I have tried to use Headscale with Tailscale clients and have been fairly successful in achieving a private P2P VPN. Since I have a lot of spare servers, was able to setup a GUI, Headscale server and configure Tailscale clients across different OS flavors. But it is not for the faint of heart or non-technical folks or for enterprise use. What I have implemented was for personal use and it has it's own pitfalls / troubleshooting stuff which actually consumed a lot of time and effort.
Is there an open source option with Firezone where I could try it out to have a head to head comparison (or if a comparison that already exists) or a guide that could be used for setting up one's own server and client apps for a self-hosted and self-managed solution using Firezone?
Please recommend / respond with the opinion of whether the thought process is worth it? Thanks.
We have a few intrepid users self-hosting the entire Firezone stack, but we don't have documentation to support it (yet), and wouldn't recommend it for production. It's something we'd like to write and maintain eventually, even if only for smaller / hobby deployments.
We do have a self-hosted community support channel on Discord if you are feeling adventurous: https://discord.gg/DY8gxpSgep
I would recommend starting here with a local development cluster:
