To find the version fo your current Netbird Management instance, all you need to do is run docker ps get the name for the container likely netbird-management-1 then exec this command int he container docker exec -it netbird-management-1 /go/bin/netbird-mgmt --version. Response should be something like netbird-mgmt version 0.35.1

Thank you. I was aware of how to get the information via the command line. I wanted to see this information in the management dashboard i.e. as a line in the footer to see this without connecting via SSH to the server.

Happy New Year.

This would be nice, and I would like to add that it would be interesting to also have this information via the REST API, maybe a management healthcheck endpoint with data regarding all NetBird components versions?

My usecase is that I have remote scheduled task running every hour monitoring all the data the REST API provides and consuming it in custom dashboards. I wanted to make a pass/fail graph where I can easily check the % of peers that are up-to-date in comparison to the NetBird server, but this is not currently possible strictly via the REST API as the management version information is currently missing on it.

The version of all peers are available, but there is no server version. It must be in the admin web UI: footage, Settings > About or anywhere else the UI designer decides.

In the docs it says it displays at the bottom left and the docs also show a screenshot.
But that is not the case.

It is there, but you need to update your management server to at least the version where it was introduced.
