I know nobody at Netbird will see this but I just finished setting up netbird via podman quadlets with traefik and its absolutely amazing!! I was using headscale before. I’m getting near at home speeds and I’m using the stun server as I can’t get a direct connection because of firewalls. The dashboard and documentation is mint and I can’t thank the people at netbird enough for the recent huge update that makes setting it up so much easier.
Next to my Home Assistant this is my second favourite and important piece in my homelab.
This is why I love open source!
Thank you!!
I tried moving from tailscale to netbird, and while I did get access to my home assistant instance, I got unauthorized errors when trying to load mini graph cards on my dashboard. Instead of tinkering I went back to tailscale - at least for now.
Currently ditching netbird because the Android implementation kills the battery and it makes it unusable.
I wish they would fix it, it’s been an issue for quite some time
Simple and Secure Remote Access
NetBird combines a WireGuard®-based overlay network with Zero Trust Network Access, providing a unified open source platform for reliable and secure connectivity
What made you switch to it over tailscale+headscale? Currently that’s been doing everything I need without issue.
I could never get the self hosted stun server to connect so I was always using tailscales derp servers. Netbird is also fully opensource so that was the main reason I wanted to switch. I was also able to easily setup SSO with authentic and netbird which gives me 2FA as well.
If you were using derp servers with Tailscale/Headscale, that would explain why it was slow.
Hey, first I’m hearing about Netbird. Sounds amazing. How complicated was it to migrate from taliscale to netbird? I might need to do the same
