can you please tell me how to disable expiration time? I see auth keys have an Expiration which says it "Must be between 1 and 90 days." I do use a custom domain name as well with a Nameservers rule to have all my services reachable as subdomains of my custom domain.

I am in the same position but currently using Tailscale and realize how important and critical it has become for my whole family infrastructure. A self-hosted solution which allowed me to use Nameservers and TLS termination as I currently do would be awesome.

I see Pangolin has a Self-Host Community Edition, doesn't that already give something over digital sovereignity for EU users? I am considering both for a migration from Tailscale, any suggestion on their differences?

After a decade with KeePass, I’ve finally moved to Vaultwarden. I’ll admit, self-hosting such a critical service still feels a bit scary, but the seamless syncing across all my devices is a huge upgrade. To balance the risk, I keep it tucked safely behind Tailscale for that extra peace of mind.

Tailscale is the only non-self-hosted part of my setup now and this has bugged me since. I use a custom Nameserver rule to point all my subdomains to a Caddy container sitting on my Tailnet. Caddy handles the SSL and routes everything to the right containers. I skipped Tailscale Funnel on purpose; since these are just family services, I’d rather keep them locked behind the VPN than open them up to the web. This project looks promising as a replacement for my current setup and for its digital sovereignity of self hosting the server. I'm looking to manage several embedded devices remotely via Tailscale, but I've hit a major roadblock: the 90-day maximum expiration for Auth Keys. Constantly renewing these tokens is a significant maintenance burden, so I'm searching for a more permanent, 'set-and-forget' solution for my remote hardware.
