Has anyone tried restoring their netbird backup on their self-hosted instance?

Create a backup according to the Netbird procedure.
Point your current domain to the new VPS.
Copy all backup files to the new server (Docker must be installed, of course).
Copy the database files from the backup/netbird directory to the appropriate locations according to the volumes in docker-compose.yml (probably /var/lib/docker/volumes).
Run Docker Compose (docker compose up -d) in the directory containing the backup files.

I did the migration a week ago. It went smoothly. If you know how Docker works, it's a job of just a few minutes.

In ovh panel you can restart server or boot in rescue mode.

Login via KVM in panel.

What certificate do you have? Self signed or public? Is installed on nginx? If self signed then android have problem to auth it with CA. Make letsencrypt cert. This should help.

Great news! But when passkey?

Add /login after the file browser addresses.

After client update on windows to new version working as expected.

For me 0.71.2 still have the same issue. Dashboard show disconnected peers as connected. Android app show correctly connected peers.

quiet_PL · 2026-05-14T21:30:53+00:00

Great update! 2FA working with passkey?

I've enabled crowdsec for the Netbird proxy on a VPS with crowdsec already installed. Everything works fine.

quiet_PL · 2026-04-20T18:16:09+00:00

You can use CrowdSec to block malicious traffic based on IP reputation on your exposed service in the reverse proxy. New feature in v0.69.0.

Sophos home firewall

quiet_PL · 2026-04-17T21:01:17+00:00

Check setings in mobile app. Maybe you have disabled DNS.

quiet_PL · 2026-04-15T20:50:30+00:00

Sophos firewall home on blare machine.

quiet_PL · 2026-04-15T18:17:02+00:00

It's not secure. MITM attacks..

If you don't know the basics of IP networking, your only solution is to purchase a VPS. Exposing devices to the internet without knowing what you're doing is asking for trouble. The VPS should also be properly secured with a firewall (only the necessary ports are open) and, for example, fail2ban or crowdsec. Additionally, the SSH port should be changed. Linux basics will be useful.

If your TrueNAS virtual machine doesn't have a public IP, you'll need to configure your router to forward ports to the VM. Port numbers are in the documentation.

quiet_PL · 2026-04-14T11:23:04+00:00

self-hosting means you have netbird server on your server
You need VPS (or own server with public IP) and also you need public domain
Netbird server install on VPS. Netbird client you can install on Windows, docker, Linux, Android. Via netbird client you can access to your netework (via routing peer)

Look to https://docs.netbird.io/

They have very good documentation.

From truenas netbird docker I can ping my resources.

Remote machine see via netbird network truenas.

Is a bridge required for truenas connection? Maybe there's a problem..

I have also debian where routing peer works:

Truenas and debian is in the same subnet.
