Description

Hello,

I'm running a headscale network. Another headscale user successfully used Tailscale's nginx-auth within this plugin. However, I'm encountering an issue when trying to use the nginx-auth package from apt:

can't extract tailnet name from hostname "some-laptop.user.tailnet.domain.com"

Was this error encountered during the plugin's development? If so, how was it resolved?

Thank you for your time, and have a nice day.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the nginx-auth package from apt with the headscale hostname shown in the report, then compare that behavior with the plugin's Tailscale integration. Done means identifying whether the hostname error is caused by the plugin or the package and documenting a confirmed resolution.
