Describe the problem

When we set the NB_ACTIVITY_EVENT_STORE_ENGINE and NB_ACTIVITY_EVENT_POSTGRES_DSN environment variables in setup.env, these environment variables are not being set on the management container. This makes the Activity Events DB continue to use the sqlite engine. I believe the docker-compose.yml.tmpl should be updated with the two new environment variables in PR 3890 to enable Postgres.

Manually adding the missing environment variables to the management container in the docker-compose.yml file (generate from configure.sh) and restarting the container will cause it to switch to the postgres engine.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Git clone https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird.git
  2. cd netbird/infrastructure_files
  3. echo 'NB_ACTIVITY_EVENT_STORE_ENGINE=postgres' > setup.env
  4. echo 'NB_ACTIVITY_EVENT_POSTGRES_DSN="host=redacted user=redacted password=redacted dbname=redacted port=redacted' >> setup.env
  5. configure.sh

Expected behavior

I expect the NB_ACTIVITY_EVENT_STORE_ENGINE and NB_ACTIVITY_EVENT_POSTGRES_DSN environment variables to be present on the management container.

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

Self-hosted

NetBird version

0.57.1

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
