I'm not getting any log files in /var/log/netbird after deleting /etc/netbird/main.json, enabling the service, and doing netbird up.
Additionally, netbird up --log-file console does not print any output.
Can you please confirm these (2) both work for you?
edit: delayed because:
I intentionally avoided doing that because there was talk of Netbird possibly being accepted into official repositories, which would likely require users to chuck their setups and reconfigure.
Since nothing came of it, we might as well migrate to upstream configs. I'll update the package in the next couple of days.
Hello,
1) Would it be possible for you to track/synchronize with the upstream systemd file, while making changes in drop-in files? Might ease the sync/development effort 2) I have noticed some envvars missing, that prevents us from gathering logs for a debug bundle. If above isn't possible could you adjust those on your side? https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/pull/4124/files
I mostly copied the message from here without really thinking about it, so don't read too much into it.
The goal was to get rid of 70+ slightly different gitignores, there's now just one gitignore that serves all packages (which are managed with aurpublish).
Your latest commit removes the .gitignore file with reference to the Arch packaging guidelines (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines). But I can't find a single mention of the .gitignore file.
On the contrary, the AUR submission guidelines (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines) explicitly mention at the end of section 1.4 that you can use .gitignore if you need to.
That's excellent news, thanks.
The files have been merged with minor modifications and should be shipped with the next release.

I'd like to put this into [extra]. However, ideally we could upstream the .service files. Could you try to upstream them?
In PKGBUILD line 62 you add an empty config directory to the package, which is kicked out again by line 15 options=('!emptydirs') ;)
As this got renamed back in July, shouldn't this either be merged into netbird or deleted from aurweb? :)

Hi @tarball, I'm from the NetBird team.
This socket path mismatch has been fixed upstream. The CLI, UI, and SSH client now auto-discover the daemon socket when the default /var/run/netbird.sock doesn't exist - they scan /var/run/netbird/*.sock and use it if exactly one is found. So netbird@main.service will work out of the box without needing --daemon-addr or NB_DAEMON_ADDR.
The fix is in https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/commit/ef82905526a5944e9aac96e04b8b7ee67d27c9b9. It's included as of v0.66.
