Install netbird on Scale

[Stux]

Not 100% certain what NetBird is, but it seems to be similar to Tailscale… being a wireguard based vpn solution.

As such, if you want to add NetBird support to the TrueNAS host, a good way may be to install NetBird into a Sandbox, similar to how you can install Tailscale.

The basic recipe is to use host networking on the jail, which means you’ll effectively be exposing ports directly on the truenas host… from inside the jail.

Nothing special, except for inserting this when jlmkr asks for “Additional flags”: –capability=CAP_NET_ADMIN When the jail starts, shell into it, then apt install curl curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh tailscale up -authkey [your auth key] It just works. I’m aware that using simple host networking (instead of --network-macvlan or --network-bridge) is frowned upon, but in my specific case - using Tailscale to manage the host itself - it seemed the easiest way.
