The expose tracker used sync.Map for in-memory TTL tracking of active expose sessions, which broke and lost all sessions on restart.
Replace with SQL-backed operations that reuse the existing meta_last_renewed_at column:
- Add store methods: RenewEphemeralService, GetExpiredEphemeralServices, CountEphemeralServicesByPeer, EphemeralServiceExists
- Move duplicate/limit checks inside a transaction with row-level locking (SELECT ... FOR UPDATE) to prevent concurrent bypass
- Reaper re-checks expiry under row lock to avoid deleting a just-renewed service and prevent duplicate event emission
- Add composite index on (source, source_peer) for efficient queries
- Batch-limit and column-select the reaper query to avoid DB/GC spikes
- Filter out malformed rows with empty source_peer
CLI: new expose command to publish a local port with flags for PIN, password, user groups, custom domain, name prefix and protocol (HTTP default).
Management/API: create/renew/stop expose sessions (streamed status), automatic naming/domain, TTL renewals, background expiration, new management RPCs and client methods.
UI/API: account settings now include peer_expose_enabled and peer_expose_groups; new activity codes for peer expose events.
* Unified NetBird combined server (Management, Signal, Relay, STUN) as a single executable with richer YAML configuration, validation, and defaults.
* Official Dockerfile/image for single-container deployment.
* Optional in-process profiling endpoint for diagnostics.
* Multiplexing to route HTTP/gRPC/WebSocket traffic via one port; runtime hooks to inject custom handlers.
* **Chores**
* Updated deployment scripts, compose files, and reverse-proxy templates to target the combined server; added example configs and getting-started updates.
When a deleted peer tries to reconnect, GetUserIDByPeerKey was returning
Internal error instead of NotFound, causing clients to retry indefinitely
instead of recognizing the unrecoverable PermissionDenied error.
This fix:
1. Updates GetUserIDByPeerKey to properly return NotFound when peer doesn't exist
2. Updates Sync handler to convert NotFound to PermissionDenied with message
'peer is not registered', matching the behavior of GetAccountIDForPeerKey
Fixes the regression introduced in v0.61.1 where deleted peers would see:
- Before: 'rpc error: code = Internal desc = failed handling request' (retry loop)
- After: 'rpc error: code = PermissionDenied desc = peer is not registered' (exits)
Embed Dex as a built-in IdP to simplify self-hosting setup.
Adds an embedded OIDC Identity Provider (Dex) with local user management and optional external IdP connectors (Google/GitHub/OIDC/SAML), plus device-auth flow for CLI login. Introduces instance onboarding/setup endpoints (including owner creation), field-level encryption for sensitive user data, a streamlined self-hosting provisioning script, and expanded APIs + test coverage for IdP management.
