NetBird client for nanoKVM devices

This repository provides a nanoKVM-compatible NetBird client and an accompanying installation script for installing and updating the client on nanoKVM devices. After installation, the client operates similarly to a NetBird client on any standard headless Linux distribution.

Instructions for registering the nanoKVM device can be found at: https://docs.netbird.io/how-to/register-machines-using-setup-keys

Note

• The NetBird client may occasionally exhibit slow performance. However, once it is connected, the network performance is fine.
• The NetBird service startup script has been modified for use on the nanoKVM device. Do NOT use the NetBird client to manage the service.
  Use /etc/init.d/S98netbird [start|stop|restart|status] instead.

Installation or updating

Both installation and updating can be performed using a single command

curl -sL https://github.com/bc547/nanoNetBird/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh -

To avoid unnecessary downloads, if NetBird is already installed, the script verifies first if a newer version is available before downloading and applying the update.

Note

The install/update script will look for the latest release within this repository. However, this repository is not (yet) automatically updated when new versions are published in the official NetBird repository, so it may lag behind.

Files

The NetBird client is installed to /usr/sbin/netbird, and its service startup script to /etc/init.d/S98netbird.

The client configuration files can be found in /etc/netbird/ (as usual).
