Enable Next `output: 'standalone'` and rewrite the Dockerfile to package only the traced standalone server + .next/static + public on node:20-slim (glibc, matching the runner), running `node server.js`. No in-image npm ci, no full source or dependency tree. Cuts the image ~52%, so docker push and the server pull get much faster.
Also fixes a latent entrypoint bug (${VAR:"none"} -> ${VAR:-"none"}) that busybox sh tolerated but Debian dash (node:20-slim /bin/sh) rejects, which would otherwise crash the container on boot.
Smoke-tested via isolated build + docker run: boots in 37ms, all routes 200, redirects still bundled (/slack-url -> 307), static + public assets served, DocSearch env-injection intact.
* 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

* 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'
The Networks and Network Routes "By Scenario" / "By Resource Type" /
"By Configuration" subgroups had grown into reskinned walkthroughs of
flows already on the concept pages. Collapse to what's actually
distinct, flatten the survivors up one level, fold unique nuggets
into the concept pages.
Networks:
- Delete the "By Resource Type" trio (Multiple IP Resources, Domain
Resources, Wildcard Domains) and Remote Worker Access — all rehashes
of /manage/networks. Fold the wildcard-vs-base-domain gotcha and the
shared-policy pattern into the concept page.
- Delete the Use Cases overview; fold the VPN-to-Site framing into the
concept page.
- Flatten access-home-devices and cloud-to-on-premise up out of
/by-scenario/.
Network Routes:
- Consolidate site-to-site-{home,office,cloud} into one
/manage/network-routes/use-cases/site-to-site page covering the
shared walkthrough plus AWS/GCP/Azure routing-peer requirements.
- Move exit-nodes, access-control, overlapping-routes, and
advanced-configuration up out of /by-{scenario,configuration}/.
- Trim advanced-configuration (301 → 144 lines), dropping masquerade
basics, ACL setup, site-to-site flow, and HA repetition duplicated
elsewhere. Keep the masquerade trade-off matrix, Networks-vs-Routes
comparison, troubleshooting, and debug commands.
- Delete the Use Cases overview.
Permanent redirects added for every removed URL. Inbound references
updated across introduction, ipv6, homelab, cloud, security,
site-to-site overview, android-tv/tvOS install pages, and the concept
pages.
* docs: add Site-to-VPN scenario guide
New dedicated guide for letting clientless devices on a local network
initiate connections to NetBird peers (the reverse of VPN-to-Site).
Covers static-route and DNAT options, DNS resolution via dnsmasq, and
explains why the target peer always observes the routing peer's NetBird
IP as the source.
- Add src/pages/manage/network-routes/use-cases/by-scenario/site-to-vpn.mdx
- Wire it into NavigationDocs.jsx
- Update the site-to-site overview table row to point at the new page
- Replace the stub Site-to-VPN subsection in site-to-site-office.mdx
with a pointer to the new guide
* docs(site-to-vpn): correct source-IP section, add firewall and interface notes
- Source IP Behavior: remove the option that suggested emptying the
destination peer's policies. That doesn't preserve source IP; it just
tears down the wireguard pairing. Replace with an honest "not possible
with legacy Network Routes."
- Step 3: call out that hosts with FORWARD-DROP firewalls (UFW, firewalld)
need an explicit ACCEPT rule between the site interface and wt0.
- Option B: prefix the DNAT step with `ip -br addr` so customers find the
right site-facing interface instead of assuming eth0.
- Step 1: use "Name" for the setup key field instead of the route-only
"Network Identifier".
* docs(site-to-vpn): tighten prereqs, firewall step, and source-IP wording
- Drop generic prereqs (account, routing peer hardware, target peer)
- Reduce Step 3 to the host-firewall FORWARD rule
- Label Networks-feature Site-to-VPN as 'not possible' rather than limited
- Rename topology arrow to 'NetBird Overlay'
- Clarify masquerade lives on the routing peer in troubleshooting
* docs(site-to-vpn): switch primary path to Networks; document outbound SNAT requirement
Verified in the lab that Networks supports Site-to-VPN with the same
shape as Network Routes (Resource + Routing Peer + peer-group policy).
The differentiating factor is not the feature but the routing peer
platform: NetBird's masquerade flag does not install a working outbound
SNAT on non-Linux peers or in userspace mode, so the user must configure
it explicitly on the routing peer or upstream firewall.
Doc changes:
- Lead with Networks; Network Routes is now framed as an equivalent
alternative rather than the only option
- New Step 3 dedicated to the outbound SNAT (Linux iptables, pfSense /
OPNsense, MikroTik examples)
- New section "Outbound SNAT requirement" explaining why the destination
peer's access control rejects unrewritten site IPs and where the
dashboard masquerade flag is and isn't sufficient
- Up-front Warning calls out the platform requirement so customers don't
silently misconfigure
- Troubleshooting entry updated to point at SNAT counters and tcpdump
- Updated Source IP Behavior section to reflect that the behavior is the
same on both Networks and Network Routes
Parent page changes:
- /use-cases/site-to-site: Scenario Support table now shows Site-to-VPN
as Yes on both Networks and Network Routes; "Which Scenario Do I Need"
row points at both implementations
* docs(site-to-vpn): make static route the only Step 6 path; move DNAT to appendix
The static-route approach is the canonical setup; the per-service DNAT
option is a fallback for sites where routing changes aren't possible.
Treat it that way in the doc to keep the main flow linear.
- Step 6 now describes only the static-route approach (former Option A)
- Add a one-line pointer at the end of Step 6 to the appendix for sites
where the route can't be set
- Move the DNAT instructions to a new appendix at the bottom of the page
- Simplify Test Connectivity to a single curl
- Trim the Option-A/Option-B framing from the Troubleshooting "Connection
times out" entry
* docs(site-to-vpn): drop Source IP Behavior section
The "Outbound SNAT requirement" section already covers why the source IP
ends up as the routing peer's NetBird IP; a separate Source IP Behavior
section was repeating the same point and adding a speculative paragraph
about future Networks support. Drop both, plus the up-front Warning that
pointed at the removed section.
* docs(site-to-vpn): drop the Networks-vs-Network-Routes note
The guide is written around Networks; the side-note suggesting Network
Routes as an alternative path adds noise without value. The Step 4 inline
note keeps the Network Routes equivalent for anyone who needs it.
* docs(site-to-vpn): drop the inline Network Routes equivalent note
The guide is Networks-only now. Pointing readers at Network Routes mid-flow
just creates two paths to maintain without serving the reader who's
following the steps in front of them.
* docs(site-to-vpn): move page under Networks → Use Cases
The page describes a Networks-based setup; living under Network Routes
mis-categorised it.
- git mv to /manage/networks/use-cases/site-to-vpn.mdx (as a direct
child of Use Cases, not under By Scenario)
- Navigation: remove entry from Network Routes → By Scenario, add under
Networks → Use Cases
- Redirect old URL (/manage/network-routes/use-cases/by-scenario/site-to-vpn)
to new URL, permanent
- Update in-tree links in use-cases/site-to-site/index.mdx and
network-routes/use-cases/by-scenario/site-to-site-office.mdx
* docs(site-to-site): drop Network Routes mentions for Site-to-VPN
The Site-to-VPN guide is Networks-only; the overview page shouldn't
still be listing Network Routes alongside it.
* docs(site-to-vpn): trust NetBird's automatic SNAT on Linux kernel mode
On Linux in kernel mode, NetBird installs the SNAT itself when masquerade
is enabled on the routing peer — the user does not need a manual iptables
rule. Reframe Step 3 around this:
- Linux: enable ip_forward only; NetBird does the SNAT
- Non-Linux (pfSense / OPNsense / MikroTik / Windows / macOS / userspace):
configure manual outbound SNAT on the routing peer or upstream firewall
- Tighten the "Outbound SNAT requirement" appendix accordingly
- Move the explicit Linux iptables MASQUERADE rule into a troubleshooting
fallback for the case where NetBird's automatic SNAT doesn't fire
* docs(site-to-vpn): drop sysctl ip_forward instruction on Linux
NetBird handles IP forwarding itself on Linux; the manual sysctl was
unnecessary noise. Keep the host-firewall FORWARD-ACCEPT note since
UFW/firewalld setups still need it.
* docs(site-to-vpn): route the account's /16, not the entire /10 CGNAT range
NetBird assigns each account one /16 block out of 100.64.0.0/10 (chosen
randomly, customisable). Routing the whole /10 sends unrelated CGNAT
addresses through the routing peer; the correct target is the account's
own /16.
Step 6 now:
- Explains the /16-per-account model with the 64-block context
- Shows how to read the account's /16 from `netbird status` on any peer
- Switches the Linux / Windows / DHCP-option-121 examples to a concrete
/16 example (100.121.0.0/16) with a note to substitute your own
* docs(site-to-vpn): clarify when the target peer uses a setup key
Setup keys are for service / appliance peers; user peers (laptops,
workstations) enroll through SSO and inherit groups from existing
assignments. Reword the target-peer instruction to reflect that
distinction.
* docs(site-to-vpn): rename target peer to overlay-peer / overlay-peers
The previous backup-collector / backup-collectors naming carried
scenario-specific framing into the step examples. Use the generic
overlay-peer / overlay-peers throughout to keep the guide universal.
* chore: add trailing commas in Kubernetes nav entries
* Revert "chore: add trailing commas in Kubernetes nav entries"
This reverts commit d11b7eb7d0.
Delete /about-netbird/other (Google Summer of Code 2022 project
ideas) and add a 301 redirect to /introduction. The page was
orphaned — not linked from navigation, contained broken internal
links, and had no modern equivalent.
