Some Screenshots

Technologies Used

• NextJS
• ReactJS
• Tailwind CSS
• Auth0
• Nginx
• Docker
• Let's Encrypt

How to run

Disclaimer. We believe that proper user management system is not a trivial task and requires quite some effort to make it right. Therefore we decided to use Auth0 service that covers all our needs (user management, social login, JTW for the management API). Auth0 so far is the only 3rd party dependency that can't be really self-hosted.

1. Install Docker

2. Register Auth0 account

3. Running NetBird UI Dashboard requires the following Auth0 environmental variables to be set (see docker command below):

   AUTH0_DOMAIN AUTH0_CLIENT_ID AUTH0_AUDIENCE

   To obtain these, please use Auth0 React SDK Guide up until "Configure Allowed Web Origins"

4. NetBird UI Dashboard uses NetBirds Management Service HTTP API, so setting NETBIRD_MGMT_API_ENDPOINT is required. Most likely it will be http://localhost:33071 if you are hosting Management API on the same server.

5. Run docker container without SSL (Let's Encrypt):

   docker run -d --name netbird-dashboard \
     --rm -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
     -e AUTH0_DOMAIN=<SET YOUR AUTH DOMAIN> \
     -e AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=<SET YOUR CLIENT ID> \
     -e AUTH0_AUDIENCE=<SET YOUR AUDIENCE> \
     -e NETBIRD_MGMT_API_ENDPOINT=<SET YOUR MANAGEMETN API URL> \
     netbirdio/dashboard:main
   

6. Run docker container with SSL (Let's Encrypt):

   docker run -d --name netbird-dashboard \
     --rm -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
     -e NGINX_SSL_PORT=443 \
     -e LETSENCRYPT_DOMAIN=<YOUR PUBLIC DOMAIN> \
     -e LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=<YOUR EMAIL> \
     -e AUTH0_DOMAIN=<SET YOUR AUTH DOMAIN> \
     -e AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=<SET YOUR CLEITN ID> \
     -e AUTH0_AUDIENCE=<SET YOUR AUDIENCE> \
     -e NETBIRD_MGMT_API_ENDPOINT=<SET YOUR MANAGEMETN API URL> \
     netbirdio/dashboard:main
   

How to run local development

1. Install Node
2. Create and update the .local-config.json file. This file should contain values to be replaced from config.json
3. Run npm install to install dependencies
4. Run npm run dev to start the development server

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing by modifying the code inside src/..
The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
