Move `npm run build` out of the Docker image onto the runner, where actions/cache persists .next/cache across runs (the in-Docker build discarded it every time). The image now just packages the prebuilt .next and serves it with `next start`; runtime and the DocSearch entrypoint injection are unchanged.
Also: checkout full history (fetch-depth: 0) so per-page dates are correct, guard buildGitDateMap against shallow clones (correct-or-absent, never wrong), modernise the Docker actions (build-push-action v6, provenance: false), and add a path-filtered pull_request trigger so pipeline changes are validated before merge.
Smoke-tested via isolated build + docker run: serves /, /introduction, /api, sitemap, static assets (200); DocSearch placeholder injection intact.
Switch pr-build and the Docker image from `npm install` to `npm ci` (`npm ci --omit=dev` in the image), and enable setup-node's npm cache. Deterministic installs from the committed lockfile; CI now fails fast on an out-of-sync lockfile.
Depends on the lockfile being tracked (PR #838) — npm ci requires a committed package-lock.json.
Stop gitignoring the lockfile and commit a freshly regenerated one so CI and Docker builds install a pinned dependency tree instead of re-resolving `^` ranges on every run. Fresh resolution matches the versions already building (no version changes). Document the convention in CLAUDE.md. Enables `npm ci` as a follow-up.
Replace ~314 `git log` spawns per gen script with a single `git log --name-only` pass, memoised per process. Cuts gen:last-updated + gen:sitemap from ~15s to ~1.5s.
Output is byte-identical to the per-file version; still degrades to no-dates when git is unavailable (e.g. the Docker image).
* docs: add routing peer sizing guide
Add a Sizing Routing Peers page under Networks covering the four-step
sizing method, a per-peer capacity table, the tuning levers that matter,
and how to scale out by sharding load across identical Networks.
Cross-link it from How Routing Peers Work (HA note + related tile) and
the Networks overview, and add it to the docs navigation.
* docs: refine wording in routing peer sizing guide
Generalize the Acme example to remote users, correct the encrypt/decrypt
framing and reach the local network rather than the datacenter, use
'routing peer' instead of 'gateway', and rename the recap to Summary.
* docs: tighten and correct HA behavior in routing peer sizing guide
Correct the high-availability description: a single Network does not
balance load across its peers — different metrics give failover (one
peer carries all), equal metrics give latency-based nearest-peer
selection, which splits traffic by geography but never evenly. Shard
into more Networks to split load deterministically.
Also collapse redundant restatements, drop the secondary worked
example (the capacity table covers it), and slim the commodity-hardware
guidance.
* docs: add 1- and 2-vCPU rows to the routing peer capacity table
Extend the capacity table down to 1 and 2 vCPUs, drop the 'or more' from
the interface column, and adjust the methodology note so the interface
column reads uniformly as the minimum NIC to pair with each size.
* docs: add userspace WireGuard table and when-to-use cases
Add a userspace-mode capacity table showing wireguard-go does not scale
across cores (download plateaus ~6.8 Gbps, only ~4-5 cores used), and
the cases where a routing peer runs userspace: missing/broken/conflicting
kernel module, no TUN device (netstack, incl. rootless Docker), non-Linux
peers, and forcing userspace to capture policy IDs and blocked traffic
events. Name the exact benchmark CPU (Xeon Platinum 8375C).
* docs: replace 'sharding' with plain wording in sizing guide
Rename the Scaling out heading and reword the body, description, and
recap to talk about splitting load across more Networks instead of
sharding. Update the in-page anchor link to match the new heading.
* docs: clarify download/upload direction bullets in sizing guide
Lead each direction bullet with Download:/Upload: and say the routing
peer encrypts/decrypts, tying the pulling/pushing distinction to the
capacity table's column names.
* docs: replace 'shard' with plain wording in HA note
* docs: add jumbo frames section to routing peer sizing guide
* docs: align jumbo upload figure with capacity table, mark 16-vCPU line-rate as projection
* docs: use consistent numerals for MTU byte sizes
Adds the how-to under the reorganized /use-cases/remote-access group
(stacked on the Use Cases reorg). Walks through the decision ladder for
two sites sharing one internal IP, ending with the per-site TCP proxy
pattern on each routing peer.
* docs: consolidate scenario guides under /use-cases with redirects
Move 11 pages: feature-nested use cases from manage/networks,
manage/network-routes, manage/reverse-proxy, and the Kubernetes
integration into /use-cases/remote-access, /use-cases/cloud, and
/use-cases/security; the site-to-site decision page becomes
/use-cases/remote-access; the MikroTik guide becomes an install
guide at /get-started/install/mikrotik.
Add one redirect per moved page and flatten existing redirect
chains so every legacy URL resolves in a single hop. The
deprecated Routes site-to-site recipe stays put.
* docs: rebuild sidebar navigation for use-cases reorg
Remove the four nested Use Cases sublists from Manage NetBird;
keep the deprecated Routes recipe as a direct 'Site-to-Site
(legacy)' link. Rebuild USE CASES with Remote Access, Cloud &
Kubernetes, Security groups and a flat Homelab link. Add MikroTik
to Get Started > Platforms.
* docs: rebuild use-case index pages and refresh feature landing links
Turn /use-cases into an "I want to..." scenario finder. Retitle
the site-to-site decision page to Remote Access and point its
links at the new sibling URLs. Add the Kubernetes service and
private-proxy guides to the cloud and security indexes, refresh
the homelab landing links, and update the Networks, Routes,
Reverse Proxy, and Kubernetes landing pages to the new use-case
URLs.
* docs: update internal links to new use-case URLs
Point cross-links across the docs at the consolidated
/use-cases URLs. Links to the deprecated Routes site-to-site
recipe and all image paths under public/docs-static are left
unchanged.
* docs: shorten sidebar label to Site-to-Site
* docs: move Kubernetes into its own Use Cases section
Pull the entire Kubernetes integration out of Manage > Integrations
into a dedicated Kubernetes group under Use Cases at /use-cases/
kubernetes, and move the two Kubernetes cloud guides there too.
Rename the Cloud group (was 'Cloud & Kubernetes'); Integrations
keeps the MDM deployment pages. Add redirects for every moved page
and flatten existing chains.
* docs: drop 'NetBird on' prefix from cloud sidebar labels
* docs: alphabetize Remote Access use cases in sidebar
* ❯ add mikrotik to install index
* docs: fix duplicated word in remote-access link label on TV install pages

* docs: recommend Linux routing peers for file-share workloads
Add performance guidance to the Active Directory use case (Step 1
placement choice) and a performance trade-off note to Reach Services
on the Routing Peer: Windows/macOS peers process the data path in
userspace, and self-access delivery is slowest for reads, so a
dedicated Linux routing peer is the fast default for SMB/DFS.
* docs: platform-split the self-access performance note
Linux kernel-mode service hosts deliver to their own LAN IP at full
speed; the read-direction penalty is specific to Windows/macOS
userspace hosts.
* docs: scope the AD self-access caveat to Windows file servers
* docs: drop read-direction specifics from performance notes
The directional asymmetry is a suspected client defect under
engineering escalation, not durable documented behavior. Keep only
the kernel-vs-userspace guidance.
* docs: address review — dedupe performance guidance, fix note placement
- AD page: performance point stated once (Step 1 note, linking
how-routing-peers-work for the mechanism); bullets and recap trimmed;
Step 1 bullet now carries the Windows qualifier
- reach-services: note compressed to consequence + links, moved below
The scenario where LAN IP and the shape are defined
* Add OpenWRT install steps
* Add images
* Fixes and caveats
* minor fixes
* docs: call it "the NetBird client", not "the NetBird client (agent)"

Co-authored-by: Jack Carter <128555021+SunsetDrifter@users.noreply.github.com>
Document running a BYOP proxy in private mode with no public inbound
ports by disabling proxy ACME, issuing the wildcard TLS certificate
externally over DNS-01, and serving it as a static certificate that the
proxy hot-reloads on renewal.
Adds the page under reverse-proxy/use-cases with a new Use Cases nav
group, plus cross-links from the Bring Your Own Proxy page (port-443
prerequisite + TLS table) and the Reverse Proxy overview (static cert
mode).
* docs: add 'Choosing a pattern' overview to K8s getting started
Add a decision table and rules of thumb covering routing peer vs client
sidecar vs API server proxy vs Gateway API, so readers can pick the right
operator pattern. Clarifies that a sidecar (not a routing peer) is the
answer when a pod needs its own identity or to originate traffic onto the
overlay.
* docs: name the NetworkRouter CRD and clarify its DNS zone in the pattern table
* docs: add Highly Available Routing Peers use-case page (Kubernetes operator)
Add a standalone use-case page under a new Use Cases group in the Kubernetes
nav, covering how to run the operator's routing peers in HA: NetworkRouter
workloadOverride.replicas (default 3), the auto-created PodDisruptionBudget
(maxUnavailable: 1), equal-metric automatic failover, and spreading replicas
across failure domains via workloadOverride.podTemplate. Models least-privilege
(named destination group + access policy) rather than the All group.
* docs: add topology diagrams to HA routing peers page
Two SVG topology diagrams: replicas on a single node (single point of
failure) and replicas spread one-per-node via topologySpreadConstraints.
Embedded in Step 1 and the failure-domains section.
* docs: correct HA scheduling framing; drop single-node diagram
kube-scheduler spreads a Deployment's replicas across nodes by default
(best-effort, via built-in PodTopologySpread defaults). The earlier text/
diagram wrongly implied replicas co-locate by default. Reframe: multi-node
spread is the default; topologySpreadConstraints turns it into a guarantee
(or spans zones). Remove the single-node diagram (non-HA case, out of scope).
* docs: add Friendly DNS names appendix to HA routing peers page
Document exposing a service under a cleaner name via a CNAME in a custom
zone pointing at the operator's <service>.<namespace>.<zone> record (verified
end-to-end). Placed as an appendix for now; can move to a shared location later.
* docs: use ScheduleAnyway in spread example; note DoNotSchedule rollout deadlock
Multi-node verification: default scheduling already spreads replicas one-per-node;
the operator merges workloadOverride.podTemplate.topologySpreadConstraints into the
Deployment. DoNotSchedule with replicas == schedulable nodes deadlocks rolling updates
(surge pod can't place). Switch the example to ScheduleAnyway (verified clean rollout)
and document DoNotSchedule + the node-count/maxSurge caveat for a hard guarantee.
* docs: clarify custom-zone records are per-name (no whole-domain shadowing)
Verified on the lab: a NetBird custom zone serves only the records you add; other
names under the domain fall through to upstream DNS. Reusing a real internal domain
for friendly names is safe except for exact-name collisions.
* docs: expand into full 'Route to a Kubernetes service' how-to
Restructure the HA use-case page into an end-to-end guide covering the whole
journey: create the custom DNS zone, groups, and access policy (dashboard) ->
deploy HA routing peers (NetworkRouter, replicas:3) -> expose a Service
(NetworkResource) -> verify + failover. Generic, human-readable example names
(k8s.company.internal, kubernetes-clients/-services, network 'kubernetes',
nginx). Keeps the failure-domains diagram + ScheduleAnyway/DoNotSchedule note
and the friendly-DNS appendix. Adds <img> slots for 5 dashboard/terminal
screenshots (to be supplied). Renames the page + nav entry to
route-to-a-kubernetes-service; old slug removed.
* docs: add dashboard/terminal screenshots to the K8s how-to
Four screenshots (DNS zone, access policy, the kubernetes network with HA +
3 routing peers, kubectl pods-across-nodes). Drop the groups screenshot and
renumber the <img> refs to match.
* docs: swap in cleaner pods-across-nodes screenshot for Step 5
* docs: make node-spread central to the HA guide
Node-spread is the point of an HA guide, not a tail-end section. Move the
topology diagram up to 'What you'll achieve', fold the node-spread story into
Step 3 (deploy HA routing peers) - leading with the verified fact that the
scheduler spreads replicas across nodes by default (HA out of the box), with
topologySpreadConstraints as optional hardening - and drop the orphaned
'Spread across failure domains' section.
* docs: clarify the custom zone is created empty (operator fills the record)
Step 1 showed the auto-created A record without saying you don't enter it.
Note that you create only the zone (no hostname/IP/TTL by hand) and the
operator adds <service>.<namespace>.<zone> -> ClusterIP (5-min TTL) in Step 4.
* docs: replace Excalidraw topology with a custom dark-mode SVG
Hand-authored dark-background topology diagram (NetBird overlay -> routing
peers one-per-node -> Service) that matches the dark docs theme, replacing the
light Excalidraw-derived SVG. Removes the orphaned ha-routing-peers-spread-nodes.svg.
* docs: add CNAME dialog screenshot to the friendly-DNS appendix
Show the Add DNS Record dialog (CNAME 'app' -> nginx.default.k8s.company.internal)
and align the example hostname to 'app' to match.
* docs: drop maxSurge:0 workaround (not configurable via the operator)
The operator's workloadOverride only exposes annotations, labels, podTemplate,
and replicas — there is no hook for the Deployment's strategy.rollingUpdate.maxSurge.
Keep the achievable workaround (more schedulable nodes than replicas).
* docs: drop manual topology spread guidance (operator handles it by default)
* Restructure Troubleshooting into a hub with per-area pages
- Add a Troubleshooting hub (/help/troubleshooting) with icon/chip cards and a "Still stuck?" CTA
- Split NetBird Client troubleshooting into an overview + per-OS pages (Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS)
- Split Self-hosted troubleshooting into an overview + per-area pages (installation, IdP, dashboard, certificates, connectivity, database)
- Split "Report bugs and issues" into Community Support and NetBird Support pages
- Add Troubleshooting resource connectivity and a NetBird Cloud pending-approval page
- Add DNS troubleshooting Issue 8 (Windows NRPT rule blocked by a lingering GPO)
- Cross-reference the new pages from networks, DNS, and reverse-proxy docs; update nav
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Address review: client terminology, dead props, labels, cross-links
- Use "client" instead of "agent" across the client troubleshooting pages (headings, prose, anchors)
- Remove unused source: props from the Troubleshooting hub tiles
- Relabel the "NetBird Cloud" grouping to "Cloud & identity" (SSO/provisioning also apply to self-hosted)
- Add a Tiles title on the report-bug landing; add reverse-proxy -> resource-connectivity cross-link
- Fix comma splices introduced by the em-dash cleanup in relayed-connections
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Add client-side hash redirect for moved self-hosted anchors
Old deep links like /selfhosted/troubleshooting#debugging-turn-connections now
forward to the per-area page, since next.config redirects can't act on the URL fragment.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Apply docs-skill review: conventions + reshape area pages
- "open source" (no hyphen), expand NRPT on first use, descriptive alt text + captions on TURN images
- Fix inherited "Netbird" casing in the client glossary
- Reshape the six self-hosted area pages to Symptom -> likely causes (ordered) -> Fix -> Confirm, preserving anchored headings
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix two typos in client glossary (CodeRabbit)
- "nunning" -> "running" in the glossary
- possessive "it's" -> "its" in the routing-table sentence
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: fix two broken links in troubleshooting pages
- database: point the "upgrade path" link at /selfhosted/maintenance/upgrade;
selfhosted-quickstart has no #upgrade anchor so the old link landed at page top
- client: add HashRedirect so old #net-bird-agent-status deep links forward to
the renamed #net-bird-client-status section on the same page
* docs: address review follow-ups (deep-link redirects + client casing)
- self-hosted troubleshooting: extend the HashRedirect map with the per-issue
(###-level) anchors from the old single page, so old deep links land on the
exact sub-section of the new area page rather than just the page top
- client glossary: lowercase "NetBird client" in the peer-a/peer-b entries
(house convention) and fix "linux" -> "Linux"
* docs: review polish — fix image class + first-use acronym glosses
- connectivity: fix bad CSS class imagewrapper-nig -> imagewrapper on the
TURN-test screenshot (the typo'd class matched no style and broke zoom)
- gloss acronyms on first use: GPO (DNS Issue 8), IdP/SSO (identity-provider),
ACME (certificates), CORS (dashboard)

* docs: add persistent-route guidance for clientless devices and align site-to-site on Networks
Step 5 of both site-to-site guides (and the masquerade page) now walk a
first-time admin through persisting a Linux static route end to end:
detect Netplan vs systemd-networkd with `ls /etc/netplan/`, then a clear
Option A / Option B that are framed as alternatives, with the exact
editing mechanics (open in nano, save/exit keys, or a one-paste
systemd-networkd drop-in). Standardize on the `<IFACE>` placeholder with
an `ip -br addr` hint so a literal `eth0` can't silently misconfigure
hosts using predictable interface names.
Update the site-to-site use-case hub to recommend Networks for all
non-exit-node scenarios, rename "Network Routes" to "Routes", and
reconcile the comparison section with the Routes deprecation.
* docs: promote Routes site-to-site recommendation to a deprecation warning
Move the 'use Networks instead' callout above the Architecture section
and make it a Warning, matching the Routes deprecation. Keep the legacy
no-Policy nuance and the Site-to-VPN pointer; rename Network Routes to Routes.
* docs: correct Networks scenario support and mark Routes deprecated
- advanced-configuration: Networks supports all scenarios (VPN-to-Site,
Site-to-VPN, Site-to-Site), not VPN-to-Site only
- how-routing-peers-work: Routes labeled deprecated, not 'still supported'
* docs: import Note explicitly in site-to-site use-case page
Addresses CodeRabbit: <Note> was used without an explicit import from
@/components/mdx, relying on the global MDX provider.
* docs: repoint site-to-site cross-links to Networks
Site-to-site moved to Networks; update the homelab and cloud use-case
tiles/table and the access-home-devices and cloud-to-on-premise Next
Steps links to /manage/networks/use-cases/site-to-site.
* docs: rename Network Routes to Routes in prose and repoint advanced-config links
Bucket A rename (display text only): rename the 'Network Routes' feature
name to 'Routes' across prose, link labels, table cells, alt text, Tiles
names, and code comments. Headings are deliberately left unchanged to
avoid breaking anchors and inbound links; URL paths (/manage/network-routes)
are unchanged. Generic routing-table mentions and the desktop system-tray
UI label are left as-is.
Also repoint the access-home-devices and cloud-to-on-premise 'Advanced
configuration' Next Steps links from the Routes advanced-config page to
/manage/networks/masquerade.
* Update site-to-site documentation for clarity
Removed outdated information about using Routes for site-to-site connections.
* Update src/pages/manage/networks/use-cases/site-to-site.mdx

---------
Co-authored-by: coderabbitai[bot] <136622811+coderabbitai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
The /selfhosted/environment-variables reference page had no inbound
links and was only reachable by direct URL or search. Add it under
Maintenance, after Configuration Files.
* docs: add routing-peer self-access and Active Directory guides
New use-case guides: reaching a service on a routing peer's own LAN IP
(route + peer-to-peer policy + NB_ENABLE_LOCAL_FORWARDING) and an
end-to-end Active Directory / Windows file shares guide over NetBird.
Clarify domain-resource DNS: with Routing Peer DNS Resolution on, the
routing peer answers the client's A/AAAA lookups (a domain resource
matches the exact name; use a wildcard for hostnames under a domain),
but AD still needs a nameserver group for the SRV/DC-locator records.
Add navigation entries, overlay-vs-LAN-IP notes, and ICMP/ping
troubleshooting guidance.
* docs: fix WireGuard anchor slug and sharpen local-forwarding caution
The #why-wireguard-with-netbird anchor doesn't resolve — the heading
slugifies to #why-wire-guard-with-net-bird (decamelized). Fix it in the
networks intro and the netbird-vs-traditional-vpn self-link.
Clarify the NB_ENABLE_LOCAL_FORWARDING caution: with it on, any permitted
peer can reach services bound to the routing peer's own addresses,
including 127.0.0.1, at the peer's NetBird IP.
* docs: polish routing-peer and Active Directory guides
- Correct the DC policy note: TCP/UDP need separate policies because a
policy carries one protocol, not because of a first-rule limitation
- Make internal-dns-servers the canonical A/AAAA-vs-SRV explanation;
collapse the three duplicates to one-line pointers
- Trim emphatic bold to enumerated requirements, ports, and flags
- Reduce em-dash density and clarify the routing-peer SSH-management
and HA cautions in the AD guide
* docs: make Active Directory guide clearer for junior admins
- Rewrite the Verify section to explain why (test as the signed-in
domain user, port 445 vs ping, name vs IP) instead of assuming
ICMP/Kerberos/NTLM knowledge
- Clarify the SSH-management and HA cautions in Step 3
- Note Get-DfsnFolderTarget needs the DFS Management tools (RSAT),
not just any domain-joined machine
- Reduce em-dash density throughout
* docs: Routing Peer DNS Resolution applies to all domain resources, not just wildcards
* docs: refine Active Directory guide and nameserver terminology
- Step 3 DC ports as a Port/Protocol/Needed-for table; promote 123
(time sync) and 464 (kpasswd) into the baseline
- DFS step: derive each target server's FQDN for the domain resource
- order the agent-placement and reachability shapes consistently
(dedicated routing peer first)
- drop the niche SSH-wedge caution and the premature masquerade note
- tie the ping/ICMP caveat to the port-scoped policies
- use "Nameserver" + "match domain" (the UI term) instead of
"nameserver group" across the AD, internal-DNS, and reach-services pages
* docs: scope the local-forwarding caution — loopback exposure is netstack-only
Reaching the routing peer's own 127.0.0.1-bound services via its NetBird IP
only happens on netstack-mode peers; on userspace-TUN (Windows/macOS) it does
not (verified), and Linux kernel mode is a no-op. The general "exposes own
addresses" caution stands; drop the over-broad 127.0.0.1/localhost specifics.
* docs: trim DC-through-routing-peer section to the DNS-only reason and reorder AD subsections
Drop the setup-flavored framing from 'Reaching a Domain Controller
through a routing peer' (it lives on the AD use-case page), keeping the
DNS reference fact: A/AAAA resolves on the routing peer but SRV/DC-locator
records don't, so AD still needs a nameserver to the DC. Heading text is
unchanged so the existing anchor still resolves. Reorder the AD & Domain
Controllers subsections to lead with the recommended case (reach the DC
through a separate routing peer), then the discouraged DC-as-routing-peer
path, then its WireGuard port-conflict troubleshooting.
* docs: drop redundant cross-link from AD Step 4 nameserver note
The note already explains why a domain resource doesn't remove the
nameserver requirement (SRV/DC-locator records). The trailing link to the
DNS page's 'Reaching a Domain Controller through a routing peer' section
just repeated that fact and linked back here, bouncing the reader. Step 4
already links to Internal DNS Servers for the general setup.
* docs: restructure AD routing-peer guidance — least-privilege tiers, DC route/policy split, de-loop cross-links
Active Directory & Windows File Shares:
- Add a TL;DR linking to a new 'The four settings' checklist at the bottom.
- Split Step 3 into Step 3 (route the DC) and Step 4 (allow the AD ports);
DNS becomes Step 5. Keeps the route distinct from the access policies.
- Step 2: break each routing-peer case into sub-bullets of what's needed;
point the self-access case to Reach Services on the Routing Peer.
- Step 3: present /32 or apex domain as the granular default and the
*.corp.example.com wildcard as the least-privilege opt-in — and spell out
the wildcard's one-policy-scope cost (uniform ports across the whole domain).
Reach Services on the Routing Peer:
- Tighten the setup steps; concrete DNS-nameserver instruction for AD/DFS;
state the Linux kernel-mode default for NB_ENABLE_LOCAL_FORWARDING.
- 'recipe' -> 'setup' throughout.
Internal DNS Servers:
- Clarify nameserver vs plain share: A/AAAA via the routing peer needs no
nameserver; AD needs one for SRV records and because the resolver won't
fall back. Distribute the nameserver to the routing peer's group *and*
client groups that resolve directly; only when the peer can't resolve on
its own. Reorder AD subsections; fix the overbroad distribution note.
How Routing Peers Work / cross-links:
- Remove redundant/circular cross-links across the four pages (the
HRPW -> Internal DNS -> Active Directory -> HRPW loop).
* docs: use "NetBird client"/"clientless" wording in AD and self-access guides
Replace 'the agent'/'agentless' with the preferred 'NetBird client'/'clientless' terms, and add the missing blank line before the Step 2 heading.
* docs: lower altitude of routing-peer/AD guides for junior admins
- Unify the overlay address as 'NetBird IP' and the local one as 'LAN IP' across the routing-peer/DNS pages; add a 2-line two-address primer to the two crux pages.
- Replace the dense userspace/netstack/kernel forwarding sentence with a platform table framed to the self-access case, plus a netstack-override footnote.
- Demote the wildcard policy-scope trade-off in the AD guide to a Note, keeping the granular-first nudge in the main flow.
- Split the 'Reaching a DC through a routing peer' paragraph into what-it-needs / why-a-domain-resource-isn't-enough bullets.
- De-duplicate the self-access section: it now owns the mental model and points to the use-case page for the concrete setup.
* docs: clarify the forwarding section for junior admins
- Disambiguate NB_ENABLE_LOCAL_FORWARDING from the IP-forwarding sysctl by naming the setting explicitly before the table.
- Split local forwarding into its own '### Local forwarding' subheading, distinct from '### IP forwarding'; repoint the #local-forwarding cross-link.
- Drop the netstack-specific override footnote — edge-case reference material that doesn't help the target reader (the row already names the correct flag).
* docs: apply review feedback to routing-peer/AD guides
- AD Step 4: list the AD ports per TCP/UDP access control policy instead of a dense one-rule-per-policy sentence; add 123 to the four-settings recap.
- De-duplicate the route+policy+local-forwarding triad within how-routing-peers-work (Local forwarding now points to the canonical statement); render the LAN-IP requirements as a sub-list.
- Plain-language rewrite of why a domain resource isn't enough for AD DNS.
- Qualify Global Catalog 3268/3269 to multi-domain forests; state the default branch in AD Step 1.
- Fix the Networks Tiles description to say 'NetBird client', not 'agent'.
- Add DNS troubleshooting Issue 7 for the AD symptom (login/DFS fails but file-by-IP works), cross-linked to the AD guide and the DC section.
* docs: recast AD "four settings" as an explicit NetBird config checklist
Rename the summary to 'What you configure in NetBird' and list the discrete NetBird objects: routing peer, a route (resource) to the file server and to the DC, separate access control policies for each, and a DNS nameserver. Keep the full AD port set in Step 4 only; update the TL;DR link to the new (decamelized) anchor.
* docs: clarify the self-access setup steps
- Identify NB_ENABLE_LOCAL_FORWARDING as an environment variable and link the Client Environment Variables reference.
- Front-load the platform on step 3 (Windows/macOS need the flag; Linux kernel forwarding doesn't, only netstack) and soften the 'all three required' framing accordingly.
- Explain that steps 1 and 3 exist only because clients reach the file server at its LAN IP; reaching a peer at its NetBird IP needs only the policy.
* docs: add unlisted Enterprise Commercial License getting-started page
Self-hosted NetBird stack guide with embedded IdP, served at /selfhosted/enterprise/getting-started. Reachable by direct link only; intentionally not added to the sidebar nav.
* docs: add custom TLS certificate appendix to Enterprise getting-started
* docs: rewrite Enterprise Commercial getting-started from script-based deployment guide
Replace the topology-choice page with the current script-based flow:
getting-started.sh for fresh installs and migrate-to-commercial.sh for
community-to-enterprise migrations. Add the migration path, numbered
sections, and a troubleshooting section; standardize on enterprise
terminology and <your-domain> placeholders. Keep the IdP-connection
links and the custom-TLS appendix.
* docs: clarify traffic-flow note in Enterprise getting-started
* docs: link Docker install in Enterprise getting-started prerequisites
* docs: rename Network Routes to Routes, deprecate, and relocate Browser Client Architecture
- Rename the docs sidebar entry "Network Routes" to "Routes" and the page H1
- Add a deprecation note to the Routes page: all use cases except exit nodes
have moved to Networks; reconcile the body framing accordingly
- Move Browser Client Architecture under Peers > Browser Client
(/manage/peers/browser-client/architecture), nest the nav, add a redirect,
and update cross-links
- Shrink the site-to-site Architecture diagram boxes to fit their content
* docs: rename Routes nav 'Concept' link to 'Overview'
* docs: add Troubleshooting relayed connections teaching page
Adds a help-section teaching doc that walks junior admins from
'Connection type: Relayed' to a fixed P2P connection (or a justified
stop): mental model, the four players (NAT/Signal/STUN/Relay), ICE
candidate reading, an elimination-based decision flow, a port-forwarding
escape hatch, a worked walkthrough, and when relay is the right answer.
Moves the troubleshooting-oriented sections (Checking Your Connection
Type, Tips for Improving P2P Success) out of Understanding NAT and
Connectivity, leaving it purely conceptual with pointers to the new
page. Adds sidebar entry and a pointer from troubleshooting-client.
* fix: correct nftables example for STUN outbound rule
The STUN service runs on UDP 80/443/3478/5555, but the example rule
allowed TCP/443. Also note that nftables resolves hostnames at
ruleset-load time only, which matters for a dynamic geo-distributed
endpoint pool.
Create a standalone User Roles reference covering all six roles (Owner,
Admin, Network Admin, Billing Admin, Auditor, User) with a permission
matrix aligned to the current dashboard, per-role sections, API/token
notes, and role-assignment steps.
Reduce the role section on the Add Users page to a pointer (keeping the
existing anchor), repoint inbound links from delete-account,
control-center, and msp-portal, add the page to the Team sidebar, and
refresh the role screenshots.
