Describe the problem

NetBird in docker (netbirdio/netbird:latest) on QNAP Container Station keeps loosing the connection with the management service.

NetBird version 0.55.1 (also seen in 0.55.0)
QNAP QTS version: 5.2.6.3195
Container Station version: 3.0.9.1038

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Created a docker container with this compose.yaml:
version: '3.8'

services:
netbird:
image: netbirdio/netbird:latest
container_name: netbird
hostname: myhostname
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
- SYS_ADMIN
- SYS_RESOURCE
environment:
- NB_FOREGROUND_MODE=true
- NB_SETUP_KEY=******
volumes:
- netbird-client:/var/lib/netbird
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: "host"
privileged: true

volumes:
netbird-client:

Server is registered in management console
Connection is initially created
Then drops and reconnects periodically (several times a minute?) causing the server to be unreachable.

Issue #4381 seems similar but was resolved by restarting. Restarting or recreating the containers does not solve my problem.

Expected behavior

A stable connection

Have you tried these troubleshooting steps?

  • Reviewed client troubleshooting (if applicable)
  • Checked for newer NetBird versions
  • Searched for similar issues on GitHub (including closed ones)
  • Restarted the NetBird client
  • Disabled other VPN software
  • Checked firewall settings
  • Recreated the docker container from scratch.
