Hiya Folks
Making the rounds again on this project as it is getting closer to being feature-complete (ish) and I’ve started this website for extended infoz/documentation. Main repository can be found here: https://github.com/webmeshproj/node.
The project aims to be yet another simple WireGuard Meshing/VPN solution. Most similar to TailScale/HeadScale, but with a controller-less architecture governed by Raft consensus.
I’m excited to hear any feedback. Contributions are welcome as well :). Anything from architecture discussion, to issues, to code, to docs is appreciated.
Hehe I’ll respond to the edit.
I actually have a lot of respect for what TailScale is doing. 99% of their shit is open source and they don’t get in the way of the downstream Headscale project that lets you run your own controllers. That being said, I think it gets pricey at scale and tries to do too much for the user. Extending it isn’t super easy at the moment either, but they are working on ways of embedding their agents.
I wanted to take the idea and put it on the same level of distributed internet projects like Reticulum. I think this has potential to be the networking base for a concept similar to “dApps” but removing the financial incentives that come with using blockchain.
That all being said - I’m totally considering making a managed offering of this - and am actively looking for people who’d be interested to go on that journey with me. But I’d try extremely hard to never be labeled “corporate” :P.
