* [management, client] Add management-controlled client metrics push
Allow enabling/disabling client metrics push from the dashboard via
account settings instead of requiring env vars on every client.
- Add MetricsConfig proto message to NetbirdConfig
- Add MetricsPushEnabled to account Settings (DB-persisted)
- Expose metrics_push_enabled in OpenAPI and dashboard API handler
- Populate MetricsConfig in sync and login responses
- Client dynamically starts/stops push based on management config
- NB_METRICS_PUSH_ENABLED env var overrides management when explicitly set
- Add activity events for metrics push enable/disable
* Remove log line
* [management] Fix peer update test for MetricsConfig in NetbirdConfig
Update TestUpdateAccountPeers assertions: NetbirdConfig is no longer
nil in peer update responses since it now carries MetricsConfig even
when STUN/TURN config is absent.
* Regenerate proto files with protoc v7.34.1
* [management] Read metrics push setting in Postgres account query
getAccountPgx omitted settings_metrics_push_enabled from its hand-written
SELECT and Scan, so the toggle was always read back as false on Postgres
and never reached clients.
* [client] Fix metrics push getting stuck off after engine restart
Engine restarts (backoff retries within the same login session) cancel
e.ctx, which the push goroutine's lifetime was tied to. The goroutine
died silently but ClientMetrics.push stayed non-nil since only an
explicit stop clears it, so the next UpdatePushFromMgm call saw a
"push already running" state and never restarted it.
Give the Engine its own metricsCtx sourced from ConnectClient.ctx,
which outlives engine restarts, so handleMetricsUpdate stops tying the
push to the wrong-scoped context. Additionally make ClientMetrics.push
an atomic.Pointer that the push goroutine clears via CompareAndSwap on
exit, so the tracked state can never drift from the goroutine's actual
lifetime regardless of which context a future caller passes in.
* [management] Regenerate OpenAPI types with oapi-codegen v2.7.1
types.gen.go was regenerated with a stale local v2.6.0 binary,
causing the CI git-diff check against generate.sh's pinned v2.7.1
to fail.
Auto-update logic moved out of the UI into a dedicated updatemanager.Manager service that runs in the connection layer. The
UI no longer polls or checks for updates independently.
The update manager supports three modes driven by the management server's auto-update policy:
No policy set by mgm: checks GitHub for the latest version and notifies the user (previous behavior, now centralized)
mgm enforces update: the "About" menu triggers installation directly instead of just downloading the file — user still initiates the action
mgm forces update: installation proceeds automatically without user interaction
updateManager lifecycle is now owned by daemon, giving the daemon server direct control via a new TriggerUpdate RPC
Introduces EngineServices struct to group external service dependencies passed to NewEngine, reducing its argument count from 11 to 4
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.
Add LocalAuthDisabled option to embedded IdP configuration
This adds the ability to disable local (email/password) authentication when using the embedded Dex identity provider. When disabled, users can only authenticate via external
identity providers (Google, OIDC, etc.).
This simplifies user login when there is only one external IdP configured. The login page will redirect directly to the IdP login page.
Key changes:
Added LocalAuthDisabled field to EmbeddedIdPConfig
Added methods to check and toggle local auth: IsLocalAuthEnabled, HasNonLocalConnectors, DisableLocalAuth, EnableLocalAuth
Validation prevents disabling local auth if no external connectors are configured
Existing local users are preserved when disabled and can login again when re-enabled
Operations are idempotent (disabling already disabled is a no-op)
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.

This PR adds user approval functionality to the management system, allowing administrators to manually approve new users joining via domain matching. When enabled, users are blocked with pending approval status until explicitly approved by an admin.
Adds UserApprovalRequired setting to control manual user approval requirement
Introduces user approval and rejection endpoints with corresponding business logic
Prevents pending approval users from adding peers or logging in
This PR introduces a new onboarding feature to handle such flows in the dashboard by defining an AccountOnboarding model, persisting it in the store, exposing CRUD operations in the manager and HTTP handlers, and updating API schemas and tests accordingly.
Add AccountOnboarding struct and embed it in Account
Extend Store and DefaultAccountManager with onboarding methods and SQL migrations
Update HTTP handlers, API types, OpenAPI spec, and add end-to-end tests
adds NetFlow functionality to track and log network traffic information between peers, with features including:
- Flow logging for TCP, UDP, and ICMP traffic
- Integration with connection tracking system
- Resource ID tracking in NetFlow events
- DNS and exit node collection configuration
- Flow API and Redis cache in management
- Memory-based flow storage implementation
- Kernel conntrack counters and userspace counters
- TCP state machine improvements for more accurate tracking
- Migration from net.IP to netip.Addr in the userspace firewall
