We're having our Halo LAN party but Victoria Slocum is ripping us apart.
I alt tabbed into NetBird ACCESS CONTROL and pulled her out of the group. A few seconds later she's asking if her internet died. I checked the network map and her peer wasn't in the list anymore.

NetBird is on the most installed list in Community Scripts.
4,093 installs in the last 30 days 🥳
Community Scripts is a community-run library of install scripts for Proxmox VE and Incus. Our neighbors include Docker, Immich, Pi-hole, Home Assistant OS and WireGuard 🧡
To try it, run this in your Proxmox VE or Incus host shell:
𝚋𝚊𝚜𝚑 -𝚌 "$(𝚌𝚞𝚛𝚕 -𝚏𝚜𝚂𝙻 𝚑𝚝𝚝𝚙𝚜://𝚛𝚊𝚠.𝚐𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚞𝚋𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚝.𝚌𝚘𝚖/𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚢-𝚜𝚌𝚛𝚒𝚙𝚝𝚜/𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚡𝚖𝚘𝚡𝚅𝙴/𝚖𝚊𝚒𝚗/𝚌𝚝/𝚗𝚎𝚝𝚋𝚒𝚛𝚍.𝚜𝚑)"
It installs the NetBird client in a small Debian 13 container (1 CPU, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB disk), on x86-64 or ARM64. Join it to your network with a setup key or SSO, then check it with 𝚗𝚎𝚝𝚋𝚒𝚛𝚍 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚞𝚜.

Put together my first video with @get_artcraft and this is nothing short of impressive. Adobe Premiere Pro compatibility written from the ground up in Rust. The suite giving full Adobe and Microsoft alternatives running on Linux. wild
To add to this, I put together a template anyone can use to setup NetBird! I'm already using it with @bot to bypass some IMAP restrictions. x.ai/bot/VzRbIFRLFoIcIfsIAxN…

Did you know you can fully self-host @supabase? 🚀
One command gets you Postgres, auth, S3-compatible storage, realtime, edge functions, and Studio running on your own infrastructure.
Pair it with NetBird for secure remote access to all of it, no open ports.
Watch the setup 👇
I still prefer paper books, but having my collection organized in one place is pretty nice.
I've been trying BookOrbit, a self-hosted library for ebooks, PDFs, comics, and audiobooks. Here's my setup:

One week at @netbird and this open source community is unreal.

Your first home server doesn’t need to be complicated.
Pick the hardware. Pick the OS. Install a few apps. Start hosting your own stuff.
NetBird just published a solid beginner guide — and ZimaBoard 2 + ZimaOS are in it. 👀
Maybe this is your sign to finally build one.
