Originally created by @2Belette on GitHub (Sep 28, 2025).

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Docker is not something really supported on FreeBSD, it would be nice to have a bare metal alternative or a port option for the server/management side.

Describe the solution you'd like
Not relaying on Docker and having an advanced installation method/guide, but I am not sure this is a viable method if multiple Docker containers are needed like micro services... Ideally having a port (from FreeBSD package manager).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Is there some existing scripts or method to install the components by hand ? Or is there anyone who already have successfully been installed it on FreeBSD?

@1nerdyguy commented on GitHub (Sep 28, 2025):

I'm not sure this would be worth the dev effort.

There are multiple parts of Netbird, including management, API, coturn, relay, proxy, DB, etc. These are all currently containerized. Going to a monolithic install seems a step backwards, even more so when FreeBSD is sadly a niche target.

@2Belette are you asking if NetBird is available for FreeBSD? The source for it is already available as a FreeBSD port. NetBirdIO has a pfsense repository where you can grab the source and just make the package yourself as well.

@PowershellScripter thanks yes I saw that but my issue is refering to the server side to run the management server not as a client

That's an issue, since Docker isn't well supported on FreeBSD. I'd just spin up a Linux VM in BHYVE if that's a need.

Yes, thanks that's what I was supposed to do but it is a lot of virtualization layers 😊 I will try it anyway as I am very curious to test Netbird
