Netbird - we added a REVERSE PROXY! - Open Source Cloudflare Alternative

If you ever wanted an alternative to:

  • ngrok
  • Cloudflare tunnels
  • Pangolin (too apparently? never used that one myself)

Netbird shipped such a feature in their latest release

With possibility of having SSO + having a simple GUI àla nginx-proxy-manager.
This will make me reconsider some of my own split all over tools in favor of just having 1 simple working one (while being less memory hungry :hamburger:).

They released DNS zones few weeks ago too skipping the need to reach out to an external endpoint for a loopback and keeping all of it locally self-hosted!

Glad to see that not everything is going to :poop: and some people do still care about doing nice things, the right way! Felt like sharing positive vibes today~ :sparkles:


And if you’re still not super hardcore on self-hosting and using Tailscale, I guess it could be a slow progressive migration starting from their Cloud solution too.
Haha, we’ll hopefully have people more excited[1] of trying self-hosting their own stuff in a nearby future. :light_blue_heart:


  1. or at least, less scared :hugs: ↩︎
