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 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.
Oh yeah I know. I’m mostly only able to use deep servers and that’s why I switched because j wanted to be able to use my own deep server and not have to rely on tailscales.
FWIW, you can use Headscale’s embedded DERP server, or host your own. They need a STUN port and an HTTPS port
