Quote the rollback path in the recovery command.
When BACKUP_DIR contains spaces, line 201 prints a command that Bash parses as multiple arguments. Use printf ' bash %q\n' "$BACKUP_DIR/rollback.sh".

Describe your changes
A few fixes for the self-hosted install scripts:
getting-started.sh,getting-started-enterprise.sh, andmigrate.sh. All of this came out of reviewing the host-gateway hairpin NAT proposal in netbirdio/docs#626. Nothing is broken today, these prevent potential issues.1.
NETBIRD_DOCKER_SUBNEToverride. The compose network subnet was hardcoded to172.30.0.0/24, so if you already had something on that range you were stuck. It's overridable now, validated as a unicast IPv4 /24 before any prompts run.0/8,127/8,169.254/16and224+get rejected, and so does100.64/10. That last one is worth explaining: NetBird hands out overlay peer addresses from100.64/10by default, so a Docker bridge sitting there shadows the overlay without any Docker network actually overlapping. The conflict check below can't catch that, so the validator has to.Traefik's static IP (
.10) and the gateway (.1) are derived from whatever subnet you pick, which keeps everything depending on that address in step. What that covers differs per script:getting-started.sh: the composesubnetandgateway, Traefik'sipv4_address, thereverseProxy.trustedHTTPProxies/32pin inconfig.yaml, andNB_PROXY_TRUSTED_PROXIESinproxy.env.getting-started-enterprise.sh: the same, plusreverseProxy.trustedPeers, passed into compose asNETBIRD_NETWORK_SUBNETandNETBIRD_NETWORK_GATEWAYin.env.migrate.sh: only the composesubnet/gatewayand Traefik'sipv4_address.The pins stay
/32, I didn't widen anything.2. Fail-fast Docker network conflict check. Before writing any files, the scripts look at the existing Docker networks and bail with an actionable error if one overlaps the subnet they're about to use. That beats letting
docker compose upfall over later withPool overlaps with other one on this address space. Existing networks never get touched, and the error points at the override rather than suggesting you remove somebody else's network. Host routes like LANs and VPNs aren't inspected on purpose, since the override handles those without me parsing route tables.The deployment's own network gets skipped by name so re-runs keep working, and if a leftover own network is sitting on a different subnet the script fails early there too, because compose would quietly reuse it and the generated config wouldn't match. Getting that name right is the fiddly part:
name: netbirdin the compose file, so it's fixed.<project>_netbirdand the project name has to be derived the way Compose derives it. I checked this against Compose v5.4.0 rather than guessing. It takes the basename of the logical working directory, lowercases it, deletes every character outside[a-z0-9_-], then trims leading_and-. Sonb.testbecomesnbtest,my nbbecomesmynb, andNetBird-1.0becomesnetbird-10. Characters get deleted, not swapped for a-.migrate.sh, which runscd "$INSTALL_DIR" && compose up. A logicalcdmeans compose sees the symlink name, so the project name is resolved with a plainpwd. Usingpwd -Presolves the symlink target instead, and then the script flags its own network as a foreign conflict and aborts every re-run under a symlinked install dir.3. Enterprise Docker network alias for the public domain. In the enterprise stack
netbird-serverdials the public domain over HTTPS to deliver traffic flow, and on a host behind NAT that hairpin can fail. The alias resolves the domain to Traefik from inside the compose network, which costs nothing and keeps the request on the box. The community script deliberately doesn't get it: with the proxy enabled its embedded agent learnsstun:<domain>:3478/udpfrom management, and an alias is port-agnostic, so it would steer that UDP at Traefik and quietly degrade P2P proxy connections to relay-only.4. Community domain validation.
check_nb_domainnow limits the domain to letters, digits, dots and hyphens, rejects a leading or trailing dot or hyphen, rejects consecutive dots, and caps length at 253 characters. The domain gets embedded in generated YAML and env files, so this is a character-class restriction, not FQDN validation. It's also not parity with the enterprise script, which rejects bare IPs and requires a resolvable FQDN. The community script still accepts IPs and theuse-ipsentinel on purpose.Testing done
I ran a live install on a clean host. Ubuntu 26.04, Docker 29.7.2, Compose v5.4.0, one vCPU, with a domain.
Fresh install with built-in Traefik, proxy on, CrowdSec off:
restarts=0, and zero CrowdSec references in the rendered compose.ssl_verify_result=0,/api/usersreturns 401 unauthenticated which confirms routing through Traefik, and HTTP 301s to HTTPS.With
NETBIRD_DOCKER_SUBNET=10.123.45.0/24the compose subnet and gateway, Traefik'sipv4_address, theconfig.yamlpin andNB_PROXY_TRUSTED_PROXIESall moved together, the running container's actual IP matched the pin, and no172.30reference was left anywhere in the generated files.I hit all four branches of the conflict check. A foreign overlapping network aborts before anything is written and leaves the existing network and running stack alone. An own network on a mismatched subnet aborts with the leftover error and a
docker network rmhint. An own network on a matching subnet gets skipped correctly and the run continues to the existing-install guard. No Docker networks at all returns early.I ran the mismatch case from a directory called
nb.test3specifically to exercise the project-name normalization. The script worked outnbtest3_netbirdand hit the own-network branch instead of the overlap branch, which only happens if the normalization matches Compose.On the validator,
100.64.5.0/24is rejected with the documented message and writes nothing,100.63.255.0/24and100.128.0.0/24are accepted, and172.30.0.0/16,172.30.0.1/24,10.0.0.0/25,010.1.1.0/24,256.1.1.0/24and the reserved ranges are all rejected.Unit level, on Linux-style bash and macOS bash 3.2:
