Zitadel with Netbird
Use-case: Trying to set up Netbird VPN with Zitadel as the identity provider. Both are self-hosted with Docker Compose.
Environment: Self Hosted
Version: v2.64.1
Stack: Netbird, Zitadel (self-hosted, Docker, PostgreSQL backend). Reverse Proxy with Caddy on a separate LXC (not within the same docker compose).
What you expected to happen: User opens the netbird dashboard, redirects to zitadel for login, after login user is redirected back to dashboard and is authenticated.
What went wrong: Redirect works "partially"?, netbird dashboard 'screen' is shown, but shows "Oops, something went wrong, Error: Unauthenticated". Management.json file in the same directory as zitadel and netbird is completely empty and I am assuming this has something to do with the problem. Management container logs shows:
management-1 | Error: failed reading provided config file: /etc/netbird/management.json: failed parsing Json file after template was executed, err: unexpected end of JSON input
It seems like the installer didn't generate a valid management.json for zitadel. I have no clue what is supposed to go in to this file, or how to configure it manually. Have tried reading documentation, but nothing is mentioned there about this file. What am I supposed to put in to it since it didn't properly auto configure? It's completely empty for me.
