Firezone looked like the most versatile and user-friendly of the bunch when I looked into this:

@DanTheMan thanks for the great writeup. I think it deserves a totally different post of it's own for the sake of keeping comments. So, I have moved it to https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/11158/netbird-installation-and-my-experience .

@DanTheMan thanks for your amazing post.
I do not understand a thing. Is there a way to use Netbird on a cloudron app ?

Coming from Zerotier _ I any really digging Netbird - Super easy setup and now have "networks" which we had on Zerotier. Running on their host now, but would love to have our own server on Cloudron. This is much more powerful than the basic wireguard in the VPN app. Please?

@stevespaw Agreed!

OK now is the time - support for multiple OIDC-compatible identity providers simultaneously.
@girish and team - This would be great!
https://netbird.io/knowledge-hub/local-users-simplified-idp
Built-in user management - Create users directly from the Dashboard using the embedded Dex server—no external IdP required. Secure by default with bcrypt-hashed passwords and AES-256-GCM encryption
Simplified deployment - Reduced from 7+ containers down to just 5. No separate database for the IdP, no extra containers to maintain. The quickstart script handles everything automatically—from container deployment to reverse proxy configuration
Interactive setup wizard - When you first access the Dashboard, a setup wizard guides you through creating your admin account. That's it—you're done
Easy external IdP integration - Connect multiple SSO providers simultaneously (Google, Microsoft, Okta, Keycloak, etc.) directly from the Dashboard. No config files to edit, no service restarts. Optional JWT group sync automatically provisions groups from your IdP -

I also like Netbird, I have a server running on a non-Cloudron VPS, connecting devices to each other when needed, and making an in-house box available to selected people in external organisations.
"Netbird on Cloudron" can mean :
- use an app on Cloudron to act as 'server'
- install the Netbird client at Cloudron VPS command line (not an app - outside of Cloudron platform), so Cloudron box is on the Netbird network, but no Cloudron app needed. I'd tend towards this if it viable, but my network routing knowledge is poor.
Are peeps here thinking about it a different way ?
