Integrates main's MDM configuration-profile feature and adapts it to the Wails UI (this branch had already replaced the Fyne UI). Conflict resolution: - go.mod/go.sum: take main's deps; howett.net/plist pinned to v1.0.2-... (tidy) - client/proto/daemon.pb.go: regenerated from the merged daemon.proto - client/internal/peer/status.go: union of ipToKey (main) + sessionExpiresAt (HEAD) - client/server/server.go: main's intent/liveness model (connectionGoroutineRunning, clientRunning no longer cleared by the goroutine) + empty-PSK guard - client/ui/client_ui.go, client/ui/profile.go: removed (dead Fyne UI) MDM port (backend + tray): - services/settings.go: expose MDMManagedFields plus a managedFields map keyed by Config field names so the settings form can gate a control without translating mdm.Key* names - tray: gate Profiles / Exit Node menus on DisableProfiles / DisableNetworks via GetFeatures, refreshed on the config_changed system event (replaces the legacy 2s poll); localized MDM policy-applied toast in all shipped locales - client/proto/metadata.go: shared constants for the config_changed / policy_applied event markers PreSharedKey: GetConfig now returns preSharedKeySet (bool) instead of the masked value; the settings form provides its own placeholder and sends a new key only when the user types one.
NetBird desktop UI (Wails3 + React)
Replaces client/ui (Fyne). One binary on Windows / macOS / Linux,
talks to the NetBird daemon over gRPC, renders a React frontend in a
WebView.
Prerequisites
- Go ≥ 1.25, Node ≥ 20, pnpm (
corepack enable && corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate) wails3CLI:go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@latesttask:go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest- A running NetBird daemon (default:
unix:///var/run/netbird.sock, Windowstcp://127.0.0.1:41731) - Linux only:
libwebkitgtk-6.0-dev,libgtk-4-dev,libsoup-3.0-dev
Develop without rebuilding
cd client/ui
task dev
task dev runs Vite (port 9245) + the Go binary + a *.go watcher.
Frontend edits hot-reload instantly. Go edits trigger a rebuild and
relaunch. Pass daemon flags after --:
task dev -- --daemon-addr=tcp://127.0.0.1:41731
For pure UI work (no native window, fastest loop):
cd frontend && pnpm dev
Production build
task build
Output in bin/. Frontend assets are embedded into the binary.
Cross-compile Windows from Linux
Install the mingw-w64 toolchain once:
sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf install mingw64-gcc # Fedora
sudo pacman -S mingw-w64-gcc # Arch
Then:
CGO_ENABLED=1 task windows:build
Produces bin/netbird-ui.exe. macOS cross-compile from Linux is not
supported (signing and notarization need a real Mac).
Windows console build (logs in the terminal)
Default windows:build links the binary as a Windows GUI app, which
detaches from the launching console — logrus output, fmt.Println,
and panics go nowhere visible. To debug tray/event/daemon issues:
CGO_ENABLED=1 task windows:build:console
Produces bin/netbird-ui-console.exe. Run it from cmd.exe /
PowerShell / Windows Terminal and stdout/stderr land in that
terminal. Same flag works on a native Windows build (drop the
CGO_ENABLED=1 if your toolchain already has it set).
Regenerating bindings
When a Go service signature changes:
wails3 generate bindings
task dev does this automatically on *.go save.
Tray icons
Source SVGs live in assets/svg/ (state.svg + state-macos.svg). After editing
any SVG, rasterize to the PNGs the Go side embeds:
task common:generate:tray:icons
Requires Inkscape. Commit the resulting assets/*.png files alongside the
SVG change so CI doesn't need Inkscape installed.
