How to update Headscale Tailscale control server
- Read the release notes first — self-hosted projects break config and schemas between versions more often than appliances do.
- Docker: pull the new image tag and recreate the container (`docker compose pull && docker compose up -d`).

- Back up the config and database directory first. For most projects a downgrade is not supported once the schema has migrated.
