- Engine.Start takes syncMsgMux with a deferred unlock (engine.go:445) and parks in receiveSignalEvents → WaitStreamConnected (engine.go:1762), which only wakes on
signal-stream connect or client-context cancellation.
- When signal never connects, the 30s startup timeout fires and embed.Client.Start's rollback (embed.go:281) called client.Stop() → Engine.Stop, which blocks acquiring
syncMsgMux (engine.go:318). The cancel() that would unpark Start was deferred until Start returned — permanent cycle. RemovePeer calls (g43/g385) then queue behind the
lifecycle mutex.
- Notably, embed.Client.Stop and the daemon's cleanupConnection both cancel before stopping — the startup rollback was the only path that didn't.

* [management] Add version gate to stop sending deprecated RemotePeers field
don't send top-level remote peers on peers in the v0.29.3 or newer
* precompute deprecated remote peers version constraint
* [management] update tests to validate network map-based remote peers
* [management] move deprecatedRemotePeersVersion constant closer to its usage
* fix misplaced precomputed constraint definition
* ensure top-level RemotePeers is empty for v0.29.3+ clients
* [client] Preserve posture checks on config-only sync updates
When management sends a MessageTypeControlConfig update (e.g. relay token
rotation), the SyncResponse carries no NetworkMap and no Checks. Moving the
updateChecksIfNew call after the nm == nil guard ensures posture checks are
only updated when a full network map is present, preventing relay token
rotation from silently clearing the previously applied posture check state.
* [client] Clarify posture check update logic with explicit comment
* [client] Extract NetBird config and sync persistence into helpers
Move the NetbirdConfig handling block out of handleSync into
updateNetbirdConfig and the sync response persistence into
persistSyncResponse, mirroring updateChecksIfNew. This flattens
handleSync and makes the individual update steps unit-testable.
* Made the docker check first for getting-started.sh, better atomic support for install.sh
* Check for docker socket perms
* Added fallback for systems without rpm-ostree or bootc.
* macOS fix for docker socket check
* Change error message for docker group.
No longer using a blanket recommendation for the docker group.
private services on a custom domain didn't resolve on clients — the synthesized DNS zone was anchored to the cluster, and the account's custom domains weren't even
loaded.
- account.go — SynthesizePrivateServiceZones now keys zones by a resolved apex (privateServiceDomainZone): cluster suffix → registered account.Domains (filtered by matching
TargetCluster, longest wins) → skip if none. One zone per apex; custom-domain services group under their registered domain.
- sql_store.go — GetAccount now loads account.Domains on both loaders (gorm Preload("Domains") + pgx goroutine via ListCustomDomains; errChan buffer bumped 12→16). This was
the reason the deploy didn't work — the relation was empty in prod.
- Tests — custom-domain zone synthesis cases (apex resolution, free+custom separation, sibling collapse, cluster mismatch, mixed cluster/custom/public) + GetAccount
domain-preload tests on sqlite and Postgres.
* [management] Copy private field on shallowCloneMapping
added test to ensure clone handles new fields
* Remove unnecessary debug logs from proxy service
* Increase Wasm binary size limit to 60MB in build validation
* Adds heuristic to detect an edge case on Linux where a system has configured logrotate as a separate service to rotate log files which would mangle our client log files. If we detect logrotate being configured for netbird, we disable our rotation.
* Adds new env var to disable log rotation: NB_LOG_DISABLE_ROTATION
* Adds compressed and plain logrotate files to debug bundle.
* Replaces lumberjack with timberjack (maintained fork with bug fixes and extra features).
* Clarifies which daemon version is running in the bundle stats.
* Change logging for client service status to console
* [infrastructure] allow docker image overrides for getting started
Make dashboard and server image configurations overrideable via environment variables
* [infrastructure] update Traefik gRPC rule to include ProxyService PathPrefix
* make Traefik and CrowdSec images configurable via environment variables
* Persist sync response via pluggable store (disk on iOS)
The latest Management sync response (which carries the network map) was
kept in memory for debug bundle generation. On memory-constrained
platforms like iOS the network map can be large enough to matter.
Introduce a syncstore package with a Store interface and two backends:
a memory backend (the previous behavior) and a disk backend that
serializes the response to a file in the state directory. The backend
is selected per-platform at build time: disk on iOS, memory elsewhere.
The disk store clears any leftover file on construction so a fresh
store never reads stale data from an earlier run (e.g. another
profile's network map).
In the engine, drop the separate persistSyncResponse bool: the store is
only instantiated while persistence is enabled, and its presence is
what marks persistence as active. The store is also cleared on engine
close so the file does not linger on disk.
* syncstore: silence nilnil linter on "nothing stored" returns
Get returns (nil, nil) to signal that nothing is stored, which is part
of the Store contract and preserves the original behaviour. Annotate
both backends with //nolint:nilnil so golangci-lint does not flag it.
* syncstore: hold syncRespMux for the whole store Set/Get
Both handleSync and GetLatestSyncResponse snapshotted e.syncStore under
the read lock and then released it before calling Set/Get. That allowed
SetSyncResponsePersistence(false) or engine close to clear the store
mid-call. In particular a concurrent Clear()+nil followed by a late
Set could re-create the file that was just removed, defeating the
leak/lingering protection.
Hold syncRespMux for the duration of the store operation in both spots
so the store cannot be cleared while a Set/Get is in flight.
* syncstore: avoid StateDir "." when state path is empty
On mobile the state path may be empty (the engine tolerates a missing
state file). filepath.Dir("") returns ".", which would make a
disk-backed syncstore write into the working directory instead of
letting NewDiskStore fall back to os.TempDir().
Only set engineConfig.StateDir when path is non-empty.
* Refactor to use a common checker for development version
* Adds commit sha to development version for cobra command only
Leave dashboard unaffected
* Adjust for "v0.31.1-dev" test case
which must be considered pre-release
* Drop synthetic "dev"/"0.50.0-dev" firewall feature-gate fixtures
These test cases encoded the loose strings.Contains(v, "dev")
semantics inherited from peerSupportedFirewallFeatures, but
NetbirdVersion() never produces those values — only the literal
"development" (and now "development-<sha>[-dirty]") ever flows
through the wire. The agent owns the semantics of an ephemeral
development build, so the tests should exercise the strings we
actually emit.
Replaced with development, development-<sha> and
development-<sha>-dirty cases that match the HasPrefix("development")
predicate introduced upstream.
* Remove unexistent tests on wire format
The sha / dirty flag are added only when the CLI asks the version.
Account versions is unaffacted and can only strictly match "development"
* Adds tests for IsDevelopmentVersion
* fix(proxy): gate tunnel-peer fast-path on inbound listener marker
forwardWithTunnelPeer previously accepted any RFC1918 / ULA / CGNAT
source IP, so a public client whose address happened to fall in those
ranges could bypass the configured operator auth scheme by colliding
with a known tunnel IP. The fast-path is now gated on
TunnelLookupFromContext(r.Context()) being present — that context value
is attached only by the per-account inbound (overlay) listener, so the
host-facing listener never enters this branch.
Tests updated to reflect the new requirement: requests that don't
carry the inbound marker now fall through to the regular auth flow.
* fix(proxy): harden inbound listener resource + startup-ctx handling
Three correctness fixes on the per-account inbound path, with tests:
- Close the logrus ErrorLog PipeWriter on tearDown. WriterLevel hands
back an *io.PipeWriter backed by a pipe + scanner goroutine that the
caller owns; the two writers per account (https + plain) were never
closed, leaking the pipe and goroutine on every teardown.
- Run the post-Start hooks on context.Background(). runClientStartup
is launched in a goroutine from AddPeer and was inheriting the
caller's request-scoped ctx, so a cancelled request could abort the
inbound bring-up or fail the management status notification. The
tail is split into notifyClientReady so the contract is testable.
Tests cover the PipeWriter close behaviour and assert the readyHandler
+ NotifyStatus calls receive a non-cancelled background context.
* feat(proxy): short-circuit peer-own-target loops with 421
When a peer that hosts the target of a private service dials its own
service URL the request was being looped through the proxy and back
over WireGuard to the same peer — twice the WG round-trip for no
benefit, with no signal to the caller that something was wrong.
Add isSelfTargetLoop to ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP: when the request
arrived on the per-account overlay listener (IsOverlayOrigin) and the
source tunnel IP matches the target host, refuse the request with 421
Misdirected Request and a body pointing the operator at the backend
directly.
The gate is scoped to overlay origin so requests on the public
listener that happen to share a source IP with the target host are
forwarded normally.
* fix(management): private-service validation + tunnel-IP lookup semantics
- Require an explicit port for L4 cluster targets. validateL4Target
exempted TargetTypeCluster from the port check, but buildPathMappings
serializes every L4 target via net.JoinHostPort(host, port) — port=0
shipped a ":0" upstream. Cluster targets use the same Host/Port
fields, so the same requirement applies.
- GetPeerByIP returns NotFound on a tunnel-IP miss instead of mapping
every error to Internal. The proxy's ValidateTunnelPeer probes IPs
that legitimately aren't in the roster; the miss is expected and now
distinguishable from a real store failure.
- Thread ctx into getClusterCapability's gorm query so a cancelled
request doesn't keep the store busy.
Tests updated for the L4-cluster port requirement and the GetPeerByIP
NotFound path.
* fix(client): include offlinePeers in PeerStateByIP lookup
ReplaceOfflinePeers moves peers into d.offlinePeers but PeerStateByIP
only scanned d.peers. Callers (the local DNS filter via
localPeerConnectivity, embed.Client.IdentityForIP used by the
proxy's tunnel-peer validator) were treating known-but-offline peers
as unknown, which:
- causes the DNS filter to keep returning records pointing at peers
that have no live tunnel, AND
- makes the proxy's local-roster check deny a request from such a
peer rather than letting the cached management RPC carry the
authorisation decision.
Search both slices in PeerStateByIP. Adds a unit test for the IPv4
and IPv6 offline-match paths.
* fix(rest): reject empty Delete path params in reverse-proxy clients
ReverseProxyClustersAPI.Delete and ReverseProxyTokensAPI.Delete passed
the path parameter into url.PathEscape without an empty check.
PathEscape("") returns "" which collapses the request onto the
collection endpoint ("/api/reverse-proxies/clusters/" /
"/api/reverse-proxies/proxy-tokens/"), so a caller bug delete with no
id reached a routable URL with surprising semantics (typically 405).
Short-circuit with a typed error before the request is built. Tests
mount a handler on the collection path that fails the test if hit, so
the regression is impossible to reintroduce silently.
* chore(api,ci,docs,test): private-service schema, proto-check, fixups
Non-functional cleanups and contract/CI hardening around the
private-service work:
API schema (openapi.yml):
- Require a non-empty access_groups and mode=http when private=true,
on both Service and ServiceRequest, mirroring
validatePrivateRequirements. mode stays optional-but-constrained
(empty defaults to http server-side), matching runtime.
CI (proto-version-check.yml):
- Cover renamed .pb.go files (read base via previous_filename).
- Match protoc-gen-go-grpc version headers (optional "- " prefix and
-gen-go-grpc suffix) so grpc-generated files are in scope.
Docs / comments:
- Reword Config field docs to say defaults are applied at Server.Start
(initDefaults), not New.
- Rename the obsolete --private-inbound flag to --private across
comments and the proto doc.
Pre-existing test fixups surfaced by review:
- Repair the integration-tagged validate_session_test.go (SignToken
signature growth + new Manager interface methods).
- Fix the CI-skip boolean precedence so Windows isn't skipped
unconditionally.
- Guard the router.HTTPListener type assertion with comma-ok.
* fix(proxy): background ctx for already-started AddPeer notification
The earlier ctx fix covered the async runClientStartup path but missed
the synchronous branch: when a service is added to an already-started
client, AddPeer called NotifyStatus with the caller's request-scoped
ctx. A cancelled request/stream could drop the connected notification
to management. Use context.Background() here too, matching
notifyClientReady.
Extends TestNetBird_AddPeer_ExistingStartedClient_NotifiesStatus to
pass a pre-cancelled caller ctx and assert the notification still ran
on a non-cancelled context.
* use the cmd context for roundtripper
* Pin actions with SHA, replace unmaintained, add dependabot for actions
* Update FreeBSD to version 15 for tests
* Use shared actions
* Update sign-pipelines version
* add SSO session extend flow (management)
Adds the management-server half of the SSO session-extension feature:
- New ExtendAuthSession gRPC RPC that refreshes a peer's session expiry
using a fresh JWT, validated through the same pipeline as Login but
without tearing down the tunnel or redoing the NetworkMap sync.
- Per-peer SessionExpiresAt timestamp on every LoginResponse and
SyncResponse so connected clients learn the deadline on the existing
long-lived stream, and admin-side changes (toggling expiration,
changing the expiration window) reach every peer within seconds.
- SessionExpiresAt(...) helper on Peer that derives the absolute UTC
deadline from LastLogin + the account-level PeerLoginExpiration
setting, returning zero when the peer is not SSO-tracked or expiration
is disabled.
The matching client-side consumer of these fields lands separately.
* encode SessionExpiresAt as 3-state on the wire
Previously the `sessionExpiresAt` field on LoginResponse, SyncResponse
and ExtendAuthSessionResponse was 2-state: a valid timestamp meant
"new deadline", and nil meant "clear". That conflated two distinct
meanings — "no info in this snapshot" vs "expiry is explicitly off /
peer is not SSO-tracked" — so a Sync push that legitimately couldn't
compute the deadline (settings lookup failed) would silently clear the
client's anchor and lose the warning window.
Three states now, encoded on the same field number (no .proto schema
churn — only comments and the server-side encoder change):
- nil pointer (field absent) → "no info"; client preserves anchor
- &Timestamp{} (seconds=0, nanos=0) → explicit "disabled / not SSO"
sentinel; client clears
- valid timestamp → new absolute UTC deadline
A new encodeSessionExpiresAt helper centralises the zero/non-zero
encoding and is shared by the Sync, Login and ExtendAuthSession
builders. The Sync builder still emits nil when settings are missing.
Login and ExtendAuthSession always carry an authoritative value.
The matching client-side decoder lands on feature/session-extend.
* add UserExtendedPeerSession activity event
ExtendAuthSession previously reused UserLoggedInPeer for its audit
record, which conflated two distinct user actions: a full interactive
SSO login (tunnel re-established, network map resync) versus an
in-place deadline refresh (tunnel untouched). Auditors reading the log
couldn't tell which one happened, and downstream dashboards/alerts on
"login" volume were polluted by routine extends.
Adds a dedicated UserExtendedPeerSession Activity (code 125,
"user.peer.session.extend") and switches ExtendPeerSession over to it.
The peer-extend audit trail is now distinguishable from interactive
logins.
* make ExtendAuthSession JWT-retry backoff cancellable
Skip the retry log and 200ms wait on the final attempt, and replace the
uncancellable time.Sleep with a select on time.After/ctx.Done so an
upstream cancellation aborts the wait instead of running it to
completion.

Adds a new "private" service mode for the reverse proxy: services reachable exclusively over the embedded WireGuard tunnel, gated by per-peer group membership instead of operator auth schemes.
Wire contract
- ProxyMapping.private (field 13): the proxy MUST call ValidateTunnelPeer and fail closed; operator schemes are bypassed.
- ProxyCapabilities.private (4) + supports_private_service (5): capability gate. Management never streams private mappings to proxies that don't claim the capability; the broadcast path applies the same filter via filterMappingsForProxy.
- ValidateTunnelPeer RPC: resolves an inbound tunnel IP to a peer, checks the peer's groups against service.AccessGroups, and mints a session JWT on success. checkPeerGroupAccess fails closed when a private service has empty AccessGroups.
- ValidateSession/ValidateTunnelPeer responses now carry peer_group_ids + peer_group_names so the proxy can authorise policy-aware middlewares without an extra management round-trip.
- ProxyInboundListener + SendStatusUpdate.inbound_listener: per-account inbound listener state surfaced to dashboards.
- PathTargetOptions.direct_upstream (11): bypass the embedded NetBird client and dial the target via the proxy host's network stack for upstreams reachable without WireGuard.
Data model
- Service.Private (bool) + Service.AccessGroups ([]string, JSON- serialised). Validate() rejects bearer auth on private services. Copy() deep-copies AccessGroups. pgx getServices loads the columns.
- DomainConfig.Private threaded into the proxy auth middleware. Request handler routes private services through forwardWithTunnelPeer and returns 403 on validation failure.
- Account-level SynthesizePrivateServiceZones (synthetic DNS) and injectPrivateServicePolicies (synthetic ACL) gate on len(svc.AccessGroups) > 0.
Proxy
- /netbird proxy --private (embedded mode) flag; Config.Private in proxy/lifecycle.go.
- Per-account inbound listener (proxy/inbound.go) binding HTTP/HTTPS on the embedded NetBird client's WireGuard tunnel netstack.
- proxy/internal/auth/tunnel_cache: ValidateTunnelPeer response cache with single-flight de-duplication and per-account eviction.
- Local peerstore short-circuit: when the inbound IP isn't in the account roster, deny fast without an RPC.
- proxy/server.go reports SupportsPrivateService=true and redacts the full ProxyMapping JSON from info logs (auth_token + header-auth hashed values now only at debug level).
Identity forwarding
- ValidateSessionJWT returns user_id, email, method, groups, group_names. sessionkey.Claims carries Email + Groups + GroupNames so the proxy can stamp identity onto upstream requests without an extra management round-trip on every cookie-bearing request.
- CapturedData carries userEmail / userGroups / userGroupNames; the proxy stamps X-NetBird-User and X-NetBird-Groups on r.Out from the authenticated identity (strips client-supplied values first to prevent spoofing).
- AccessLog.UserGroups: access-log enrichment captures the user's group memberships at write time so the dashboard can render group context without reverse-resolving stale memberships.
OpenAPI/dashboard surface
- ReverseProxyService gains private + access_groups; ReverseProxyCluster gains private + supports_private. ReverseProxyTarget target_type enum gains "cluster". ServiceTargetOptions gains direct_upstream. ProxyAccessLog gains user_groups.
