How to connect iPhone/iPad to NB network

I have an NB network up and I have two peers: a TrueNas server as well as my macbook. When I installed NB on both of these devices, I was never prompted to connect to a specific server, it sort of just connected these two peers to the same NB network since it was on the same wifi network (I think). Now I want to connect my iPhone but I have no idea what to enter into the server address field. Is there any way I can ascertain this information?...

Access internal network of a peer

Hey, so i have the netbird server running fine. I have a DC and a remote PC connected. I need to set the remote pc DNS to the DC IP. However, not sure if i should just set DNS to the netbird peer IP of the DC, or get a connection to the internal IP of the DC somehow through netbird. The DC has an external network interface, not relevant for now It also is acting like a DHCP server with the default gateway as 192.168.100.1...

Selfhosted Netbird w/ Zitadel - cross domain logins

Hey Hey! I am now setting up netbird again but with Zitadel, everything works well if users that exist in the same organization as the netbird project, as in all their information is correctly pulled into netbird. However, I also need to allow external users to log in on a selective basis. I am planning on doing so by creating a new organization lets call it "external-org" and create my external users in this org then allowing them a role for netbird via organization grants. These new external users are able to log in okay, however their information is not pulled in correctly... Only their zitadel user ID is pulled in, no email, user name nothing. Has anyone seen this or has any ideas on what I could do to allow external user info to be pulled in? ...

Using the selfhosting quick start I cant access zitadel (no account)

Hey there, I wanted to try NetBird out, and tried to use the quick start selfhosting script, but it seems the account provided by the script does not work on Zitadel. I also noticed that the management container does not start due to missing clientId from zitadel. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, or something's borked with the installation script. Images attached of the errors im seeing (img 1: domain/ui/console login, img 2: domain) Docker Images...

Changing IDP in self hosted NB

Has anyone tried / had luck in changing the IDP in their self hosted instance? I’m planning on moving from Google workspace to M365 and that will bring in the change from Google SSO to Entra ID. What’s the best strategy here to preserve my current config?
Solution:
Probably obvious, but just changing the IDP does not work lol. But had to see for myself. I created an instance with Zitadel, setup a few things. Then reconfigured the compose file and config files to accept authentik as the IDP with the same NetBird DB. No dice lol. But had to see for myself. I’ve now settled on starting over a new instance with Zitadel and will continually add IDPs as required...

Disconnections from management server

Hello everyone, We regularly experience disconnections between the client and the management server during the "Sync" operation. Have you also noticed this problem? ...

Set up "new" account, but it's limited to user access instead of admin.

I tried NetBird years ago, but it didn't work out. Recently I was reminded of its existence when I got an email saying my account was being deleted for lack of activity ("okay with me" I thought). But subsequently my self-hosted WireGuard VPN had some issues and I decided I'd give NetBird another try. I created a new account using (apparently) my same email address. When I logged in, the dashboard only showed the Peers tab with the "Install Netbird" option. When I logged in from my phone, the Peers tab now shows my phone, my phone from my last attempt at using NetBird, and my router from my last attempt (the latter two are not connected of course). Is there any way to regain my admin access to my account/network? Or more throughly have my account deleted so I can start fresh?...
Solution:
Alright, well NetBird support was able to see that I had initially logged in "using Google" the first time, and so even though the email address was the same because the login method was different it created two different accounts. As you surmised, @jeevis , the first account was Owner and the second was just a User. I was able to log back into the first account, transfer ownership to the second account, and then delete the first account....

Netbird MFA + Azure MFA bug?

Signed up to Netbird lets say using admin@myworkcompany.com, this is the owner. I enabled MFA on this, great. Now I enable the IdP sync from Azure, sync only users/groups starting with Netbird-, this works fine, a handful of users come through. Lets say bob@myworkcompany.com is one of those, I make them an admin from the Team/Users page ,and now I try to login, choose Continue with Microsoft Account, enter bobs Azure username, password, OTP from authenticator(Azure MFA)... But because this MFA option is enabled within Netbird, it redirects me to a second one time code page(see attached image), even though it says in Netbird: Enable NetBird MFA if not configured in your IdP. This setting is global and applies to all users Is this a bug? I want MFA on this initial owner user, and want to make a couple of extra users admins that use MFA from Azure, so we don't ever get locked out. ...

Having an hard time restoring a backup

Hello everyone. I am experimenting with the ability of making and restoring backups. I did copied the configuration files over the destination, and copied the management database too - after having stopped it, as per instructions. I did also dumped the zitadel's postgres databases and reimported them (after having replaced all the domain strings with the one that will be used in the destination). Unfortunately despite zitadel does start and I'm able to login, the "/peers" page is stuck forever loading nothing. I was not able to understand what could be wrong by reading the logs. I did find some errors here and there but those are present in a fresh install as well. Please guide me about how to cherry-pick potential significant error messages to untangle which the culprit of this failing restore might be. Many thanks everyone....
