As I’m prepping my self-hosted setup I wanted to know the community’s thoughts on Netbird, the FOSS and completely self hosted alternative to Tailscale. I often hear Tailscale used as a super easy plug and play way to share your home server contents with other people, so how does Netbird fair in comparison? Is it as easy? Is it a more buggy experience, more complicated, or does it just work? Any pros and cons, or niche edge case situations I should know about? Thanks in advance!
I don’t know anything about Netbird, but I’ll link you to my ZeroTier pitch the last time I noticed someone talking about Tailscale: https://lemmy.world/comment/1058287.

This seems like a good middleground, I might use it if my stubborn attempt to use Netbird doesn’t work. Thanks!
