Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Various embedded systems, including QNAP NASes, DD-WRT, Asus NASes, Synology and more, could be supported in a single channel by adding Netbird an Entware opkg. The Netbird installer will install Netbird on a QNAP TS-233, but it installs to the RAM disk that does not persist between reboots.

Describe the solution you'd like
Release an opkg, perhaps in coordination with the Entware project so it'd be in the main repository. I've also chimed in on a request directly with Entware: https://github.com/Entware/Entware/issues/1053

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've been trying to figure out how to create opkgs myself, but if it were part of the official Netbird build system, that would be superior, allowing easy updates as soon as a new release came out.

There is a OpenWRT package (e.g https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.0/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/), maybe that works on Entware?
