SCIM
Hi, I’m using NetBird in self-hosted mode and the installation works fine, except I want to use SCIM with Zitadel to create accounts and handle provisioning with my Entra ID. However, with the NetBird installer, Zitadel doesn’t seem to have SCIM enabled by default. If anyone has a solution, please share.

NetBird Agentless Site-to-Site
Hello, I am currently exploring the functionality of NetBird and am trying to get a grasp on the site-to-site VPN capabilities. While I have a device at each site with a NetBird agent installed, is it possible to have an agentless device from site A talk to an agentless device in site B?
Solution:
But if you are rawdogging it like that, then no. An agent needs to be on netbird for it to communicate with resources in site B that aren't agented

Migrating from SQLite to PGSQL
Hello hello!
I followed the guide to migrate from SQLite to PGSQL as defined in the docs, and used pgloader to migrate the database. The migration goes well with 0 errors, however, when I restart the NetBird services, and go through authentication via Zitadel, I’m stuck on NetBirds loading screen. Logs for PGSQL only show the container for Postgres is open for connections but no connection attempts made. And I’m unable to find anything particularly interesting in NB management logs - simply info logs.
I figured I’d start with an empty PG database, which allows me into the NetBird UI. Then I do the database migration again and all my tables move over successfully again and I’m in the UI finally without issues and my peers have to be reconnected but that’s a non-issue. Everything works well until I have to restart my NetBird services, and I’m stuck on the NetBird loading screen again after the container restart. I’m a little lost on why this happens.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could debug this further?

Setting up netbird only with single account
Heya, I'm looking to get the netbird server setup on a VPS of mine but without any of the IDPs, however I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this out.
On the VPS I've got nginx and docker installed, with nginx being a reverse proxy for some other dockerised apps and a normal web server for other stuff.
I'd like to get netbird setup in Docker if possible, but its fine if I have to do it on the host machine, I just can't have it running on the same port as nginx as there'd be a conflict of course.

Solution:
as nb does not want to handle login creds on selfgosted instanced, thats ganded pff to an idp
Use own caddy as reverse proxy
Hello, I'm using netbird selfhosted with an already existing caddy on my host. I removed the caddy container from the docker compose and then set my ports for each container (dashboard, signal, relay, management and zitadel). Then simply reversed all the incoming incoming to the docker from host caddy. Its working but its incredibly slow... How can I solve this?

Having trouble configuring Google OIDC
Not a lot I can say, I've tried a ton of permutations of env variables for the management container but I can't get it to work.
Right now when I open the page it tries contacting Google's token endpoint with a grant type of authentication_code but no code in (probably because there was no call to /auth before).
I can't figure out how to change the authentication method to be client_credentials or if I should even do that. I'm also directly editing the docker-compose as I prefer to have that and also wanna keep the current database, but I've tried running the setup again and the settings coming from it don't work either....

[discord feature req] Better alternative to AnswerOverflow and Discourse
Hey team, I’m currently building Paladin. I noticed NetBird forum is synced to the web with AnswerOverflow and Discourse. Paladin makes forums cleaner, easier to browse, and simpler to moderate directly from the web.
It’s completely free to use and can either complement your existing setup or run on its own. If you want, you can try it yourself in a few minutes, or I can spin up a demo and show you how it works, no pressure either way 😀...

I have a self-hosted docker Netbird installation up and running on a mini-PC along other servers. It is also set behind Nginx Proxy Manager so I can reach the dashboard by typing netbird.<domain>.net.
I am also able to connect my Android phone to that server using the Netbird client for Android by connecting to https://netbird.[domain].net:443. I can see it added as a Peer on my dashboard....
