Alternatively, you can use Auth Keys to register your machines:
1. Create an authkey
```shell
./headscale -n myfirstnamespace preauthkey create --reusable --expiration 24h
```
2. Use the authkey from your machine to register it
```shell
tailscale up -login-server YOUR_HEADSCALE_URL --authkey YOURAUTHKEY
```
Please bear in mind that all the commands from headscale support adding `-o json` or `-o json-line` to get a nicely JSON-formatted output.
## Configuration reference
Headscale's configuration file is named `config.json` or `config.yaml`. Headscale will look for it in `/etc/headscale`, `~/.headscale` and finally the directory from where the Headscale binary is executed.
