixfox, not focusing on the merits of one project vs. the other,

[Ionscale] seems more active

just wanted to note that Headscale has had 3 alpha releases since the latest stable (0.22.3), the last one released 2 weeks ago. Just wanted to mention that because I hadn't noticed them until very recently.
