Prerequisites
- Ensure the
netbirdbinary is installed on the laptop or PC intended for use as a remote client. - You will need to generate a Setup Key from the NetBird Dashboard.
Configure the Remote host
Install NetBird binary
The official NetBird installation puts the binary in /usr/bin/netbird. Because /usr/bin is read-only, you'll need to remount it as read-write before running the curl installation script.
CODE
# transactional-update shell
transactional update# curl -fsSL https://pkgs.netbird.io/install.sh | sh
Restore the SELinux file contexts
Because SELinux is active by default on openSUSE, a relabeling of the NetBird binary is required for the systemd service to function properly.
1) Resets file security contexts to their default values:
CODE
transactional update# ls -ldZ /usr/bin/netbird
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 1001 1001 unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s0 36741304 Mar 26 17:11 /usr/bin/netbird
transactional update# restorecon -v /usr/bin/netbird
Relabeled /usr/bin/netbird from unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s0 to unconfined_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
2) Verify that the context is set to unconfined_u:object_r:bin_t:s0:
CODE
transactional update# ls -ldZ /usr/bin/netbird
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 1001 1001 unconfined_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 36741304 Mar 26 17:11 /usr/bin/netbird
3) Exist the shell and reboot:
CODE
transactional update# exit
# reboot
4) After a reboot, NetBird should start up automatically:
CODE
# systemctl status netbird
