Figured I’d give Netbird a go, glad I did because I can self host extremely easily by using the new services feature.
You specify a subdomain, point to a peer, specify a protocol and port, and you are good. NetBird fetches you the certificate and your site goes live fast.
I can use my Immich with my mobile data now.
Edit: Note that I choose to self host NetBird, and haven’t really used the service they provide all that much.
just curious, why move away from tailscale?
Because the main reason I’m self-hosting is to have control over my data. This includes a lot of metadata about my infra/services/devices which Tailscale is uploading all the time to their servers. Besides that, they’re on the Enshitification road, which made me to search for 100% self-hosted alternatives. And yes, I’m going for EU based companies when it’s a viable option.
