Describe the problem

On Netbird OpenWRT, when editing the resources on the routing peers, the network map on the peer does not update after hitting save on the dashboard. Restarting the Netbird process will trigger the update, but every time I add or modify a resource on that routing peer, I have to restart the process in order to update the network map. However, editing the Nameservers will trigger on both the DNS server and the network map update on the routing peer.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Networks'
  2. Edit 'Resources'
  3. Update or add resource
  4. Netbird on the routing peer does not update the network map; it needs a restart to update

Expected behavior

The network map on the routing peer is updated when a resource has been added or modified on that network

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

self-host NetBird's control plane.

NetBird version

0.66.2 on OpenWRT 25.12.1

Is any other VPN software installed?

No

Hey, I can confirm #5813 has the same problem. FYI, setting the Nameserver will trigger the Network Map update, but assigning/modifying resources will not. I would also like to mention that on Netbird's dashboard, there is always an update notification for my devices that run OpenWRT, but Netbird on OpenWRT's repository does not seem to sync with GitHub releases.
