Describe the problem

when I self-host the new simple netbird with pocketid, the dashboard can't load avatar.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. self-host the new simple netbird by the getting-start script
  2. login dashboard
  3. add pocketid idp in dashboard
  4. logout and login by pocketid
  5. check the avatar in dashboard but it can't show the avatar in my pocketid

Expected behavior

I expect that the dashboard can show my avatar in my pocketid

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

self-host netbird

NetBird version

Management v0.65.1
Dashboard v2.32.1

Is any other VPN software installed?

No

Debug output

To help us resolve the problem, please attach the following anonymized status output

netbird status -dA

#  netbird status -dA
Daemon status: NeedsLogin

Run UP command to log in with SSO (interactive login):

 netbird up

If you are running a self-hosted version and no SSO provider has been configured in your Management Server,
you can use a setup-key:

 netbird up --management-url <YOUR_MANAGEMENT_URL> --setup-key <YOUR_SETUP_KEY>

Create and upload a debug bundle, and share the returned file key:

netbird debug for 1m -AS -U

Uploaded files are automatically deleted after 30 days.

Alternatively, create the file only and attach it here manually:

netbird debug for 1m -AS

Ran into this, as well. Are avatars supposed to be working? Is that something NetBird supports? I haven't found a way to manually change a user's avatar.

Set gravatar url as 'picture' in profile scope in Authentik. Only 'letter' is displayed.
