Steps To Reproduce

What I did on my tailscale server to connect headscale.

sudo tailscale up --login-server http://my_headscale_server --accept-routes

Environment

- Headscale version: v0.12.3
- Tailscale version: 1.64.0

Runtime environment

• Headscale is behind a (reverse) proxy
• Headscale runs in a container

Anything else?

I think i should update my headscale version. But can i get any help regarding headscale update without changing my config file or having any issue as its my production server.

I really hope you are not running 0.12.3 still. This version doesn't support the noise protocol. Only an update to 0.22.3 will help.

It just seems like you have no noise key defined on the server.

Received error: control server is too old; no noise key

See this config snipped for 0.22.3:

headscale/config-example.yaml

Lines 49 to 56 in b01f1f1

	# The Noise section includes specific configuration for the
	# TS2021 Noise protocol
	noise:
	# The Noise private key is used to encrypt the
	# traffic between headscale and Tailscale clients when
	# using the new Noise-based protocol. It must be different
	# from the legacy private key.
	private_key_path: /var/lib/headscale/noise_private.key

This seem no to be a bug.
