While setting up the VPN-portion of Netbird has been a breeze and is working absolutely fantastically, the Reverse Proxy portion is giving me quite some headaches.

I'm currently running netbird on an example domain of mydomain.com, but would also like to use i.e seconddomain.io and homedomain.tech, each with a couple of subdomains, on the reverse-proxy.

From my understanding, I'd first need to create a new Cluster, which then prompts me to set up a new "reverse-proxy" docker container, presumably on another server/VPS, since itself exposes ports 80+443 and connects back to the main instance.

BUT I want it to run from my main netbird instance, which itself has already the reverse proxy running.
I guess I'd should need to edit the proxy.env and somehow add the new domain(s)?

The file currently reads NB_PROXY_DOMAIN=mydomain.com amongst others. Would it suffice to possibly just add my other domains to this line as a comma separated list, or is there any other way? Sadly couldn't find anything regarding this setup in the docs.

Any help is much appreciated!

Currently trying to setup Pangolin on a VPS via the quickinstall-script - no matter what I try though, I am being greeted by a curl-error trying to download the installer:

[INFO] Installing latest version of installer...
[INFO] Fetching latest version from GitHub...
[INFO] Latest version: v1.19.2
[INFO] Detected platform: linux_amd64
[INFO] Install directory: /pangolin
[INFO] Downloading installer from https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin/releases/download/1.19.2/installer_linux_amd64
curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination

Tried different OS versions (Ubuntu 24.04 & 26.04), all kind of different folder locations, as sudo-user as well as root itself, two other servers in my home network ... It's always this exact same error.

I'm at a loss here...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So I just set up Netbird on a VPS a couple of days ago and the whole VPN-part is working absolutely flawlessly. Got a couple of mobile devices (Smartphones, Notebooks) up and running as well as a routing peer in my home network. My whole netbird-network (10.10.2.0/24) can reach my whole home network (192.168.2.0/24) and vise versa - I love the ease if setting it up, great piece of software!

The whole Reverse Proxy and Port/Service Forwarding is giving me headaches though.

Custom Domains:
Netbird itself is reachable via netbird.mydomain.com with a simple A-record for this subdomain pointing to my VPS directly (no wildcard-stuff, since my provider does not support them).
I've got a couple of different domains that need to be reverse-proxied though, so I pointed the A-record for anotherdomain.com to my VPS as well (with all the other subdomains for it pointing to it via CNAMEs as well later). Under "Custom Domains" I added the anotherdomain.com with netbird.mydomain.com as its "Target Proxy Cluster", but it has been stuck at "Pending Verification" for almost 2 days now.

Port/Service Forwarding:
This I don't seem to get working as well.
For some services I just need to completely forward a single TCP or UDP port, for example 9987/UDP for a TS3-server. So I added a "UDP-Service" with my "LAN"-resource as a target (which is my whole home-network of 192.168.2.0/24) and the according listen- as well as target-port and the host ip (say 192.168.2.25) - to no avail.
I tried using a "Peer" instead of a "Resource", tried different services on different ports (like a simple webapp, SSH, ...), even deactivated ALL firewalls on all machines involved as well sa the VPS itself - still nothing.

I'm at a loss here... 😞

Just tried installing Netbird via the quickstart-scripts yesterday on a freshly setup VPS with Ubuntu 26.04. Right upon the first prompt, after entering the domain name, it gets stuck on a blank prompt forever.

Reinstalled the VPS with 24.04 and it worked right out of the box.

Is this a known issue?
