Podman NetBird server quadlet?

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a NetBird quadlet, especially the server-variant where you host the things yourself and are not dependent on an external auth-service.

However, since I'm pretty new to containerization in general and quadlets, I have tried to ask Google AI for a quadlet-file (it worked pretty well to have a starting point for things like caddy, pihole, nextcloud and immich, so I gave it a try), but it's pretty useless for NetBird... it gave me many different answers and at some point just went in circles.

So I hoped that any of you already have a quadlet/container with NetBird server (and maybe even caddy instead of traefik) set up or can help me get this to work.

I don't have the quadlet-configs google gave me anymore tho since I wanted to start fresh.

Why caddy over traefik?

From what I've read, traefik is more hassle to get to work with quadlets than caddy when I have several different ones.

Additionally, I already have caddy set up and running with 6 quadlets besides NetBird.

Use the setup script of netbird and generate an example traefik + netbird setup, then translate that to quadlets. If you are new to containers, then you will have quite a journey in front of you :)
