NetBird Server (monolithic)

This add-on runs the NetBird self-hosted server stack in a single container (Management + Signal + Dashboard + Coturn). It does not use Home Assistant ingress. Access the Dashboard directly via the configured port.

NetBird relies on gRPC. If you place the Management/Signal endpoints behind a reverse proxy, it must support HTTP/2 + gRPC proxying. See the NetBird reverse-proxy guide for supported configurations: https://docs.netbird.io/selfhosted/reverse-proxy.

The NetBird self-hosted guide includes up-to-date port requirements and legacy port notes: https://docs.netbird.io/selfhosted/selfhosted-guide.

The Dashboard container requires the NETBIRD_MGMT_API_ENDPOINT environment variable (the add-on injects this automatically) as described in the NetBird dashboard README: https://github.com/netbirdio/dashboard#readme.

Quick start

  1. Install the add-on.
  2. Start the add-on and verify all services are running in the log output.
  3. Stop the add-on, edit the generated management.json to configure your Identity Provider (IdP).
  4. Update /config/netbird/dashboard/env with the NETBIRD_MGMT_API_ENDPOINT and AUTH_* values for the dashboard.
  5. Start the add-on again and access the dashboard at http://<HA_HOST>:8080.

Configuration

This add-on starts with zero configuration options. It writes default configs into /config/netbird and runs on the standard NetBird ports.

Dashboard environment overrides

Edit /config/netbird/dashboard/env to configure the dashboard UI:

  • NETBIRD_MGMT_API_ENDPOINT: Public URL of the management API (for example, https://netbird.example.com).
  • AUTH_AUTHORITY, AUTH_CLIENT_ID, AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, AUTH_AUDIENCE, AUTH_SUPPORTED_SCOPES, USE_AUTH0: OIDC settings for the dashboard UI.

Generated configuration

On first start, the add-on creates:

  • management.json in $data_dir/management/
  • turnserver.conf in $data_dir/turn/

If you need advanced settings, stop the add-on and edit these files. The add-on will keep your edits on restart.

Ports

Default ports exposed by this add-on:

  • 33073/tcp: Management API (HTTP/gRPC)
  • 10000/tcp: Signal gRPC
  • 8080/tcp: Dashboard
  • 3478/udp: Coturn STUN/TURN

If you have legacy (< v0.29) clients, review the legacy port notes in the NetBird self-hosted guide and ensure your firewall/forwarding rules are compatible.

Notes

  • This add-on does not handle TLS certificates. Place it behind your existing reverse proxy if you need HTTPS.
  • Coturn requires a UDP relay port range (defaults to 49152-65535). Ensure this range is allowed in your firewall when using TURN relaying.
