Netbird vs. Tailscale (lemmy.world)

As I'm prepping my self-hosted setup I wanted to know the community's thoughts on Netbird, the FOSS and completely self hosted alternative to Tailscale. I often hear Tailscale used as a super easy plug and play way to share your home server contents with other people, so how does Netbird fair in comparison? Is it as easy? Is it a more buggy experience, more complicated, or does it just work? Any pros and cons, or niche edge case situations I should know about? Thanks in advance!

Haven’t tried netbird, but I do like Tailscale and headscale. Last time I looked at all these, I landed on Netmaker, which might be worth a look. It’s WireGuard based and has a nice web ui for management.

I'd actually prefer full CLI/TUI for management, but it's interesting to see how many different alternatives there are. I only knew about Tailscale going into this.
