Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are plugin options on Unraid for the likes of Tailscale. E.g., https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/security/tailscale/

Describe the solution you'd like
A plugin for NetBird on Unraid to efficiently and intuitively configure specific Docker containers for use with NetBird. Each container appears as a machine/peer in Tailscale, would be great to have that for NetBird, likewise setting up exit node routing akin to Tailscale via it would be cool.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Raw WireGuard support, but NetBird devs don't feel this amount of work makes sense, and I agree versus a plugin.

Additional context
Being able to get access to an Unraid server even if the Docker daemon crashes would be wonderful. Likewise, the Docker container can only run when the array is spun up, so if you reboot the server or stop the array, you lose your connection to the NetBird client running in a Docker container.

An official NetBird Docker template in Community Apps on Unraid would also really spur adoption of NetBird, IMO, but that's a separate matter.

Hopefully this will happen eventually. I would really like to try netbird easily on unraid.
